INTRO :

MANUEL SANTO ( PORTUGAL)

There's something in the air.

I know that I don't want to be an app (like social networks are) with a "supposed" miracle vaccine.

 So, I continue to work in between arts projects with some of the best international artists that I know of along their astonishing artworks in printed form (with some work by me on them) to be exhibited or published in books worldwide always with their permission in the company of my present or past memories in my own life (because I truly believe that they're the most important thing that we've as human beings)

 

MONALI ROY ( INDIA)

- I'm only Monali...

- Not Lisa Mona's alley...

THE FRACTION ~ 1/4 ~

 

This is a fractional plot of a girl's Diary

who... settled down in a labyrinth

 

( As we know how to live upon fractions

we know how to draw the graph of fractional life..)

 

The girl, (whose mother used to show her, how to maintain a Diary of illusion) considered this Diary as written note of dreams....

 

Her mother was the Diva of sorrow.

The mother's desire was to die in front of a river

 

And her corpse was found within a soggy tiny apartment of a crowded city... 

 

The journey of the Diary had started long before

 

When, the little girl went through constant feeling of severe isolation

 

When her mother was generally absorbed in love of an other woman

 

In those days, the girl was the sole witness of consequences ...

 

How their home was set on fire

 

How fairly her mother found shelter in arms of her aunt, whom she thought, just their family friend or well wisher...

 

When she was yawning for her mother's love, two women used to find contentment within each other

 

The Diary pointed to the fact that,

 

The girl's loving  Mom and the other lady eventually  became two giant shadows or ropes or snakes

 

A Black  and a White  ....

 

Or, the women....  Black Diva of sorrow & the  White Diva of happiness merge absolutely  ....

 

The Diary states....

 

Black Diva and White Diva live together .

 

One drop blood of Black is mixed with one drop blood of White and dusk appears in their contaminated confined zone.

 

Divas whisper : "We can't love any form of water in saddened mode..."

 

Black is omnipresent. White is too.

 

Power of words is consumed by both.

 

White moves from one hemisphere to another.

 

She observes thousand of curious eyes

 

She captures colors and storms.

 

She estimates how life flows around her surrounding ..

 

How death penetrates through happy-hours

 

The Black , stands straight spreading her hands

She feels pain of insanity and hunger

 

She can easily copy

 

Pain.

 

Tears.

 

Hanged humanity.

 

There are light bearers without warmth or fire.

 

There are shadows without voice.

 

These shadows are hidden behind layer of stolen faces.

 

Faces stolen from dead bodies.

 

Dead bodies are revealing formulae of standing high and being famous.

 

Black brings a make-up box, with pastel color tones to paint each of her wound with different pastel shades

 

White needs no make up.

 

Light appears to both ... without any heart and soul

 

White and Black  together, may construct a 3 dimensional model

 

But, 1 dimension (their past) is eaten by moths and mammoths

 

So, the script never mind to follow  lust of rest two, fulfilling all desirable fantasies...

 

Here, orgasms are sincerely,  plastic.

 

And, plastic is well consumed by both the Divas

THE FRACTION ~ 2/4 ~

 

 

Though, the girl was always in dilemma 

She could not reach a complete affirmation or a perfect null point

 

Her road remained  impossible, since she lost her mother

 

She walked a half, another half could not be completed ...

 

Wherever she stopped, the point became illusive

 

Her Diary , again.....

 

" Before everything was revealed, when the pieces of flesh were pushing their way out, darkness marked its steps in a dungeon. A body, a room, a mould of earth and a milky way were mortaged to the rainbow. As far as the scents of a dressed up corpse go, stairs climb up a host a liberating seeing souls cleaning up their kitchens, libraries, coffee, and bar counters. Anyone can be invisible in any way without becoming a mechanized fossil. Or melancholy. The temperature could gradually fall, within the depths of a perfectly fit consciousness , as if the pounds of meat culled out without the skin would hang on to clips forever. Fresh! Neither dust, nor rain, nor clouds, nor sunshine, nor bacteria. Just magic"

 

And she felt the magic with sudden appearance of a stranger in her life...

 

Or she was an element of shadow

 

She tried to divide every moment as both 'Yes' and 'No', wiithin any protected space...

 

Ossilating between a birth or a death

 

Fixed at a half-life of any struggling process...

In between exhale and inhale

 

She recognised  the stranger, as a bridge towards a certain fantasy, named life....

 

Her Diary prompted ....

 

" When speed lost

Time stood still aside

 

The change was

In environment

In the arrangement of  room

 

I ignored new sequence of colors

On bed, mirror, chester drawers

 

A old dark sea walked out from previous centuries

With increased level of thirst

From an oil-spilled desolate painting, suspended carelessly near ornamented arch

 

Enhancing my mood to drown

 

In painted frame, the sea was not complete or a dead thing

 

....It was overflowing

 

...Gggle...

...."

 

She barely  knew her own mind or  the stranger's

 

But she  could not control her dream

 

Dream of becoming whole....

 

And the diary wrote....

 

 

"...so, we may reach that shelter, where we sleep without any anxiety or fear of loss! I don't know the sustainability of this particular phase. But, we all hunt like jackals this particular feel good state of mind..."

THE FRACTION ~ 3/4 ~

 

This part is quite common and expected.....the girl met the boy Manuel  and both started chirping like old owls... themselves

....

Girl < - The morning fog made me very upset ...

 

Manuel > - Don’t you like fog? I like it a lot... gives me a mystic feeling. Of course, if i have to work, i get very angry ...

 

Girl < -  The fog ruins my day ...

 

Manuel > - It happens to me when it rains ...

...

 

There was a time which was not killed by hours and minutes....

 

The time without any boundary

The time, which can grow from any point or move any direction....

 

Girl < - When it rains in Delhi, I feel very lonely but rain in Kolkata is  beautiful!

 

Manuel > - I enjoyed September rain in Porto.. i loved the water fall on leaves...as if watching rain was more considerable than University - lectures

 

Girl < - Overnight rain also has a different sensation  ...

 

Manuel > -Oh! The  sound  makes me  crazy

 

.....

 

And the girl used to interact the boy frequently

 

Without any logic /cause / intension....

 

 

Girl < - Or if there was no fire the carbon count would not increase.... Seen that way, if there were no wheels, there would be no pollution ...

 

Manuel > - Pollution from the wheel? How come!  Motor car, fossil fuel?

 

Girl < -  I have omitted  many steps ....And if we had stayed like apes, we would not have been raped ...

 

Manuel > - Happened.  Rape happens in elephants and lions ...

 

Girl < - Proof?

 

....

 

With time, elements face changes...

Logic / cause / intension move upward to form froth....

The time tries to cope up with the place, exactly where it is .....

Less wait, less dream, less illusion, less dilemma...

 

Manuel > - Time is too short in movies of Vincent's  and  too much of sky ...

 

Girl < - Yes, in  'Dreams' ...?

 

Manuel > - After Vincent's death, someone is rediscovering him - going to Earl....

 

It's true, touch has it's own memory!

The day with scorching sunlight and the night with its horror push the time more and more towards touchable reality....

 

 

Manuel > - However, the favour towards those who lose in life, i mean the common people ...

 

Girl < - There are very few people who have just won ...

 

Manuel > - Because statistically almost everyone is a loser . So it is easy to relate ...

....

 

Time thinks, happiness or unhappiness is not in the mirror, it's in mind...

 

....

 

Manuel > - I still don't know what to do, to be happy ...

 

Girl < - I assume, being happy is an ideal mind-set. Which never happens

 

...

And the clock has started killing itself with minutes and hours....

 

 

Manuel > - I will wait, for you

 

Girl < - No, You, wouldn’t . You  must engage in your dream involving many people...

 

 

Manuel > - It's not so simple

 

Girl < - We were together a part of time .... Isn't it enough ???

 

Manuel > - Yes, yes. I said, already....

 

.....

 

"To see a world in a grain of sand

And heaven in a wild flower

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

And eternity in an hour"

 

..... 

 

Girl < - My packing, started....the leave is now in the sun shine.....  But it's raining inside...

 

Manuel > - Womb is crying!

 

Girl < - Ah! Yes

 

 

Manuel > -  I think, my womb is also crying!! 

 

Girl < - Hee hee ..

 

Manuel > -I'm a little melo ..

 

Girl < -Then, go, change your mood!  You crazy! 

 

Manuel > - Kisses...

NOT FRACTION ~ 4/4 ~

 

He says, 'It's not that I like ice

Or freezin' winds and snowy ground.

It's just sometimes it's kind of nice

To be the only bird in town.'

 

....

 

The girl returns to that small apartment

Which is full of memoirs, her mother left

 

Since, the excitement of life does not subside

Since, apparently there is no end of time  

 

A point of return appears to complete the girl's journey.....

 

The apartment, the city, the torn love or hate stories from her memory knock at once, on surface....

 

She is supposed to move back to her old form

To the same black and white checkers board...

Towards the maze of bricks

 

The Diary says,  " I am in inertia of fractionalized illusions

Which are missing particles of a whole dream

Nice, loving, provocative but almost beyond reach ... as the blue moon"

 

She whispers " The new time in the old space may bring new hope

 

After all, the lost is lost

The gained is gained "

 

It seems, the  abandoned city, the forgotten walls,  the wait... paint every corner with color of intoxication, pretense,  negligence or something else....

 

Somehow, she sense the same gloom of unbearable wait,  what infected her mother, once upon a time!

 

She thinks, death was like a bliss over stagged thoghts

 

Atleast death brought freedom to that  old lady,  whose waiting for a river grown uncanny, over time

 

....

 

For Manuel, emptiness is transformed to  blood and flesh

 

Absurdity moves towards  anoint actions with flowers or swords ( he is not sure....)

 

For him, this is the time to find new destination with same old heart....

 

And he gains the disease from the girl

 

He starts maintaining  document of words....

 

Which says,

 

" Its of no use

to argue with you

you recognise

 

a flower, as flower

air, as air

sky, as sky

land, as land

light, as light...

 

the day, you feel

 

the scope of

sky

earth

breeze

waves

flame

within a flower...

 

we will meet again

to end up

the argument"

 

He believes, life is the name of letting go....

 

And, the words, once written are great relief of scattered mind....

 

His days are captured in tight schedules

 

Nights with friends and  merriments ...

 

Weekends are in adventures

 

And sometime, his mind keeps scribbling ... 

 

"When i welcome you, in my room, on my bed, within me....  As if, i have welcomed  river, sky, trees, birds! As if, all have come inside me....  Even those stars, come down!

 

It’s true;

I can’t hold a piece of land

As so costly

 

I can hold entire sky within me

 

I fight till end

To get back my share of sky"

 

....
