Holi
by Variable
The world is fascinating. People and cultures inspire us. Sadly, the fast paced lifestyles of our generation result in many not taking the necessary step back to soak in the existing world around us. Our goal with this film is to help viewers further appreciate and take notice of the beauty in life & culture that lies within our world…
…so the next time you notice something that strikes you as interesting, stop for a second, start powering on your camera, think about why it’s unique, and snap the shot before you miss it. Life is extraordinary. Embrace it.

Charles Fréger
Wilder Mann
Wilder Mann is the new series by Charles Fréger, taken in 2010 and 2011 across eighteen European countries, from Finland to Greece.
On the trail of the “wild man” and his reemergence, Charles Fréger went in search of “Phenomena”, zoic creations that reflect the primitive form of religions and their reinterpretation in pagan rituals of fertility, sexuality, death and rebirth. Bears, boars, goats, demons and other horned, hairy beasts: Fréger catalogues these “phenomena” of the transformation of man into wild beast and glorifies them in his photographs.
Half anthropology, half photojournalism, Wilder Mann is an archive of antiquity and the customs whose original traces have been lost, a review of traditional cultures from the Middle and Neolithic Ages.
It’s a monumental work of anthropological research: carnivals, winter festivities, fertilization rituals, New Year, Epiphany…some appropriations from other cultures, others not. Certain groups can have an “extremely touristy air” while others are closed off. The study of the mythology of the wild man “is infinite.”
Faced with the “abuse of the real” of our modern world and the artifice of its imagos, Charles Fréger returns with Wilder Mann to a “Degree zero” of representation and offers us an instinctual, brute authenticity through this marvelous, animist voyage.
Taken across Europe, Fréger continues his work in areas across the world.
Still unpublished, a portfolio of the Wilder Mann series was appeared in the latest issue of the magazine Le Monde d’Hermès. The series will also be exhibited in 2012 by the Fondation Hermès in two spaces dedicated to photography: the TH13 Gallery in Berne and the Gallery at Hermès in New York.
Wilder Mann can currently be viewed at the Galerie Fotohof in Salzburg through January 21; at the Museo Vasco in Bilbao from March 7 to March 12, 2012; at the Musée de la Photographie in March 2013. An exhibition will also tour Eastern Europe in 2012.
Finally, Wilder Mann will be the subject of a book available in four languages and released by four European publishers.

dublul
E.S. Posthumus – Nara
What You Need -
Guide my life into destiny
Climb outside
Reach up and paint the sky with me
Finding you has changed everything
We both break free if we make it on top
If one should fall we both will drop
We move together from here on out
What you need is what I’m about
I’m alright with the world we’re in
Let’s end this night
And let it go with the morning light
Finding you has changed everything
Starting with one desire to grow
Our path is laid with seeds we sow
Into the universe we fall
We’re tied together now and forever
.
Lyrics from
http://www.lesfriction.com/?page_id=182
poem preluat de la
http://www.lesfriction.com/?page_id=182
cand am timp o sa fac si traducerea in ro
pt mine vorbeste puternic, de dublul din mine, din fiecare, partea neprelucrata, cea care tot timpul pare sa te traga in jos, de fapt cere doar atentie la ce ai neprelucrat inca.
…
If one should fall we both will drop
Daca e sa cada unul din noi, amandoi ne vom prabusi
…
We both break free if we make it on top
Amandoi ne vom elibera, daca vom tinde catre inalt
Un altfel de discurs
nota: am transcris textul asa cum apare pe youtube, chiar daca este putin adaptat
gasesc o paralela cu viata mea, situatia din Romania si din lume…
Text din video:
Nu prea stiu cum sa incep…
Totul depinde de ce vom face in perioada urmatoare
Si fie ne vindecam impreuna, ca o natiune…
Sau ne vom prabusi
Cu fiecare alegere unul cate unul, pana vom fi terminati
Acum, suntem in iad oameni buni..
Credeti-ma
Si
si putem sa ramanem aici si sa fim facuti praf in continuare…
Sau
Putem sa ne luptam sa gasim drumul nostrum spre lumina…
Sa iesim din iad…
O alegere la un moment dat
Aceasta alegere nu pot sa o fac eu in locul tau
Asta nu e o alegere pt un singur om
Ci pentru o natiune
Ma uit in jur si vad atatia oameni care isi doresc altceva
Am facut toate greselile pe care o natiune le putea face;
Am vandut totul pe nimic
Am cheltuit mult peste cat ne puteam permite, ne vine sa credem sau nu…
Ne-am instrainat unii de altii si am inchis prea des ochii atunci cand nu trebuia
Iar in ultima vreme
Nici nu mai avem curajul sa ne uitam la noi ce am ajuns
Cand imbatranesti in viata ti se iau tot felul de lucruri
Asta e parte din viata
Dar ceea ce invatam cand pierdem lucruri
E ca viata e jocul propriilor alegeri
La fel e si viata unei natiuni
Pentru ca fiecare in joc, om sau natiune
Marja de eroare este atat de mica
Jumatate de pas mai devreme sau mai tarziusi nu mai reusesti
Jumatate de secunda mai repede sau mai incet si ai pierdut momentul
Alegerile pe care trebuie sa le faci sunt peste tot in jurul nostru
Sunt in fiecare moment al jocului, in fiecare secunda
In natiunea asta luptam pt fiecare alegere
Ii facem praf pe toti cei din jur pt fiecare alegere
Tinem cu dintii de fiecare alegere
(nota: nu ma regasesc in ipostaza asta cu ii fac praf pe cei ce mi se opun — in schimb prefer sa stau demn si vertical catre tot ce vine catre mine cu impulsuri agresive, si nu ma las ingenuncheata de neajunsuri si nedreptati)
Pt ca toate aceste alegeri puse cap la cap
Inseamna diferenta dintre a pierde si a castiga
Dintre a trai si a muri!
In orice lupta
Cel care e dispus sa moara, va castiga acea alegere
Stiu ca daca inca mai traiesc
Este pt ca inca sunt dispus sa lupt si sa mor pentru fiecare alegere
Pentru ca pana la urma a allege inseamna sa afirmi ceea ce crezi
Nu pot sa va oblig
Uitati-va la cel de langa voi …
Uitati-va in ochii lui
Veti vedea un om care e dispus sa lupte alaturi de voi
Veti vedea un om care e dispus sa se sacrifice pentru ceilalti…
Pentru ca stie ca si voi ati face la fel pentru el
Acesta este spiritual unei natiuni
Si fie ne vindecam acum ca o natiune
Fie vom muri ca niste indivizi oarecare
Acesta este jocul oameni buni
Asta e totul.
Ce o sa faceti?
