Description
A(nother) HOUSE FOR CITIZEN KANERosebud… Rosebud…
Who knows what Rosebud meant / means…!?
Maybe it is / it was the loss of innocence…
That innocence the child has, and later one, vanishes…
What do all the vanities of the world mean in the last moment of life?...
TO “WIN,” TO “WIN,” TO “WIN”… “POWER,” “POWER,” “POWER…”
Just as then, so it is now…
Certain people want to “win,” “win,” “win…”
Forgetting ROSEBUD… ROSEBUD…
And dust will return to dust…
What is true, what is false?...
Maybe money is all that matters… and gold… and “power,” “power,” “power…”
And VANITY, VANITY, VANITY…
Who cares about empathy…?
NO TRESPASSING!
NO TRESPASSING!
This is what the “strong” one says. To “protect” himself.
NO TRESPASSING.
Fear of contamination.
Fear of being “invaded.”
Fear of “impurity.”
The paraphernalia of protection… to keep ourselves “clean,” to keep our riches “safe,” to proclaim once and for all THE PARADISE – HERE AND NOW, but obviously, not for everybody!
Just for a few… the chosen ones.
NOT FOR THAT IDIOTIC HALF THE POPULATION OF THE GLOBE, “LIVING” UNDER THE POVERTY LINE.
LET’S BUILD OUR SEPARATING WALLS HIGHER AND HIGHER, TO PROTECT OURSELVES, SO NOT EVEN THANATOS MIGHT CLIMB OVER THEM.
LET’S PROCLAIM THE HUMAN POWER OF ALL THE CITIZEN KANE OF THIS WORLD, HIGHER AND HIGHER THE WALLS, THICKER AND THICKER.
Design A HOUSE FOR CITIZEN KANE.
A(nother) HOUSE FOR CITIZEN KANE.
A truer one. One that does not neglect ROSEBUD… ROSEBUD…
Please send us your work by May 1st, 2017. If you want, you could place this house in front of the White House, in Washington, or in front of the Government Building in Bucharest. It is up to you.
