IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?
Private investigations with images and words in the town of Parnu, Estonia.
November 2001.
"This will be a spa town in the autumn time. You may get wet by the rain when you will walk down to the city hall. The town has no attractions, the rounded windows stare at you from the houses."
The words she said, on the way to Parnu, were an invitation to the town that may flourish only one period of year. That moment was not now, so it reasoned us to get there. Here we go!
"Bad medicine, but still this bottle was not enough. While our sweet guide lady continued her story, two gentlemen on the first row of the bus, realized a true moment for a refreshment."
Well, is there any other entertainment to do while the bus trip?
"Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon. Though down this road we've been so many times. The carneval was away and the most signs of life were vacuumed."
The down townd could not offer much to do. The shops were closed, the wheather did not please us. Some groups of tourists here and there.
"The rain drops down on the tennis field. The empty harbour, there is no one on the beach. This is a spa town in the autumn time. The days of wonder, with friends surrounded."
This is likely because the summer has gone. Here are only the widow folks and pensioners who look search company from each others. What they might think about us?
"How can you know about the world that does not tell anything about itself?"
What'a hell we do here b-t-w?
"Why won't you talk to me, you never talk to me. What are you thinking, what are you feeling? Letting your feelings to burn, you would remember the moments of your life."
Gosh, anybody wants to play beach volley here? Hello...? HELLO! Is there anybody out there? I think they do not want to not play.
"One time ago on a beach, but still doing well. Get rid of your fears; every word you say is about yourself. Everyone is a star in their movie."
Camera - lights - action!! And nothing happened. Where is the director?
"Restless faces, low voices wondered down a boulevard. Searching for a hotel, searching for a refreshment and convenience. The road was long, and all the destinations were unreachable. Where you would you rather be? Anywhere - anywhere but here. When would the time be right? Anytime - anytime but now."
Hm, basically I just wanted to have a some soda... and get some sleep!
"Finally, now matter what you are up to, do not compromize. Do not take it too deep, you need real eyes to realize. It's that smile on your face; that gives space. That gives light on your way.
Freeze your good moments to last."
Right... and resistance is futile. Ugh, we have spoken.
But some other time, most
likely in a summer, we shall return. Since it has been written now, it
will be done. Will you be there then?
