Changes happen in dark places.

Parts 1 & 2 of my Fall Series.

An ode to the absurd, an homage to Bas Jan Ader, and an affirmation of Camus' notion that the absurdity of existence (and not gravity) links mankind to the world.

--

“The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth…. The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment it is all that links them together. It binds them one to the other as only hatred can weld two creatures together.” – Albert Camus

“I want to do a piece where I go to the Alps and talk to a mountain. The mountain will talk of
things which are necessary and always true, and I shall talk of things which are sometimes,
accidentally true.” – Bas Jan Ader
