"Jerusalem_Ghost" Exhibition
New Exhibition at The New Gallery - Opening 17.7.08

Everyone knows that Jerusalem is a unique city. It's charged nature - historical, religious, political - is evident not merely in the dramatic urban landscape - mosques, steeples and walls - but above all, in its human vistas.

The NAUSEA

I live alone, entirely alone. I never speak to anyone, never; I receive nothing, I give nothing… When you live alone you no longer know what it is to tell something: the plausible disappears at the same time as the fiends.
