Excerpt :


A bicycle has only openings and no closings. On a bicycle, you can almost ride along a border, and not belong to any country.

In Greece, the navel of the earth is the passageway into hell, the entrance, or the exit, of the place of shadows, the centre of the world.
In trains today, there are no openings any more, there are only closings. (When they work.) In trains, the windows were, have been, replaced by panes of glass.

The faster a train or a plane goes, the less open it is.

Several centres of the world used to exist.

Today, on the hinge between the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries, we notice many transparent buildings in cities with windows, doors and walls.
The generalized existence of wide glass doors, normally closed, seems to be the characteristic of our time.

Attention, security!

You could thus easily show the deep correlation between humans and butterflies.

A hinge is a border capable of being articulated.

From Saarbrücken to Forbach, coal stretches beneath the earth, tunnels, railways, a kilometre below miners in carts cross borders, they have their own customs posts.

A mass grave often bears the narrow mark of invisibility.

Today, 6th March, we drive by car, we drive over the miners.

Every day a large number of earthworms also pass the border, without being checked. A large number of earthworms pass the border daily, totally illegally.

Coal seams do not recognize countries. Coal seams ignore customs. Customs, on the other hand, try, used to try, to see coal.

Over the whole surface of Tibet, an invisible, mental wall …
……….Chinese and Tibetans and tibetans,………………….and
especially in Lhasa, Tibet, Chine, Tibet, Chine, Tibet, Chine.

In systems of thought, thoughts are systematically closed.
