TONDO

One time my twin sister came to me, I was looking at her from my mirror world, she said she wanted to do a book of Tondos, a flipbook, masturbating in front of the mirror and painting the act and let the viewer animate it, I said yes. Is it I inside the mirror, or is it my sisters mirror image? The scale of the mirror that is used and the scale of the paintings are the same.

- JOHAN HJERPE sensibility, you are one of my
earthly parents, do you want to do a book about
my sister’s Tondo series? Taking form in the real world but fog.
- JOTA CASTRO presence, you are the art consciousness
and you are one of my sisters best friends do you want to write a text?
- AMY SMITH-STEWART, mind, you are my sisters
mirror image in the real world, do you want to write a text?

I asked the three knights to support the book
ANDREAS BRÄNDSTRÖM velvet
SHUGO SATANI pearl
AMY SMITH-STEWART gold
