4th of July. 2017 Vienna.
“ I have done this exercise in various times since it occurred to me, but I can say today is the first time I seriously maintained the purpose for more than an hour. I left my flat walking randomly and now ended up at the Stadpark where I sat on a bench writing this down.
I felt the sky was closed, like a blanket over me, dense. Also like walking in a tent. The buildings became jelly like plastic. They were not solid, they jiggled with the evening light and while going around corners or curves seemed to be embracing.
As I walked I felt the ground as sponge and I bounced up at each step.
The air was also quite dense at times, like going through silk.
I felt at one moment as I saw a building with lights on at dusk that the sun was trapped inside the building and was wanting to get out. It was claiming the attention of all those humans walking in the street like me to please open a window and let it out but nobody heard it. All humans moved like shadows with no body. No perception. Just going from one place to the other without really being in the present space. I was only an observer and should not intervin.
I felt cars that were circulating in the street were being pulled like beads on a string.
I was able to play with making perspective disappear and feel the cars approaching me were like soap bubbles getting larger and then as they went past me, shrunk gradually.
I felt a tree coming towards me to cover and protect me, I saw its lower branches reaching out for me.
