It's a strange picture. It puzzles me. The character seems to throw up a water stream in which we distinguish a body. But one can also think that the water comes from the mouthpiece of an old telephone. Flood of words? And this water feeds a pebble beach where big waves washing ashore. On the wall to the right, the image of a woman whose arm is beyond the frame and holding a bag. The face of the main character consists of a part of an old painting by Caravaggio.

I must say that during all these days, I am immersed in the biography of Kafka and what impresses me is the number of letters and diary entries that he wrote every day - an endless flow of words, interrupted by empty periods. In writing the preceding sentence, I suddenly realize that since my abandonment of golf, the image stream is flowing stronger than ever. This is relevant because when I was making it, I thought of a creator, or even the Creator. This could be me.

The woman in the frame is probably a condensation of many women, but I think it holds papers, solid matter compared to this waterfall. From its image status she becomes concrete. Is it not the contribution, among others, of D.? Another option would be the image of the hero of Kaka’s Metamorphosis room.

As for the surfer, he could be another avatar of the artist who remains on the water, at the risk of falling or even drown.

Despite these explanations, the meaning of the image escapes me. And I like that.

 

 

 

C’est une drôle d’image. Elle constitue une énigme pour moi-même. Le personnage semble vomir un flot d’eau dans lequel on distingue un corps. Mais on peut également penser que l’eau provient de l’écouteur d’un téléphone à l’ancienne. Flot de mots ? Et cette eau nourrit une plage à galet où semblent s’échouer de grosses vagues. Sur le mur, à droite, l’image d’une femme dont le bras dépasse le cadre et qui tient une pochette. Le visage du personnage principal est constitué d’une partie d’une peinture ancienne, ici du Caravage.

Je dois dire que pendant tous ces jours, je suis plongé dans la biographie de Kafka et ce qui m’impressionne c’est le nombre de lettres et de notes de journal qu’il a écrit jour après jour – un flot incessant de mots, interrompu par des périodes de vide. En écrivant la phrase qui précède, je réalise soudain que, depuis mon abandon du golf, le flot d’images coule plus fort que jamais. C’est pertinent, car au moment de le faire, j’ai pensé à un créateur, voire au créateur tout court. Cela pourrait donc être moi.

La femme dans le cadre est sans doute une condensation de plusieurs femmes, mais je pense qu’elle tient des papiers, du solide par rapport à cette chute d’eau. De son statut d’image elle devient concrète. N’est-ce pas l’apport, parmi tant d’autres, de D. ? Une autre piste serait l’image dans la chambre du héros de la Métamorphose.

Quant au surfer, c’est encore un avatar de l’artiste qui se maintient sur l’eau, au risque de tomber ou même de s’y noyer.

 

Malgré toutes ces explications, le sens de l’image m’échappe. Et cela me plaît.
