Notes

Dualities, Alter egos, Doppelgangers – Panchen Lamas, Diagonal Street, Ishmael and Isaac. Two creates a movement lacking in one.

Self Portraits – a birthday update, and a test – can I accept what I’ve done on the day, with no changes…

Exile can be a state of mind, or a way of life. A group of vagrants inhabited part of the pavement on a busy street in Cape Town; their belongings marked the boundaries and isolated them like people on a boat.
