Berlin, John Holten

We speak to you in one language and to you in another, we do not wish to give ourselves away or limit ourselves, we are open and ready to confuse because we are not at home, because yes we are homeless, because we do not know each other, because we contain multitudes and our hatreds define us more than our loves. We are three, maybe four people and do not stop to think that you know any one of us better then another, or that even your slight acquaintance with one of us blocks out the others, we are unknowable in our infinities like the sounds of an orchestra going out of tune or brave men dying slowly in fear. We have no voice, we have no accent, we come from nowhere and have no centre, we are unknowable and shapeshifting with one face for you and one for anyother because we wish to please ourselves by deceit and falsehood and the changing of our failing identity. We pass the nights in fire with each other like dancers gone wild to the music of their ancestors enhanced through th...

A church for those who pray to no Lord

How should a basilikè (Greek for "church") for the people who do not submit themselves, their souls or their lives to no Lord look like? A basilikè for those who don't believe in any God, or for those who don't care if there is a God, or for those who think that there may be a God, but don't plan to submit to him/her (or Him/Her)...

Should they teach something? What? How? Should they be financed by the State, like any other basilikè? * I prefer basilikè to "church", because the first had no religious meaning at its origin (it meant "royal room")

Let me be your prophet

--> What we live today is the fast degradation of both natural and human-built environment. Human race reached a point in which, we all seem to agree, it can destroy its own habitat and thus commit suicide. And it seems quite inclined to do so. If we look back at the history of humankind, we realize that “humanity” is an over-rated notion: we humans have always suffered from the illusion that our race is the one which gives meaning to the word “life”. We learn at school how man tamed the other animals and the natural forces, how he is capable to rearrange the biophysical landscape for his own needs and survival, or how he deciphers the mysteries of the universe. We conquer the Space and we publish “Time”. The history of politics has been maybe the best environment for this illusion: at the beginning there were the kings and priests. They and only they among all humans (and among, of course, all beings) represented gods, the ultimate principles of life on Earth and in the...
