Piotr Zbierski - Love Has to Be Reinvented

In the diaries of Cocteau, I came across this fragment, which deeply affected me:

“And then I realized that the world of my dreams is equally full of memories as my real life. Thus, it is a real being, perhaps even richer, deeper, more precise in many details and more full of episodes than the waking one. It was difficult to properly locate memories in one or the other world. They were extraordinary, complicated, and have become my second life, twice as big and twice as long as my own.”

—Piotr Zbierski

The South Street Village

In the only Maoist village in China, the housing and electricity are free, the healthcare is provided—but underneath the harmonious, untroubled surface lies a deep uneasiness about the projected image of perfection.

Killing Time in Paradise

A poetic book composed of all photos and no text other than its koan-like title. People who “kill time” flipping back and forth through the pages will be rewarded perhaps with playful new connections and lingering meditations.
