Iman Maleki, "Dizziness" (2003?)
you wrote it out in chapter and verse, line by line.
i read between the lines. i can see what you are not saying. you wish to speak with certainty, but i make you doubt, make your hand tremble. you wish to speak rationally, logically, and you hate me for filling you with passion, for finding the emotion of your words. i relativize your objectivity; i pull the ground out from under your speech. your words float about the page. i am too close? mine is a real body, and i will break through all the words you use to contain me. the page will burst from the strain. i am the interruption and i am here to stay.

Ya Haqq!
I WANT THAT PICTURE.
Oh my gosh, I want it on my wall. Huge.
That's me! (Well, other than the beard and stuff.)
Or are the newspapers flying because something just burned? If so, that's sad. But I see the picture and think of someone who loves to read but overwhelmed by too much reading material, too little time.
maleki is a very strong artist and getting better all the time.
