Grey Scale

Escala de grises

Hippo, rhino, elephant skin.  

Penguins' chick plumage. 

Raccoons fur. Hedgehogs. Pidgeon feathers 

Lance, my roommate’s cat 

Two rats having a snack that I witnessed from a terrace in Amsterdam South 

 

Lightness 

Nostalgia 

Dejection 

Melancholy 

Apathy  

Uncertainty 

 

The lungs of a smoker. 

The Dutch sky 

A paper straw getting dissolved into a soda drink while your favourite celebrity takes the plane to do groceries 

Dams and pound locks 

The stains of insect corpses that crash against the bumper on long trips 

The little oxygen that can be breathed inside of the tiny cages that transport animals to the death 

Greenwashing 

That to build a renewable energy park half of the mountain is loaded 

 

Gerhart Richter 

Santiago Sierra’s performances 

Pope L digesting with milk The Wall Street Journal 

Falling asleep in an Angélica Liddell theatre play 

Hyper obscure language used by art institutions 

Mark Fisher and his Capitalist Realism. Is there no alternative? 

Mondays under the sun 

 

The news TV programs 

The reflection of a turned off television 

The endless amount of entertainment content that I will never consume 

The stale atmosphere of a crowded shopping mall 

Newspapers and journals  

Facing life as if it would be a role-playing video game 

Blockbusters inspired in blockbusters that reference other blockbusters 

Pop Culture
