60584 the poison cup. „It seems not that I was dreaming of something, but rather that I was dreaming of remembering something that had happened previously in the dream, and in the dream time, rather than in waking life. And so, I thought, each dream brings along with it its own complete world.“ Darosvali Rorosuret

60511 mortal coil

60511 mortal coil. In which we devise a circumstance wherein the tortional energy stored in a long rusty helical doorspring (among alia) becomes a physical, as well as aural, metaphor for the tumult and turmoil referred to in the erstwhile, more classical, sense of the word, ‘coil.’

60484 highway

60484 highway. A highway is but a single thread in the open fabric of the landscape; its path and form constrained by the contours of the earth. The present work is a composed drone that has been cast and worked from material that was selectively mined from recordings of highways and other forms of travel. It withholds any impression of where and when, emphasizing the featurelessness of the source material as a way of probing its power and uncovering its mesmeric potential.

60500 every forever is written in rust ~. The abstraction of distance — the elemental dimension of length — defines the narrow mold into which the experience of time is poured. As we are pulled through this channel, the charge of ourselves passes over the landscape like tinned ghosts, touching nothing, while the land unscrolls beneath us. Yet the overwhelming sensation is that we are motionless, spectators within an enveloping projection.The rush, the white noise of a moving vehicle is like the

60410 desert stop

60410 desert stop. We find a fierce and subtle place along a highway leading out from the city; not really far, but ever so distant in character. At the edge of a fragmented plain, tawny sand laced with salt crystals and dotted with brine pools, we stop to take in the effects of the place: a dead lake, a jagged horizon, a date farm. After a scrambling climb, from my perch atop a shifting dune, my face to the gritty wind and dazzling sunset, I taste eternity.

60477 bar bard

60477 bar bard. Our guide takes us to a bar in the evening; already from the street it sounds like a good time. We go in, I take the only unoccupied chair, which is at the back of the room. Smiling people are all around listening to a local minstrel bowing a one-string instrument and happily singing. We listen as the clever worder strums his instrument and improvises bons mots, causing much mirth, (I am later told) on a wide variety of topics, such as local gossip, as well as more serious subjects

60231 painted over. Here and there, as we wander the streets of Kashan, we observe patches of yellow paint appearing at random on the walls; their distinctive shade suggests that all originate from the same supply of paint. I am told that this is to cover up the graffiti that sometimes appears. (Since other graffiti are left unpainted-over, we can only speculate about what offence was committed by the writings so effaced.)

60349 at daybreak. All cities have their edge places, areas of indifference, where life goes on outside the fovea of modernity. Daylight also has an edge, and when its sun comes to play across these fractured surfaces, it outlines contrasts and deepens shadows, the hiding places of the quotidian.By chance, strangers may end up here, and sometimes they bring fresh eyes with which to see.

60218 mayrau

60218 mayrau. This work’s namesake is a coal mining pit in Bohemia turned into a museum. The ghosts of Mayrau still hang in the changing room, where the workers’ street clothes were hung high above the floor to serve as a visible sign that their uniformed selves were still down in the pit. The chain and pulley system has grown hoarse with rust, and its squeaks have become one of the voices in this piece. Thanks to Dagmar Šubrtová for arranging the Mayrau museum visit for Peter Cusack, Miloš

60311 the animal inside. I am trying to gather what cannot be contained in a waveform. The memory of a thing is not solid. It lives under a tiny glass dome. Upon close examination, it begins to fade. It fades most quickly in the center of focus, a kind of inverse fovea, and it oozes out between our clutching fingers.

60330 the nth iteration. Having been over it many times, I cannot think of what to say about it. That is to say, to say what is final and honest and true about it. And in so saying, to use only those words that are clear and right and just. And at the same time, to say about it what by any means must be said, and then no more, leaving only a sparkling and pure essence. And then put an end on it. I must therefore leave it here, broken off, the question unanswered.

60353 at nightfall. This out-of-the-way place attracts gapers and gazers from many lands, who have come to see its various natural and cultural wonders, only to find that an eerie wind has swept them up like so many leaves and brought them to rest at a lonely mountain hotel.

60359 mirror. We wander the forest of a dead volcano, whose peak still exhales a warm breath from the insides of the earth. As the mountain sighs above us, the woodpeckers hammer and the crows caw. We come across this limpid pool, and gaze as if “… through a glass darkly.”

60303 wind in the leaves. On a warm spring day overlooking the Qudyalçay, a river which severs the community of Mountain Jews of Quba from its Azeri neighbors, we gaze out across the valley, teaming with buzzing insects and birds, from under the shade of a billowing apple tree at the edge of the local Jewish cemetery.

60322 tibetan lunch. After our visit to the monastery of Tagong, we go into a restaurant run by a Tibetan family, where the owners pause their own family meal to prepare a dish of yak and greens for us. I peek into the kitchen to see what is going on. The cook seems to be using the exhaust from a jet engine in the service of stir-fry.

60366 it is almost what it seems to be. I do not wish to go out on a limb and tell you what I think this means. In the first place, I do not really know. I feel myself merely the conduit, the source is somewhere beyond me, untraceable. Secondly, such explanations are superfluous, and anyway, prone to frequent and futile revisions. Why speak? Why, indeed.

60324 road to ahlat. As we set out on a road that takes us from the old citadel of Van along the northern shore of the great lake that shares its name, we can see in the distance that towering thunderheads are acccumulating in the west. The storm passes over us and subsides just as we approach Ahlat and its medieval Seljuk cemetery.
