Imagining a Different World / Imaginer un monde différent (1)
RETURNING FROM PONT BORN
I cannot help but
turning the world
upside down,
the way I like to see things
LE CHEMIN DU RETOUR DE PONT BORN
Je ne peux m'empêcher
de tourner le monde
à l'envers,
comme j'aime à le voir
LE CHEMIN DU RETOUR DE PONT BORN
Je ne peux m'empêcher
de tourner le monde
à l'envers,

Inventing Peace - a dialogue on perception between Wim Wenders and Mary Zournazi
Shortly after I posted this photograph accompanied by a few words, I had a look at the blog of photographer Harvey Benge. In his last post he talked about the book Inventing Peace - a dialogue on perception between Wim Wenders and Mary Zournazi. Wenders and Zournazi's idea of imagining a world that is different, but one that is surrounding us already, struck me, as this is what I so often seem to do, in fact, almost continuously.
Here are some lines about the book from the publisher : "Inventing Peace revolves around the question of how we look at the world, but do not see it when there is so much war, injustice, suffering and violence. What are the ethical and moral consequences of looking, but not seeing, and, most of all, what has become of the notion of peace in all this? In the form of a written dialogue, Wim Wenders and Mary Zournazi consider this question as one of the fundamental issues of our times as well as the need to reinvent a visual and moral language for peace. Inspired by various cinematic, philosophical, literary and artistic examples, Wenders and Zournazi reflect on the need for a change of perception in the everyday as well as in the creation of images. In its unique style and method, Inventing Peace demonstrates an approach to peace through sacred, ethical and spiritual means, to provide an alternative to the inhumanity of war and violence. Their book might help to make peace visible and tangible in new and unforeseen ways."
It seems that this book is a "must read"...
