HET Hem, Amsterdam / 2020

     Have you ever become friendly with a butterfly? One fell asleep on our cap in Vienna. She stayed with us as we wandered around, in and out of bars, following rabbits and streetlamps through the night. When she woke up, she blinked at us slowly for quite a long while, unfurling and recomposing herself repeatedly, deliciously, until she was sure we were properly attentive. Which do you wonder first: what they’re doing to you? Or what you’re doing to them? Maybe you’re one to split the difference instead. “What’s a transmitter without a receiver?” you’re asking yourself. A parallel world, that’s what. They are waiting, we are waiting, for that agency we sense but don’t fully comprehend.
