1991 is a key date in the construction of the global empire. At the start of the first Gulf war, George Bush "the father", paraphrasing a soldier, declared: "I don't think we're in this war over the price of a barrel of oil, we're here to define the future of the world for the next 100 years".

“You can see a bird in flight and watch to observe it, or feel that you are flying with it. That is contemplation, becoming the other.” Hafiz. Despite (or because of) its apparent calmness, contemplation is the state that most radically dissolves and liberates the self. Through contemplation, the other gradually seeps into us like gentle rain ... without realising it, we suddenly start to see ... the world is not outside us and nothing is lifeless ... images appear and disappear over the silence of that which has no name or form ... like the blinking of something that isn’t our eyes... perhaps then the inner teacher will appear intimately... you will recognise him because all that has withered blooms again ... then we will know that the sky can also be stone and feet can walk on clouds and ... But make sure you do not name him ... for he will vanish.

Wahid El MoutannaEvery Saturday, members of a group called Falun Gong gather in front of the Chinese consulate on 42nd street in New York City to protest and meditate. On this Saturday, there was a blizzard. They stayed the whole two hours anyway, unmoved by external forces. In the peaceful faces battered by wind and snow, a combination of superhuman resilience and human folly emerges, a mix of absurdity and heroism, eliciting an uncomfortable reaction: we admire the strength of conviction while being tempted to judge the whole thing as fanatical. But here the struggle against nature has taken over the political struggle. Available online until December 27th 2020.
Caraballo-FarmanFootage of the sea and audio recordings of a conversation in which a sinking refugee ship urgently asks for help from the coast guard, and is met by bureaucratic red tape in response .... until the final silence.
