LES RENCONTRES INTERNATIONALES DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE D’ARLES 2007

Projections of photographic series, at the international photography festival in Arles, France, July 2007.
Series by JM Babonneau aka. Better_World_Inc.
and by Chin-Chin Wu aka. Post-Modern China Doll.

We made this video with my coolpix camera and Better World Inc. did the editing. The choice of music is really eerie, which sort of transformed the whole experience for me. I dig it!

My past life diagnosis:

---

I don’t know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern Israel around the year 1325. Your profession was that of a banker, usurer, moneylender or judge.

---

Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
As a natural talent in psychology, you knew how to use your opportunities. Cold-blooded and calm in any situation.

---

The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
Your task is to learn, to love and to trust the universe. You are bound to think, study, reflect, and to develop inner wisdom.

---

Do you remember now?

I’ve always felt a connection to the Middle East and the Jewish people, even though I’m in no ways religious… Very odd.

T and I took this creepy quiz called “How did you die in your last life?” His result: “you weren’t human in your past life, you were magical. Now that you’ve been given a human body you enjoy life very much and appreciate people. You have a job to do and that’s why you were given a human body. make sure you make wise decisions.”

I always knew he was a prophet; he had to be.

Oh by the way, I died of old age…

On the edge of perceptibility,
Subcutaneous tickles -
I exchange my brightest hair ribbon for a soft kiss,
I tilt recklessly for you.

Each day I get a mili-inch closer,
No need to push further -
Both you and I know,
I tilt at a dizzying angle.

We sit next to the kitchen table,
As I watch you chop the water spinach -
At the rim of sharpness,
I tilt to cut through…
