Crossing the cosmos

In life is a flow that goes underneath existence as a line connecting being before and after.
The fluid link bridging the lives we had and the lives we will have.

When consciousness reaches enough deepness, this vital line can become clear in awareness.
And the line can be seen and understood and connected with.
To let go of all daily life of packages filled with traditions, dogmas and doctrines to sail on this fundamental flow.
To move in harmony between the past and the future.
To be one with eternity.
To become the traveller in the cosmos.

All the photographic work that has been made on the location called El Triple in Baja California, Mexico has come from impulses.
From a personal drive.
From an inner need.
Because it simply and necessarily and desperately had to be made.

It was being in the flow that goes underneath existence.
Connecting with what the source the deepest inside the self was suggesting.

This phenomenon has been going on for over thirty years at El Triple.
And has resulted in a bulk of photography.
Several photobooks and many exhibitions.

And now, in May 2010, the flow at El Triple is manifesting itself strongly again.
But in a complete different way.
Instead of making images again, a talented representative of the new generation is taking the pictures.
And the photographer that has made thousands of images at El Triple over the last thirty years is now her model.
Hence, instead of taking the pictures, the photographer serves to have a new person make images at El Triple.

There is an absolute beauty in this.
For many years a photographer has been taken images away from a place.
And now he is giving them back.
