by the pond of Reykjavik we chose to shoot out video. about an indian look-a-like carrying all the burden of Icelandic contemporary society. among them, there are wooden puppets, wearing the the faces of politicians who caused and perserved the situation. but it doesn't matter anyways. the meaning of it should not be pointed out, since the jæja movement we started has only one rule:
when you don't know what to do, just do something!
so we did. and the decision we chose, was having fun and not think about the greater picture. we did what felt momentarily right. we did what we felt it was funny.
we drove some moments to the extent and some we deleted completly. with some actors we played nastily, making them to puppets in our hands. to the others we were gentle and wanting to respect their effort. it didn't matter at the moment, because we weren't driven by revenge or bad feelings towards anyone, as well as good ones too. we simply reacted to the things emerging, happening in front of our eyes. we believe, noone can actually influence anything. we believe there are no things that can be said or explained, since everything you do in that moment is right. with past taking over in a next second, the reason exists anymore.
i love this movement. it has balls. it doesn't care what others might think or not think. it doesn't want to motivate noone and not discourage anyone. it has no remorse, but it wishes nothing else done either. there is no shock motivated art in jæja. there are things. nothing more. there are only decisions of a given moment. no future, no option, no happiness, no sadness, no past, nothing...
no thing
i sat there, by the pond of reykjavik. thinking about what we'd done. i lifted my photo and took some pictures. it is nothing we have done, yet we did everything.
i think i will eat cereals tomorrow.
