Heather Bamford on Albrecht Dürer’s Self-portrait with hand and Pillow


Albrecht's Dürer's self-portrait hangs on the walls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's a sketch, a study on how to paint himself -a subject, actually, that passionated Dürer, and made him invent a painter's new autobiographical pact. Here are some of the pictures (only studies, as well) of Heather's

Les trottoirs de l’histoire de l’art (Misstic)


These images come from the time when I used to live in the rue Marie Benoist, a really small impasse by the Place de la Nation. Oftentimes, I wandered around the neighborhoods with my cameras just looking for something that would provoke my thoughts. I used to live alone. Upon

A petrified forest or large redwoods ~ (micro-tales, 9)


I was going to travel to what I thought to be a remote part of the world in which there was a petrified forest. Large extensions of redwoods would have been surprised by the sudden eruption of the Mount Saint Helena volcano. What an undending verticality of stone, I would

A study on how to become a Girl with a Pearl Earring

Alberto Montaner and the Girl with a Pearl Earring ~ letter


Dear Alberto, Back in the year XXXX, when I was alone and living in an empty house, I suddenly phoned you. The books that remained with me were all out of their shelves. Or, to be more exact, there were no bookcases any more. The walls, then completely naked had

Unos cuantos tratados sobre la república


La República es siempre una teoría. No está sujeta al linaje, a los procesos genéticos, ni necesariamente a las estructuras. La República puede reinventarse frecuentemente. Ségolène Royal -en un movimiento audaz y seguramente equivocado desde un punto de vista electoral- manifestaba la necesidad de lanzar al mundo a una Sexta

Large extensions of petrified something (micro-tales, 8)


For more than twelve days, my computer screen has been showing this image. I took it some time ago, maybe two years ago. I know I could figure out the exact date, the precise time, and even the particular people whom I was travelling with. All those details, but the

Amadís y un alano blanco de la jauría de don Juan de Aragón


La clave para escribir es escribir. No hay otra. Sucede lo mismo que en cualquier otro deporte: la falta de práctica se acusa instantáneamente. Durante casi tres meses, mi acercamiento a la escritura ha sido prácticamente inexistente, por motivos que no podrían ser más ajenos a mi voluntad. Pero ahora
