Finding Jack [2 giant posters!]


selfportrait
...some months ago a friend of mine asked me for doing an anti-performance for his birthday. i really can not dance, but why not? i did it....some weeks ago i was set up because of some news and wrote a short text and wanted to share it with more people, yeah why could i not have introduced it via a rap song on the stage or via a trash punk video? ....some days ago when i was sick, there came somebody into our kitchen and said me > i can heal you this afternoon< she is acupuncture therapist and yeah why could i not have done an interview with her during the treatment, as like in a talk show? ..and some hours ago my flatemate asked me >can you come with me? we should play in an antifa short film...< i played the role of a racist..there will be the premiere next monday in the nauny ballhaus... That's the way Jack Malanders was born from me...from my not-really-known performer side..... i took these 2 photos yesterday for Jack's fans... it could be just a joke and someone can ask why? instead of why not....but meanwhile...i realised that music and performing how can help someone during harder times. if i learn/hear music or dance, i feel myself as like a child...can stop with thinking too much and with forgetting...life is a neverending forgetting. yeah can stop with forgetting by drawing too...you will be falling in love with the small stone or the old shoes what you are drawing...talking with people can be the same, if you really listen to them! yeah and walking on the streets or in the wood...can be the same peace...yeah creating and love.. and noone can hurt the deepest part of your soul. never let it happen!

Lyrics:
[LAjhi: Freedom]

one person's freedom ends where another's begins
people like quote this text but just a few one knows the origin
yeah
there is something similar in the declaration of human rights
this is lovely but i reallyreally can't agree. why?
because i do interfere with the "freedom" of racists, homophobes, sexists, and all those faces who want to dominate
i don't give a shit about their freedoms protected by fortresses 4 meters high

who can say where the lies you can hear as news
interfere with your freedom to know the truth?
where's this unknown freedom when a small child doesn't know
it's not okay for mommy or daddy or both to beat or molest him or her at night?

how do the oppressed know that what's being done to them
is not the way things should be?

where's the boundary not defined by the money-man or personal interests?

is it within a person or outside of us?

could there be a way for the power to be in the hands
of people like the wonderful Julian Bond, Rosa Parks, Dalai Lama or Olaf Palme?

this freedom is in you and
everyone's freedom is in you.

so listen up my friend

this freedom is in you
your freedom is in you
her freedom is in you
his freedom is in you
their freedom is in you
this freedom is the only one
this freedom is all
what we can find.
