DAY 02/31:
Prompt: “Travel far away without moving”
Merlin Lauert
I don‘t really know what to say about this little series other than that it consists of weird houses being put in possible travel destinations. The prompt was 'travel far away without moving‘ so besides travelling to angry-spiral town, a fishing pond and many more places, it lead to outer space too. While drawings start to exist in the mind and one can draw themselves to wherever they want, this is the only tool you need to go places - a little imagination.

I thought of meditation, occult, psychic/psychedelic, and nostalgia. Nostalgia is the ultimate way to travel far away without moving. I lit candles, and dug through a memory box of photos and items (like hair from my first haircut).
I put on Acoustic Medley by Bob Marley and sang along, but ultimately chose Phantogram and a fuzzy filter for the video. Both songs are deeply nostalgic. I shuffled and drew three tarot cards from a nostalgic deck. Nostalgia is a disease.
