“Departure from pretentiousness. Passage out of mediocracy. Good-bye to black/white-seeing. Farewell to dulled-out love. Escape from hypocrisy. Separation from bad faith. Vacation from hierarchy. Deviation from the expected. Innovation to the unknown. Shift of rules. Variation into live music. Wandering in the clouds. Outgoing for the embrace. Initial motion from slavery. Last exit to Brooklyn*. Hasta la Vista baby. Adieu mon amour. Kick the habit. Removing of the shells. Dissapear into the sunset. Point of embarkation. Winging one’s flight. Leaving the past. Exception to the norm. Avoidance as a strategy. Difference of beauty. Prevention from the inevitable. Annihilation of being. Cessation of debris. Collapse of failure. Oblivion to taste. Dying…Contrasting life. Exodus. Liberation from duality. Distinction of meaningfulness.
Departure of the artistry… ”

*In reference to ”Last Exit to Brooklyn Bridge” drama film based on the novel by Hubert Selby Jr. , directed by Uli Edel and starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, 1989.
