Ah the indignation! | Visual © David Noir
Ah the indignation! ... worship... punish... worship... punish...
How long will the indignation in its flamboyant expression last, when people start obeying and denying their identity again the very next day?
Where's Charlie? | David Noir
Where's Charlie? Or cheap solidarity.
Solidarity is not the display of single-mindedness. I will not be shouted any slogan that is not mine. Not Charlie tonight, not any other day.

Childhood in a room (clue)
Clue! It is childhood that kills childhood. In the nursery, I accuse emotion with imagination and fear. On the spot, summary execution at the edge of the pit. Welcome home! You are back in the Camps of Amor.

Self-portrait in the shape of a ruin
I'm testifying from where I am. As a good archaeologist, I create my own ruin. The loneliness of the fields of childhood is not the same as the loneliness of the fields of adulthood.

There is no project, there is no object. It will always be like that for me from now on. Because the canvas enlarges and stretches the weave of my mental space to the point of making new skins that do not need to be sewn together.

I am a program. I am a program. This + this + this + this. I don't decide it. I am not the master, just the guidance counselor...

| Writing his tongue | Speaking Blood Voice | So Sade!
Writing relieves the tension of over-thinking, stops the bleeding, cauterizes the sense, temporarily closes the still moist wound.

Look away
"Looking elsewhere" is the very principle of theatre, without which it would be impossible to play a situation that clashes with our codes and morals.
