Artist's Comments

Taken last Wednesday, I think.
Believe it or not, this was taken in a hotel's basement.
Edits: softened that hair strand, desaturated, deleted the wall's imperfections.

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun


(song originally written by Alan Lomax, covered by lots of bands, including The Rolling Stones, Pink floyd, Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, Courtney Love, Muse, Bob Dylan, The Animals, The Moody Blues, Tracy Chapman...)

I absolutely adore the song. Every single lyric of it. Every single version but specially The Moody Blues' one. There's something about it that somehow cheers me up and brings me down when I listen to it. I think the "house of the rising sun" is an euphemism for the concept of illusion, sin, terror, passion...
I believe we all live somewhere inside that house.

It's funny how the colours of the real world, only seem really real, when you viddy them on a screen.

With my sword...
those victim to it...
...in this age of possible peace...
i will...
proceed to heaven.
