A Square Wind Shivers
First visit to Cypress Hills Cemetery Brooklyn - New York City. Visiting Piet Mondrian's gravestone. - Wind howls towards the end of day. Hurry Hurry. The lady at the entrance welcomes me with plastic bouquets. Mondrian and Figurative Flowers. A problematic duo. If she knows where I can find him? She hands out a map. With notable corpses. Maybe he's on there. She isn't so sure. Kids from the neighborhood are gathering around the grave of a young man. Smoking grass. Furtherdown the path a Mexican family is drinking beers, litting candles. From the back of the car salsa notes are coming my way.
Some sketches made for video work commemorating his geometric legacy.
Presentation in Summer 2012.

- Sometimes I freeze.
Whenever this happens, whenever I waver, lacking the quality of wandering freely, I return. To the beginning – to Questions Of Travel;
What if Clouds cease to rove around?
What if Hail retires?
What if Wind slows down?
What if Snow forgets to fall?
What if high and low pressure Air can’t collide?
What if Thunder remains silent?
What if Skies close their windows?
