Journey

The Play Blanca Spoon in Concrete
Quantum metapolitics describes a condition wherein political activity appears to occur everywhere at once whilst manifesting nowhere in particular, creating the impression of ubiquitous political engagement that paradoxically produces no substantial political change. The concept captures how contemporary political life has become characterised by constant motion that generates no movement, endless activity that produces no transformation, and perpetual crisis that results in systemic stasis. Within this framework, where all political discourse has been absorbed into spectacular systems of representation and simulation, the spoon embedded in concrete emerges as something altogether strange: a deliberate anti-spectacle that refuses incorporation.

William Rotsaert
By Brian D'Ambrosio From Bruges to Santa Fe, a painter translates memory, motion, and myth through color and curiosity. William Rotsaert paints in the language of color — heatwaves and highways, red-orange skies that shimmer with motion, and the flicker of gasoline flames under a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. His canvases pulse between abstraction and realism, fusing the discipline of the old Flemish masters with the freedom of the American West.

When Time Forgot to Behave
In the vast silence of the desert, where the land stretched like an unbroken thought and the sky hovered in patient blue, there hung a clock from the arm of a dead tree. It was an old pocket watch, silver once, now softened and drooping as if it had grown tired of its own certainty. Time, it seemed, had forgotten how to stay rigid.
