In the world that we live in today it is essential for us as a people to affect those around in order to create a change.

We cannot simply rely on the leaders as a whole to affect change, we have to want it.

World leaders have recently decided not to take a step forward in evolution but rather a much greater step backwards. In many parts of the world evolution has been at a stand-still for too long.

From racism, homophobia, anti-feminism, poverty to childmarriage the world as it seems is a very broken place and these leaders of ours are unfortunately either promoting this or doing nothing.

This causes people to assault, persecute and even vote for parties that stand for everything but equality and most importantly mutual respect.

How many times do we have to openly speak about the fact that they are real people we are talking about? People with memories, lives, emotions and real, mind-numbing fear as a constant in their lives.

We are being taught that all that really matters is that as long as I am fine nothing else counts. I know, from experience, that it is easy to judge from afar but few would easily stare someone in the eye and say that "you deserve to be tortured, hunted down like an animal or even die because as long as I am unaffected your life is not important".

This is at least my view all in all and can you honestly say that voting for a party that is beyond question built entirely on hate is not exactly like saying that?

Every life counts and all I can really say is that in a worst case scenario you could be next and you would probably not want anyone to consider you a casualty of their own prosperity, would you?

I am not saying you or I should sacrifice ourselves, the point is that no one should and even if there is a crisis it doesn't change the fact that people shouldn't be viewed as objects. Objects that are somewhere in the distance that doesn't matter if they lived or died or even worse: hating them blindly because someone else says so... It should matter to you. They are someone's parents, children, siblings, friends.
They, we, all of us, are people just like you.

Keep in mind that one day they could turn into me.

Imagine

There is a reason behind the word imagine being said a number of times in my video. Here's why:

Imagination is the sole and essential reason for people to be able to take action on behalf of someone else.

Whether it is someone close to you that you console at a hard time in their lives or someone you have never met. You imagine their what they are going through.

There is a certain sense that you get sometimes. Small, clarifying moments when everything seems right in the world and you take a step back to admire and enjoy the peacefulness of a room, a place or a scene.

I am now in the midst of the calm comfort of PhotoMarket at Fotografiska. I talk about this place a lot; partially becuase I do preform here from time to time bit also becuase this place generates a sense of togetherness, of acceptance.

Earlier I was talking to the very talanted Joyce Tenneson who had listen to our preformance both yesterday and today. We talked about this place and its atmosphere. How enlightened and happy it makes you feel but it also flows with creativity and urges people to feel creativity, it doesn't discriminate or judge, you are not more or less. Here you just are who you are and that is fine.

We talked about talent and how the drive and passion usually lies in the will to affect change; in one person or millions. How you want to make people feel what you feel, how you want to make a difference in some way, large or small.

There's a beauty to this moment I am in. It affects me by just being. After having preformed and indulged in meaningful conversations, the meeting of great minds with even greater hearts. This is a moment to remember, to re-visit, to love.
