FLORIAN GERBAUD / FUGITIVE TALES
THE LOST THEORY
- EVERYTHING WAS AS QUIET AS YOUR THOUGHTS FLOATING IN A SILENT SPHERE / SOMEONE WAS PULLING A THREAD, THE SAME THREAD, HELD BETWEEN YOUR FINGERS / I REMEMBER THE LIGHTNING PATH / WHEN SOLITUDE WAS THE EXACT GEOMETRY
BATS AND SWALLOWS
- AT THE MOMENT WHEN BAT MEETS THE SWALLOW, AT THIS VERY MOMENT NIGHT CROSSES THE DAY
SHADOWS
- SHADOW ADVANCES & STARTS RUNNING, IT IS A VISIBLE SPACE OF A TRAJECTORY THAT WE CALL THE EXISTENCE, THAT SPACE IN BETWEEN THE BEFORE & THE AFTER
NIEMAND
- HER CHEEKS SCRATCHED, PALE & POSSESSED, SHE RUNS. DISORDER OF GESTURES, MULTIPLIED & SAVAGE, UNTIL THE EXHAUSTION
IN THE DARK FOREST
- UNDER SOLITARY & SILENT ATTRACTION OF SIGNS, AS PRESENT & AS ELUSIVE AS LIGHT, THEY DONT SAY ANYTHING
HIDDEN
- HIDDEN BY ECLIPSE OF A MIRROR IN THE FOREST, BY THE FORREST OF MIRRORS, SO THAT FINALLY THE CONSEQUENCE MAY ABOLISH THE CAUSE
FALLING
- AMONG OTHER FORMS OF ELEVATION

Dear Florian and monica,
this is a fantastic work of art and like walking in through the back of the wardrobe into narnia …oh how exciting the whole visual experience is .I would love to be involved in this story ,though I can see that it seems to be by invitation only ?, I think that you would understand my work ,I would be happy for you to see it on my blog ,if you,d like its at janeosullivan.blogspot.com.
For my thesis ,part of my fine art degee (which I am nearly finished) I explored the space I see exsisting between reality and the imagination . The poet Rilke informed my sentiments …..the innerworld outside..that is his word for what I am trying to get near to , I believe that may be your trail too .xxx
Super good luck with it , I am looking forward to spending time really looking at your projects in detail,(maybe by torchlight under the bedclothes !) there is such an air of the otherworld about it , greetings to you
Jane x
