Mountains aren’t blue.
Deepness doesn’t exists in nature. There’s no perspective outside our bodies, mountains aren’t blue and the earth doesn’t know anything about the vanishing point. Objects stands in their own position in space and in cosmos (x,y,z,t,E), it’s just our mind projection that put into relationship the visual perceptions, complete them with other immaterial informations and build up a volumetric space, that can be distorted while we move and think.
When you step outdoor, by instinct you have a look right around: that’s your piece of panorama. When you look into the stereoscopic visors you follow the way of images taking form inside your brain once again. They seem to be nearly fake, something like a maquette, a scale model, a little theater with carton wings. We live right there, this is our home.
Animals don’t care about borders, they trample on a roof as it was the ground. Look down, these chickens and roosters live between the rails, the cycling road, the canal embankment and the station parking lot. For them the border between Flandre, Wallonie, Netherlands, Deutschland and even the sea it’s simply and big poultry house. When it’s hot they stay in the shadow, with rain they look for a shelter, at night they sleep in the same usual place very close one to each other.
Chickens don’t remember to have broken wings and one day they could jump from the roof and don’t be able to fly. Even though the terrace floor seemed to continue in the same color of the road and the water, as it was a single plane surface brown and gray.
