This body of work is a contemplation of human beings' passage on earth
and their intimate interrelation with the environment. This book
attempts to bring humour to the things we are getting attached to. It
points at the invisible within the visible, the immaterial within the
material or the vertical nature of being (and its mirror-like quality)
within our horizontal way of living (where our mind, time, and space
condition our experiences). The naked body is seen as our primary
indivisible unit of perception which is usually pushed and pulled by our
thinking mind's desire to either get less or more. In other words, our
lives are coloured by our minds and since body-mind is a single entity,
most of the colours painted on the body are an allusion to the range of
our changing desires from being invisible or transparent to wanting to
be singular and the centre of attention. The book's Interviews (the
interviewers are from Russia, Colombia, Korea, Germany, and the US)
stanzas, and photographs are not seen as being subservient to one
another but can be seen as an assemblage of three independent directions
that may or may not intersect following each reader.
Jean-Paul Bourdier has taught in many US Universities,
in Senegal and Italy; author of eight books; he collaborated with Trinh
Minh-ha on a number of installations and eight feature-length films. He
is co-founder and co-editor of Traditional Dwellings and Settlements Review. He is Emeritus Professor of Architecture, Photography and Visual Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.
