who once happened to be
my neighbour.
" There is no Why, there is only Why (K)not ? "
— Philippe Petit, Funambule.
i kept a record of my ideas, props and performances on a blog.
i called them "benebombs".
i cooked ten of them.
ze poems were by famous poets
but never quoted.
i used ribbons & usb keys
to benebomb digital artefacts
and dances .
my neighbour was inspiring enough
to make me try new things.
“Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds.
A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.”
