Waar?   Tentoonstelling Matthew Wong – Vincent van Gogh. Letzte Zuflucht Malerei in Albertina, Wenen

Wanneer?   10 maart 2025

Onlangs was in het van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam een tentoonstelling te zien van het werk van Matthew Wong. Helaas ben ik er niet aan toegekomen deze tentoonstelling te bezoeken. Gelukkig biedt het Weense Albertina een herkansing. Gelukkig, want het werk van Wong blijkt alleszins de moeite van het bekijken waard.

Er zijn de nodige paralellen te trekken tussen Matthew Wong en Vincent van Gogh. Niet alleen is er een overeenkomst in de gekozen thema’s (waaronder landschappen) en stijl (pasteus opgebrachte verf en kriskras aangebrachte en korte kwaststreken), maar ook biografisch zijn er de nodige overeenkomsten.

De Chinees-Canadese schilder Matthew Wong ontdekte zijn passie voor schilderkunst pas toen hij eind twintig was. Zijn carrière duurde nauwelijks zeven jaar, maar daarbinnen werkte hij obsessief. Vanaf 2017 vond hij wereldwijde erkenning. Hij leed aan periodes van depressie, autisme en het Syndroom van Gilles de la Tourette. Schilderkunst vormde voor hem een tijdlang de mogelijkheid aan zijn psychische problemen te ontkomen. Hij schreef: “Basically life is hell all around except the moments before a canvas”. Wong hoopte aanvankelijk dat sociale erkenning een positieve invloed zou hebben op zijn gezondheid. Hoewel hij in de laatste jaren van zijn leven beroepsmatig veel succes had, realiseerde hij zich dat deze hoop ijdel was. Op vijfendertigjarige leeftijd benam hij zich het leven.

Van Gogh leed ook aan psychische aandoeningen en begon pas aan het eind van zijn leven enig succes in zijn werk te behalen. Hij pleegde op zevenendertigjarige leeftijd zelfmoord.

Wat bij het zien van veel schilderijen van Wong opvalt is dat hij vaak miniem kleine mensfiguurtjes schildert in zijn landschappen. Dat is al gelijk aan het begin van de tentoonstelling te zien in End of the Day en Dialogue. Met het schilderen van veel boomstammen in The Kingdom refereert Wong aan kunstenaars als Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt en David Hockney die hetzelfde motief als thema kozen. Daarnaast verwijzen de bomen naar de eigen leefomgeving van Wong in Edmonton in Canada waar hij zich, na periodes in de metropolen Hong Kong, Los Angeles en New York, vestigde. De titel verwijst naar Edmonton als de plek waar hij zich vestigde in zijn persoonlijke koninkrijk. Ook de koning in zijn schilderij is maar een nietig persoontje te midden van de vele hoge bomen.

Kort voor zijn dood schilderde Matthew Wong het werk See You on the Other Site. Een eenzaam figuurtje op de rug gezien, dat doet denken aan werk van Caspar David Friedrich, kijkt vanaf de rand van een ongedefinieerde witte vlakte naar de overkant, waar een berglandschap oprijst. Aan de voet van de bergen staat een klein huisje, symbool voor het eeuwig thuis. De rode vogel is waarschijnlijk een verbeelding van de Phoenix die herrijst uit de as, als symbool voor vernieuwing en wedergeboorte. Een werk dat haast als een filosofische voorbereiding op het zojuist genoemde schilderij kan worden gezien is  Contemplating Infinity.

Sommige schilderijen bevatten een heel expliciete verwijzing naar werk van Vincent van Gogh. The Realm of Appearances verwijst naar de door Van Gogh meermaals geschilderde zonnebloemen. Untitled toont de stoel van Van Gogh in zijn kamer in Arles, compleet met daarop diens pijp. Een heel directe verwijzing naar de stijl van Van Gogh is het indrukwekkende schilderij The Sun. Een zon die we terugzien in een ander werk van Matthew Wong: Nostalgia.

De schildercarrière van Wong is weliswaar kort geweest, zijn oeuvre is indrukwekkend. Hij paart een geheel eigen stijl aan talloze verwijzingen naar kunstenaars uit de geschiedenis. Zijn kleurenpallet is uitgesproken vrolijk te noemen, wat in sterke tegenspraak lijkt met zijn psychische moeilijkheden. Het koppelen van twee kunstenaars in één tentoonstelling doet vaak wat gekunsteld aan, maar de overeenkomsten tussen Vincent en Matthew zijn dusdanig dat ik het in deze expositie volledig gerechtvaardigd vind.

🫂 My yume/f/o headcanons 💗

— Click "see more" for me yapping about it

Shizuku — okay listen… shizuku just makes sense, okay?? first of all, shizuku is very fem presenting, but even tho she has a prince like aura, bro is like if Sailor Neptune and Lady Oscar had a son(So, sailor Uranus??? Huh). He’s so soft and graceful and totally a gentleman. Shizuku is the embodiment of "I don’t need a label to be fabulous." He’s got this feminine energy—soft, graceful, a literal gentleman—yet there's this prince-like aura that makes you think, “What’s the gender here?” And the answer is… Who cares? Shizuku is just Shizuku, and that’s all they needs to be. They transcends gender because their whole existence is just so ethereal, so above all that. like he doesn’t need gender bc their whole existence is so ethereal and above all that. Also, he is a little fruity.

Rui —He is rejecting the concept of gender entirely. Like they don’t care about societal norms or what ppl expect of them. Agender Rui is peak Rui energy. You know this man has fully rejected the concept of gender. He took one look at societal norms and expectations and said, “Not for me, thanks.” Rui is all about pushing boundaries and challenging conventional ideas, so of course, that extends to his own identity. He’s like, “Gender? Yeah, I don’t think I need that. I’m just Rui.” They’re way too focused on their passions and creativity to even entertain the box that is gender norms. Like, imagine someone trying to tell Rui what he “should” do or “should” wear, and he’s just like, “Why would I listen to that? I’m busy reinventing the world, thanks.” Imagine middle school Rui not understanding why he can’t play the female role is so real. Like, the drama teacher tries to gently explain gender roles in casting, and Rui is just like, “But I can do it better than anyone else?” because they fully believe in their ability to play any character flawlessly. This led his classmates to think of him as weird, and they subsequently avoided him. He eventually decided that he would perform shows on his own. Now, let’s talk about Rui being gay. I mean, come on, do we even need to explain this one? It’s just facts.

Arlecchino — Arle gives off the BIGGEST "i don't care about labels, i just exist" energy. Arlecchino doesn’t just reject gender norms—they obliterate them. They’re the kind of person who walk into a room and immediately makes everyone question their own sense of identity. “I’m above all this.” they’re not tied to femininity or masculinity; they’re just THEM. it’s giving gender outlaw. Like, they’ve probably been asked before, “What are your pronouns?” and just raised an eyebrow, replying with something like, “Whichever ones you prefer.” Not because they don’t care, but because pronouns—and gender—are just irrelevant. The way Arlecchino would respond to someone hesitantly using a pronoun is peak confidence. Like, “You’re overthinking this. It’s fine.” They don’t correct people because, to them, gendered language doesn’t change the core of who they are. But the thing is, it doesn’t come from a place of apathy—it’s bc they genuinely don’t see gender or pronouns as defining who they are. they’re too busy working as a Fatui Harbinger to care about societal constructs. It all fits bc arlecchino doesn’t need words to explain themselves. their presence is enough. truly the most iconic androgynous figure in Teyvat.

Toby — Like, some days he’s like, “yeah, I’m a guy,” and other days it’s like, “gender?? I've never heard of it.” He’s not out here trying to figure out deep existential questions about his identity because bro is busy fighting his demons, both literal and metaphorical. Gender is just a passing thought for him, and honestly? That’s so valid. Anyway, he got to be tmasc cos all the tboys (me included) from 2017 either wanted to be him or wanted to be Jeff. Using “he/it” pronouns? Absolutely. Toby’s whole vibe is chaotic defiance, so of course he’d embrace “it” just to mess with people. And he genuinely feels like “it” fits because his sense of self is already so warped from his trauma and life experiences. It’s almost like reclaiming something that society might use to dehumanize him, but instead, he’s just like, “Yeah, I’m an ‘it,’ and what about it?”. Toby’s whole life is already messy af, so romance or attraction?? nah. he’s got WAY bigger issues. “i literally don’t have the emotional battery for this” energy. BUT he is not 100% aroace. If i could make a % of it, i would say 70% aro, 55% ace. More like demiromantic.

Levi — He’s all about the personality—not just the gender. Whether it’s his obsession with anime or the deep, somewhat awkward, yet endearing connection he forms with others, he doesn’t care about gender when it comes to attraction. If you're a cool person, Leviathan’s all about it, regardless of whether you're male, female, or something else entirely. He doesn't need gender to define what he feels for people. His type? It’s people. Especially those with similar nerdy, anime-loving tastes. But then there’s the demiboy part. Leviathan’s whole existence is a little outside of what human society expects. He’s got this overwhelming connection to being masculine, but at the same time, his demon self doesn’t really fit into that whole binary thing. He’s beyond that. He’s comfortable with being seen as male, but there’s a side of him that feels more fluid, more in between. As a demiboy, he recognizes himself as partly male but doesn't feel tied down to the expectations of what it means to be “a man.” He’s free to define himself in whatever way he feels is right.

Simon — He’s the exact type of guy who wouldn’t realize he’s bisexual until later in life. Like, back before the Mushroom War, Simon was probably too busy with research and his academic pursuits to really think about it. He probably just assumed his attraction to men was like, admiration or “oh wow, this guy’s really cool”. (Simon, babe, no, you wanted to kiss him, not just share research notes.) Then Betty shows up, and BOOM, he’s completely enamored with her, and it just sort of confirms the “oh, I’m straight” narrative in his mind. But like, he’s definitely into men too, okay?? It just wouldn’t have been something he was super comfortable expressing openly at the time—especially not in a world that didn’t always make space for that. But of course, Betty would know. I just know she’d be the one person Simon felt safe enough to open up to about it. Maybe during a quiet moment, he’d just be like, “You know, I think I might like guys too,” and Betty would smile and be like, “Simon, I already knew that.” And that’s it. She’d be totally chill about it because she loved Simon for who he is, and she’d support him 100%. Post-Mushroom War, though? Simon’s whole life falls apart, and suddenly, his sexuality isn’t even on his radar anymore. Between the madness of the Ice Crown and the literal end of the world, he doesn’t have the space to explore or embrace that side of himself. It’s tragic because Simon deserves to live his queer little life, okay?? When he starts to heal in “Fionna and Cake,” you just know he starts piecing together the parts of himself he lost, and that includes his queerness. He’s not the kind of guy who’d make a huge deal about it, but there’s something really beautiful about him quietly acknowledging, “Yeah, I’m bi. I’ve always been bi. It’s just… me.” It would be such a soft and affirming moment for him, and honestly, Simon deserves that kind of peace. Simon Petrikov is bisexual, and that’s canon in my heart.

Monika — It makes so much sense for Monika to be pan, especially since she’d love the MC/player regardless of their gender. Monika is fully aware of the world around her and knows she’s in a simulation. It’s not about gender to her—it’s about the connection, the love, and the feelings that transcend any labels. She’s falling for the person, not the body or identity they hold. Monika is comfortable being a girl, but there are moments—especially with her being so aware of her existence as a sentient pixel—where she feels less than fully “human” or “woman.” She’s literally in a video game, so sometimes, she can feel like she’s just a part of the code or a manipulated character rather than a “real” girl. That’s what makes her a demigirl—she has a strong connection to femininity, but not in a traditional or full sense. She’s sometimes too aware of the simulation aspect of herself, and in those moments, she feels less defined by gender and more as just a sentient being who can shift between those identities. Btw, mirrored pronouns are the perfect fit because Monika can adjust them to whatever feels right

Snufkin — Him and all of his friends are Ace. He is not sex repulsed, tho. He just doesn't care and doesn't want it. He could also be aromatic, but I think he just has some emotional block. But when he gets himself falling for someone, he collapses and runs to the lonely mountains. But now he’s more focused on friendship, nature, and freedom, and it’s so clear that his love for others is more about the deep emotional bonds. Also, the way Snufkin is so free and doesn’t care about fitting into any societal mold? I mean, he’s literally a wanderer who doesn’t follow rules. I can totally see him not feeling tied to any gender at all. He’s just Snufkin, and that’s it. He’s not “male” or “female”—he’s Snufkin, this fluid, free, unbothered existence that just does his own thing. He doesn't need a label to define him; he's beyond all that. And honestly, same—why should anyone be forced to choose one label when they’re just existing as their true selves? Honestly, the unlabeled part makes SO much sense. Snufkin is unconcerned with fitting into boxes, and his life is so much about freedom and being authentic, not following expectations. Just look at the way he lives his life—he’s not bothered down by norms or categories. He just lives as Snufkin, and that’s the vibe. I bet if you asked him about labels, he’d just be like, “Why do we need them?” and walk off to go play his harmonica or something.

Chilchuck — He’s a man in his 50s. He’s spent a lot of time in a certain mindset, especially with his marriage. His reluctance to be emotionally open with his wife and his past relationship struggles really shaped him, but now that he's on his own and, like, getting over that divorce? He’s finally realizing that he’s more than just a one-gender man. He’s spent his life with women because that’s what he’s been conditioned to do, but that doesn’t mean that’s all there is to his attraction. “I’m down bad for pretty people” vibe totally works here. He’s not some overly romantic guy, but you can tell that he has a certain soft spot for people who catch his eye, especially if they’re cute. The man’s weakness is absolutely for pretty people, especially blondes. Honestly, who could blame him? His past marriage and reluctance to open up makes sense for why he never fully explored his sexuality until now. He was stuck in a “one-gender” mentality, especially as a man who was conditioned by society and by his own experiences. But now, after his wife leaves him (and let’s face it, that was probably a wake-up call for him), Chilchuck has the space to realize that, you know what? He’s not just attracted to women, and it’s okay to embrace that.

so like what is poyopoyo

ik its a puzzle game but i didnt know it had characaters

sig looks silly i like him

glad you asked!

*AUTISM MODE ENGAGE*

puyo puyo (ぷよぷよ) is a japanese puzzle game originally created by compile (but they went bankrupt) and owned by sega!

the series originally started as a spinoff of a dungeon crawling game called madou monogatari (I know jack diddly squat about madou). in puyo puyo the main characters of that game (as well as a few enemies) fight each other using magic spells casted by connecting 4 or more of the same colored puyos together to pop them!

the compile era of the puyo puyo series stars Arle from the madou monogatari series as the protagonist, where in most games she attempts to stop satan (that's actually the villain's name) from doing a bunch of evil stuff. arle's also got a magical rabbit thing as a companion, his name is carbuncle and he likes curry :) other characters from this era that continue to show up in newer games are schezo, a dark mage who accidentally turns every sentence into an innuendo, and rulue, a fighting queen who has a crush on satan.

psst! 3 of the compile era games are available on switch! sega ages puyo puyo 1 and 2 are both ten bucks and if you have nso you can play the snes version of 2 on snes online!

both sega and nintendo tried to localize these games, but in doing so, they stripped the games of their original madou monogatari personality and replaced them with other games. sega localized pp1 as a game you might recognize as Doctor Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine, while nintendo made the slightly more obscure Kirby's Avalanche (ALSO AVAILABLE ON SNES NSO!!)

a BUNCH of stuff happened, the localized games didn't do well, puyo puyo became more popular than madou, and compile went bankrupt after years of shoving puyo puyo down everyone's throats non-stop

they then handed the rights to puyo puyo to sega, but completely forgot about the rights to madou, meaning madou monogatari is completely dead at this point with no hope of a reboot, and puyo puyo is still goin strong.

when sega got puyo puyo they decided to completely rebrand the game, and it ditched it's dark dungeon crawler aesthetic for a more fun colorful vibrant tone, and thus, Puyo Pop Fever was born.

Fever was a sort of reboot for the franchise, starring a new protagonist named Amitie, a very cheerful student who goes to a magic school, and a bunch of more awesome colorful characters (and arle she's still here)! A sequel to puyo pop fever was released in japan called Puyo Puyo Fever 2, but due to the poor sales in the US, the game never made it over to america and this would be the last localized puyo game. for at least 10 years.

also puyo puyo fever 2 introduced sig!!! the best boy!!! fun fact he's half demon but does not care about that at all and instead of doing all the traditional demon things like taking over worlds he simply don't care. he's got the bug autism and likes bugs very much :)

uhh MORE TIME SKIP! another reboot was created called Puyo Puyo 7! New protagonist named Ringo who is a regular middle school student and does regular japanese middle schooler stuff until Arle comes back and is possessed by something and is all like "you have the power. you can pop puyos now." and crazy highjinks ensue!

ANOTHER TIME SKIP!

puyo puyo 15th anniversary is released and surprise surprise it's also a reboot but this time it features (almost) ALL the important characters from the previous games! woo! and then 5 years after that 20th anniversary happened which was much better!

*WHWHOOOOSH TIME SKIP*

a crossover game between puyo puyo and tetris called Puyo Puyo Tetris was released in 2014! remember this!

*FINAL TIME SKIP I PROMISE*

oh hey remember what I just said? guess what! it's 2017 and sega is acknowledging for the first time people in america want puyo puyo! they then release a localized version of puyo puyo tetris onto nintendo switch and other platforms and it's a hit! people liked it! they liked it so much that in 2020 it got a direct sequel which wasn't just left to rot in the prison of region exclusivity and actually got localized as well! hooray for puyo puyo!!

that's basically the entire puyo puyo series history in a nutshell *autism disengage*

there were some games I left out because this was getting too long but who cares

if you're looking to play a puyo puyo game and you own a nintendo switch you can try any of these!

Sega ages - Puyo Puyo: The arcade version of the original Puyo Puyo game.

Sega Ages - Puyo Puyo 2: Arcade version of the second game (text is all in japanese, but it's purchasable on the american eshop!)

Nintendo Switch Online - SNES Online - Super Puyo Puyo 2: The SNES version of puyo puyo 2

Nintendo Switch Online - SNES Online - Kirby's Avalanche: An attempt for an english localization of pp1 featuring iconic kirby characters!

NSO Expansion Pack - Sega Genesis Online - Doctor Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine: Another localization attempt, featuring robots from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon! sonic does not make an appearance in this game.

Sonic Mania: One of the bosses in sonic mania has you playing Puyo Puyo against Eggman, and once you beat that boss you unlock a special mean bean machine side mode!

Puyo Puyo Champions: A puyo puyo game purely focused on competitive play, with no story. You can play using either normal puyo puyo rules, or the special ruleset introduced in fever.

Puyo Puyo Tetris: A crossover game between puyo puyo and tetris, featuring new characters based off the tetris blocks! Has a pretty ok story, the localizers took a few liberties here and there, sometimes they didn't understand the references to things and left them out.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2: A direct sequel to the game I just mentioned. Improves upon the story alot, all the previous characters return as well as 2 new characters! There were also a few characters added in later through free dlc! Currently the second newest puyo puyo game, and also the second most definitive with a bunch of cool sidemodes!

Currently, the newest game in the series is Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop, which is THE definitive puyo puyo game! unfortunately it's stuck on apple arcade so you need an iphone, a bluetooth controller, and a subscription for that if you wanna play. this game technically is incomplete as the story is being added in through updates, but what they've got now is really interesting!! they're finally doing something with the "sig is half demon" concept and now he's the villain of the game! so cool! god I want this game ported to consoles so badly... SEGAAAA GIVE ME EDGY SIG!!!

Unused Puyo Puyo 7 sprites in Art Collection

Oh hey. I made this post after I watched DaEgg123's Cut Content in Puyo Puyo games video, specifically in the part where they talked about Succubus' original design from the Compile games being planned for Puyo Puyo!! Quest in one point. In that part, he talked about the Puyo Puyo Art Collection book that was released in early 2021. What is interesting about this is that he only talked about the Succubus part, and there's one part of the book that I wanted to talk about.

So, in the Puyo Puyo 7 section of the book, they show all the sprites for all characters used in cutins, manzai cutscenes, and other things such as the UI. However, I found that two characters that have designs used in the book that didn't appear in 7, those characters being Dark Arle and Skeleton T. Let's begin with my favorite of the two.

Dark Arle has this sprite that is between her Bayoen cutin sprite and her official artwork for the game. This shows her in the pose from her manzai sprites, but with a glare expression on her face. As far as I can get, this sprite is not used in the final game, and Dark Arle only has two manzai sprites...

...However, in Puyo Puyo!! Quest, the idea of Dark Arle glaring was used in her 6 Star artwork for the game, and this glare expression was used on her sticker in the series' LINE stickers that was released around 2015-2017.

From now on, I had said everything about Dark Arle, so let's talk about Skeleton T.

Skeleton T has a variant of his normal manzai sprites, but this time, it shows him in an agressive expression. Like Dark Arle, Skeleton T only has one manzai sprite for the game, depending on the skeleton that he represents, which implies that this sprite was originally going to be used in the scenes where he is shown angry. Unlike Dark Arle, this idea was never used again.

(If you see the sprite above being bad quality, it's becuase I couldn't find the Google Drive link for the book, which had better quality.)

At the end, none of these sprites where actually used in the game itself, with one of them being reused in the future. If Puyo Puyo 7 gets a remaster/remake of some sort, it would be nice to see these sprites used in the game in this scenarios, alongside other unused content from the game. Heck, it would be nice if the potential remaster had the Museum from Puyo Puyo Fever 2, where it would show all the artwork for the game.

The Tarasque

Note: I'm an English learner and I wrote this text to practise my written English. If you want to give me a feedback about my English, please go ahead!

The Tarasque is a legendary creature from the French town of Tarascon, Bouches-du-Rhône. It was a half-dragon, half-fish beast that lived a long time ago in the Rhône, terrorising the locals, until St. Martha tamed it. This story is told by Jacobus de Voragine in The Golden Legend, a collection of stories about the lives of several saints.

These events take place during the 1st century A.D. Martha of Bethany was the sister of Mary and Lazarus. She devoted herself to serving Jesus Christ. After Jesus’ resurrection, she travelled on a boat with her brother and her sister. Although they lost the sails, the oars and the rudder, they managed to reach Marseille, in the South of France. Then, they travelled to the area between Arles and Avignon. This is where Martha heard about a half-dragon and half-fish creature. She was told that it was bigger than an ox or a horse, and its maw was full of enormous teeth. People said it was the descendant of a sea monster and it came from the Galatia sea. This creature attacked travellers and sank boats sailing on the river. Martha decided that she had to help the local population. She went on the bank of the Rhône and met the ferocious beast. She poured holy water on it and brandished a cross. Thus, the monster became gentle and docile. Martha fastened it with her belt and took it to the villagers. The latter attacked it and killed it to finally make it pay after all these years of terror.

Martha stayed in the village and devoted her life to prayer and fasting. She was considered a saint and in the XVth century the Sainte-Marthe Church was built in Tarascon.

During the same century, king René invented les Fêtes de la Tarasque, a festival to celebrate Saint Martha and the beast. He also founded l'Ordre des Chevaliers de la Tarasque (the Order of the Knights of the Tarasque) of which members are called Tarascaïres. Les Fêtes de la Tarasque are still celebrated today, every year in June, and are inspired by the legend. Numerous shows are organised, including the running of the Tarasque, during which the Tarascaïres carry around a reproduction of the beast, teasing and scaring the public. The creature is green and red, with a tail and a shell covered with thorns on its back. This event is also an occasion to celebrate more aspects of the local culture. Thus, one can see people dressed in traditional clothing during the parade, or participate in activities about Alphonse Daudet's character, Tartarin of Tarascon. These few days have a religious importance too, as the local Christian community also celebrates St. Martha. The cleric, for instance, blesses the Tarasque at the opening of the event.

Some think the Tarasque could represent the river overflowing and destroying everything around. Or they see in this legend the victory of Christianity over Gaulish beliefs: the Tarasque personifies the pagan cult, "defeated" by St. Martha after she spreaded Christianity. After all, it seems that one of the reasons for her journey was to convert new believers.

In conclusion, I would like to draw attention to the Tarasque's likeness to the Drac of Beaucaire. Beaucaire is on the opposite side of the Rhône, and the similarity between Tarascon’s and Beaucaire’s creatures is probably not a coincidence, in my opinion.

Also, I found some Christian website that has, apparently, the full version of The Golden Legend.

Here is the list of all the Saints’ stories.

And here, St. Martha's story.

Bangkok Beyond Kitsch | 20240801-04

May 2017. That was the last time I travelled alone. Has it really been seven years? Through the bus terminal-like part of SYD that I never knew existed, and after some delays, I was finally onboard QF295, the Finnair dry-lease that I wasn't expecting (but it's nice to actually see what you had worked on), and the feeling that took over me wasn't exactly an excitement, but rather a sense of familiarity - just like riding a bicycle after many years, I felt like I was right back in my element.

Despite being in the middle of the wet season, BKK was impressively busy. With the very best smile on for the immigration, I was on the ARL in less than an hour. The view outside was expectedly lush with green and watery landscape, as this megacity of 17 million people occupies the Chao Phraya River delta.

I wanted to make the most of my three days in Bangkok, and do what I most enjoy while travelling - talking to local people. With hopes of meeting the everyday Bangkokian, I opted to join a Meetup socialising event. I generally avoid these things like a plague, but time was of the essence, and honestly it's been so long that I had forgotten what they are like. The Meetup did not disappoint, and was full of 'expats' and a few locals who were largely looking to hook up. I did manage to get a little glimpse of what life is like here and what their interests are, but one consistent topic was 'money'. There seems to be an insatiable appetite for either making a lot of money or meeting someone with a lot of money. With some interesting and mostly dull conversation behind, I headed to my hostel in the very residential but centrally located Sam Yot and went to bed hoping for more quality interactions for the rest of my time in the city.

I predictably woke up too early the next morning, and started walking towards the palace for a pre-booked tour. I came across a queue in front of this mobile cafe, asked for what everyone else was having. The espresso was poured into iced soda with lemon and honey, and it was a perfect drink in this muggy morning. Coffee seems to be THE drink in Bangkok, and I saw many good cafes around the city. Of all the great food and drinks I will have in Bangkok in the next three days, I will keep thinking about this refreshing brew.

Food stalls open in early mornings to lure commuters looking for a quick breakfast. The fried chilli permeated the air and I had to work hard to not sneeze on all the lovely food on display.

The Grand Palace, despite being too hectic with selfie sticks for my liking, was gorgeous indeed. It blended the traditional Thai architecture with 19th-century European styles as well as Buddist motifs.

I carefully asked the guide, a soft-spoken gentleman, about Thai people's sentiment towards the revered monarch. I had noticed the portraits of the king displayed all over the city. I knew about the severe punishment against any criticism towards the king. And I also knew the current Maha Vajiralongkorn drew a lot of controversies in his private life. The guide mentioned that the once deeply-rooted love for the monarch is dissipating with the younger generation. I sensed almost a dictatorship-like control by the fear of speaking out against the king.

I also met a friendly Italian couple who are primary school teachers in Rome. We lunched and walked around for a few hours after the palace tour ended. We talked about Thailand, travel, the world in crisis and the immigrant kids they were teaching in a rough neighbourhood. It's been many years since I spoke to fellow backpackers and it was a delight.

The famous 46 meter long Reclining Buddha of Wat Pho

Of the countless small and large Buddhist temples around Bangkok, there always seem to be Thais and monks in prayer. They seem to be some of the most religious, if not spiritual, people that I have ever come across.

A group of Western family listening to their local guide

I enjoyed seeing these wooden houses along many canals running across the city.

This was the first time I spectated combat sports. Rajadamnern stadium had a very modern setup completed with large screens and pop music, and it was definitely geared towards overseas tourists. It was still good to see some ceremonial aspects of Muay Thai performed by the fighters, and there were some exciting moments there including a couple of TKOs.

The Buddhist monks would walk around in the morning and the people would donate food. I have a vague memory of the similar practice by Korean buddhist monks from my childhood. Apparently it's a thing that some of the 'corrupted' monks would break the rule and stand in one spot to ask for donations, and the 'monk police' would patrol the known areas to apprehend and punish the naughty monks.

To make up for the first night's failed attempt of a community engagement, I joined a cooking class. The instructor was energetic and delightful. I had a great time cooking some classic Thai dishes which turned out ok.

The class was a mix of solo travellers and mums with kids. I chatted with an Italian lady with a young boy. She was happily divorced and tried to travel with her son as much as possible to get him to experience the larger world.

Presentation 1/5 Taste 5/5

After some interesting conversations about food with the instructor, she asked 'so, do you cook at home?' which I answered with a big 'nope' and we just laughed. It was good to learn some of the core ingredients of Thai cuisine and their basic approach to cooking. One small surprise for me was that there seems to be a lot more Chinese influence than I realised.

A gift from the Portugese embassy! It was a pleasant surprise to see the azulejo again only a few months after my visit to Lisbon.

A typical juxtaposition of skyscrappers and traditional residences along Chao Phraya River

This is NOT a floating market. It's the food court of the popular ICONSIAM shopping centre. Shopping centres are typically popular in many Asian cities, but it feels even more so in Bangkok. I came for the kitsch and stayed for the air-conditioning.

I also managed to see the famous KSR. It was pretty much what I expected - getting menus shoved at my face and almost being dragged into bars/clubs. I didn't mind the kind of sillyness and farce, but there were a few too many sunburnt tourists in Singha singlets and thongs, and I promptly made my exit.

I headed to Chinatown where the hippest bars of the town are located, and had some excellent cocktails at TEP BAR while listening to the traditional Thai music performed by young musicians.

I enjoyed the outstanding cocktails from friendly bartenders. As I was leaving the bar, a heavy thunderstorm flooded the street and it became impossible to book a Grab. The $2 poncho I had bought from 7/11 came handy and just managed to keep me dry. The metro station was packed with people waiting for the rain to pass. It was the time to call it a night.

On the third and last morning, I visited Wat Arun ("Temple of Dawn") which I had seen from a ferry ride the day before. Bangkok isn't exactly full of outstanding architecture, but this temple was absolutely stunning.

I arrived just as the temple opened for visitors, and I got to enjoy the serenity of the place for a little while before the tour groups started pouring in.

After checking out of the hostel, I decided to make Chatuchak Weekend Market my last stop before getting to the airport. The market was mostly for bootlegs, cheap souvenirs and food stalls, but there was one alley with shops selling hip/retro goods.

As I was eagerly waiting for my last meal of the trip, the flight load that I was on standby suddenly vanished. In panic mode, I just got up and ran straight for the airport, and by the time I got there, the load came back to normal. It must've been a temporary system glitch. I felt a little disappointed that my last hours were rushed, and missed the chance to savour the last bit of the country that I started to grow fond of.

I came to Bangkok on a whim, without being sure of what to expect. While the stereotypes of maddening metropolis and tacky places like KSR were real, what touched me was the tenderness of the people and culture I got to see during my short visit. It made an impression on me like no other SE Asian countries that I visited did, and I genuinely look forward to exploring more of Thailand in future.

Mobile Churches is about dictatorial fantasies that became urban realities, it is a critical inventory aiming at revealing a lesser-known yet dramatic urban and political chapter in Bucharest of the 1980s. Ceaușescu’s ‘systematization’ program is in full swing in the Romanian capital: one-third of the historic center – including churches and synagogues – has been wiped out to make way for imposing buildings and wide avenues intended to honor the regime. It is said to be the largest peacetime destruction in Europe. Despite Ceaușescu’s particularly dogged approach towards sacral buildings, seven churches are spared and undergo a process as incredible as it is absurd: they are lifted and placed on rails, then moved and hidden behind housing blocks, while several other buildings - such as the Polish Synagogue - got hermetically surrounded and thus masked by propagandistic panel buildings. Withdrawn from the cityscape, interpolated in the disparate architecture that shapes Bucharest’s urban landscape today, they live secret lives, holding unresolved memories of the past.

The photo book Mobile Churches, edited by Sonia Voss and published in 2017 by Kehrer Verlag, Heidelberg, is the first part of my Romania trilogy. Two essays, Mobile Churches. The non-sense of history by Sonia Voss, and City on Rails by Lotte Laub accompany the photo series.

The dummy of the photo book was nominated for the LUMA Dummy Book Award at Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles and later at Unseen Amsterdam. It is now part of the Archive of Les Rencontres de la Photographie d'Arles. The resulting photo book was launched at Paris Photo and later shortlisted for the FOLA Photo Book Award in Buenos Aires.

MIRA ASRININGTYAS & DITO YUWONO

Lundi 29 janvier 2024 à 19h (heure de Paris)

Monday January 29th 2024, 7pm (Paris time)

@ MSH, 16 – 18 RUE SUGER, 75006 (métro Odéon ou St – Michel)

Mira Asriningtyas est curatrice et autrice, Dito Yuwono artiste et curateur. Ensemble ils forment depuis 2011 le collectif curatorial LIR, basé à Yogyakarta—un collectif en perpétuel remaniement au fil de sa réflexion sur la responsabilité curatoriale et dont l’activité se déploie dans toute l’Asie du Sud-Est, aux USA et en Europe. “Curated by LIR”, une suite d’expositions, proposées à Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Kaliurang, New York et Tapei entre 2018 et 2023, retrace ce parcours curatorial que jalonnent "Crossing Ecotones - Mountains Seen; No Mountain Being", "Rhinolophus Sinicus", "Worship to Power » ou "Dream Express: Personalized History of Mysticism"

“Of Hunters and Gatherers“, un projet au long cours associe, à l'occasion d’une exposition, de colloques et d’un site web dédié, plusieurs institutions artistiques du sud-est asiatique situées à Chiang Mai (Thailande), Bandung (Indonésie), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam). Le projet s’est constitué à partir d’une marche du collectif avec deux artistes invité·e·s au pied du mont Merapi, et sur les routes qui longent le bas Mekong, à la frontière de la Thailande et du Laos.

Mais chacun·e a développé une pratique personnelle. Mira, qui a terminé en 2017 (au De Appel Art Center à Amsterdam) un projet de recherche sur les modalités décoloniales et polycentriques des apprentissages et de la connaissance, a été la commissaire de nombreuses expositions et de plusieurs programmes de séminaires et colloques au De Appel Art Center (Amsterdam); Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam); Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin); KKF (Yogyakarta); ISCP (New York); MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum (Chiang Mai); Our Museum (Taipei) entre autres. Elle a publié de nombreux articles et essais dans des revues, catalogues, magazines internationaux comme PARSE Journal ou comme Stedelijk Studies. En 2017 Mira a lancé le projet “900mdpl“ à Kaliurang, un village situé au pied du Mont Merapi qui aborde dans toute leur complexité les enjeux post-coloniaux, environnementaux, politiques et mémoriels que la fragilité sismique de la région et les éruptions de ce volcan très actif viennent dévoiler sur un mode spectaculaire et dans l’urgence. Dito travaille les mêmes thèmes dans son œuvre d’artiste qui donne une attention prioritaire à la mémoire collective, à l’inscription des vies singulières dans l’histoire, à l’urgence environnementale —une attention toujours ancrée dans des pratiques site -specific. Il a été l’invité de The Northern Centre for Contemporary Art (NCCA) Darwin (Australie), Ruangrupa (Jakarta); Jatiwangi Art Factory (Indonesie); GOLEB & Het Wilde Weten (Pays-Bas); TIFA Working Studios (Inde); et Collectif BONUS (Nantes). Son travail a été exposé dans de nombreux centres d’art aux États-Unis (Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art), en Europe (Festival de la Photo, Arles, 2017), en Indonésie… Il est depuis 2020 le co-directeur de Ruang MES56 et a été le commissaire du premier Festival International de Photographie à  Jogja en 2023, “Mengukur Panjang dan Lebar Sebuah Bingkai” (A Strategy to Measure a Frame).

En 2024 Mira et Dito ont été nommé·e·s directeu·rice·s du CEMETI- Institut for Art and Society.

Mira Asriningtyas is a curator and author, Dito Yuwono an artist and curator. Together they have formed the Yogyakarta-based curatorial collective LIR since 2011, a collective that is constantly reshaping itself as they reflect on curatorial responsibility, and whose activity extends throughout Southeast Asia, the USA and Europe. "Curated by LIR", a series of exhibitions proposed in Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Kaliurang, New York and Tapei between 2018 and 2023, retraces this curatorial journey that includes "Crossing Ecotones - Mountains Seen; No Mountain Being", "Rhinolophus Sinicus", "Worship to Power" and "Dream Express: Personalized History of Mysticism".

"Of Hunters and Gatherers" is a long-term project that brings together several Southeast Asian art institutions in Chiang Mai (Thailand), Bandung (Indonesia) and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) for an exhibition, colloquia and a dedicated website. The project grew out of a walk by the collective and two guest artists at the foot of Mount Merapi, and on the roads along the lower Mekong, on the border between Thailand and Laos.

But each has developed a personal practice. Mira, who completed a research project on decolonial and polycentric modalities of learning and knowledge at the De Appel Art Center in Amsterdam in 2017, has curated numerous exhibitions and several seminar and symposium programs at the De Appel Art Center (Amsterdam); Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam); Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin); KKF (Yogyakarta); ISCP (New York); MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum (Chiang Mai); Our Museum (Taipei) among others. She has published numerous articles and essays in international journals, catalogs and magazines such as PARSE Journal and Stedelijk Studies. In 2017 Mira launched the "900mdpl" project in Kaliurang, a village at the foot of Mount Merapi, which addresses in all their complexity the post-colonial, environmental, political and memorial issues that the region's seismic fragility and the eruptions of this highly active volcano come to reveal in a spectacular mode and in a hurry. Dito works on the same themes in his work as an artist who gives priority attention to collective memory, the inscription of singular lives in history, and environmental urgency, always anchored in site-specific practices. He has been invited by The Northern Centre for Contemporary Art (NCCA) Darwin (Australia), Ruangrupa (Jakarta); Jatiwangi Art Factory (Indonesia); GOLEB & Het Wilde Weten (Netherlands); TIFA Working Studios (India); and Collectif BONUS (Nantes). His work has been exhibited in numerous art centers in the United States (Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art) in Europe (Festival de la Photo, Arles, 2017), in Indonesia... Since 2020 he has been the co-director of Ruang MES56 and curated the first International Photography Festival in Jogja in 2023, "Mengukur Panjang dan Lebar Sebuah Bingkai" (A Strategy to Measure a Frame).

In 2024 Mira and Dito were appointed directors of CEMETI- Institut for Art and Society.

I know nothing about your oc so Tell

Heads up that this post will include some spoilers for The Darkest Night and my original fiction work Innocentia.

OKAY SO first things first, the main differences between Augustin, Servais and Gabriël.

Augustin is who started it all, he was my Les Mis OC back in my early days (2017), he was born in Arles in the 1770's, and he quickly turned into a whole separate story. I hardly write about him anymore, but since he started this I thought he was worth mentioning, but I won't explain him any further since it's not really of any use.

Then he slowly evolved into Gabriël, who was born in 's-Hertogenraede in the early 1700's. The Bokkenrijders (18th century "satanic/Robin Hood-esque goat gang", though probably most of the hundreds executed were innocent) are very important in this story.

Then enter the return of my Les Mis era and enter Servais with it, a mix between Augustin and Gabriël. He has the history in Toulon which Augustin has, but the origins of Gabriël.

So, who are they?

There's obviously a lot of things they have in common. Personality-wise, they're all quite similar; they're all autistic with a love for plants and an artist, despite their physical disabilities (they all lost their right arm and an eye), which are also quite similar across all versions; they're all heavily scarred by an incident with fire at some point (Augustin and Servais while being branded in Toulon, Gabriël in a house fire – Augustin and Servais have their arm heal against their chest, Gabriël had it amputated). This incident leaves them very conscious of their appearance, especially since the "others" chase them away because of it. This actually plays a massive role in how Gabriël got his name (hint: he wasn't born with that name).

Then on to their different stories.

Servais' parents fled to Montreuil-sur-Mer in 1771, taking Servais and his brother with them, when the Bokkenrijders trials were just starting again, and Servais' father was accused of being part of that gang. Shortly after Servais' 18th birthday in 1788 he gets accused of attempted murder and sentenced to life in Toulon because of some minor uncertainties. In 1815 he attempts suicide, losing most of his memories that way. His brother, who became a guard at Toulon, advises him to go back to Montreuil-sur-Mer, where The Darkest Night starts – he meets M. Madeleine and slowly befriends him.

Gabriël, more commonly known as the Devil of 's-Hertogenraede, does not have the safety which Servais finds at Madeleine's for most of the story. He lives in the old house of his late mother, somewhere in the woods. The town is convinced he set fire to the home of Jacob Mans, killing nearly the whole family with it. Elisabeth, Jacob's daughter, sets out to kill him, but befriends Gabriël instead. This is the start of a long process of healing, failing, and healing again.

I could ramble about Gabriël specifically for HOURS because he's my longest running character, but yeah, if there's anything you'd like to know more about just let me know, either in ask box or dm!
