Escape plan

The plan turned out to be a failure. But I got away with only minor injuries. Thumbs up and the gladiators of The Institute will be back.
Ulf Fågelhammar

Old tree

Like an old tree, with roots absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. With photosynthetic leaves and branches - yes, it would be nice to be like an old tree in the era of The Institute. When lightning strikes.

scattered letters

The Institute likes to play word games with the citizens. This one is called "was babbelscht du"?

The Magic Theatre

And this wonderful girl--if only I had known her name! All of a sudden there was a human being, a living human being, to shatter the death that had come down over me like a glass case, and to put out a hand to me, a good and beautiful and warm hand. / Herman Hesse

Summer solstice...

...and winter solstice on the southern hemisphere. People look to the sky (or to the ground) for answers. But little is revealed about the faint blue spot cruising the universe.

Perfection doesn't have limits

“Heaven is not a place, and it is not a time. Heaven is being perfect. And that isn't flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesn't have limits. Perfect speed is being there.” / Richard Bach

The Gambler

“I wanted to fathom her secrets; I wanted her to come to me and say: "I love you," and if not that, if that was senseless insanity, then...well, what was there to care about? Did I know what I wanted? I was like one demented: all I wanted was to be near her, in the halo of her glory, in her radiance, always, for ever, all my life. I knew nothing more!” 
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Gambler

JKPG

JKPG/Jönköping

"Groves and hills and roofs, and the spires of Jönköping City, which shimmered along Vettern's shores, lay enveloped in pale blue that caressed the eye. If there were countries in heaven, they, too, must be blue like this, thought the boy, believing that he had got a faint idea of how it must look in Paradise." (From Nils Holgersson's wonderful journey across Sweden)
Johan Larsson

The Lighting

"Give us some light on the stage, electrician. How can we
Playwrights and actors put forward
Our images of the world in half darkness?"
- Bertolt Brecht

vanishing point

"The point, when we decide, to join, the anonymous crowd, giving up on our dreams... is the vanishing point. "
Ksenija Spanec

Make goals not wars

The Institute forced me to identify myself as a team and a nation. I refused. I'm a cosmopolite, nationalism doesn't grow on my ground.

the greatest sculptor

"The sea is the greatest sculptor
The sea is the greatest jeweller
The sea and death
There is no stone so jagged
the sea won’t rub it smooth
or grind it to sand
or finer"
Gunnar Ekelöf, 1965
Jan Bernhardtz
