Neinar Seli: "Ma ootan huviga Plasku uut ajastut. See maja on linlastel hästi vastu võetud ning omamoodi Tartu sümboliks saanud. Aga sümbolit tuleb pidevalt läikima lüüa ning praegu on paras aeg anda talle uus sisu ja nägu."

All human beings are born free and equal.
And i come from Karlova.

The monument of Alexander and me

The glow of Luunja

Place and presence. Cats have different point of view

It was in mid 80-s, when we, the children of Tartu, were playing with soviet gas masks. Everybody had one at home, out of order, of course. Gas masks were meant for all adult males in the city .The radio stations were playing Jean Michel Jarre Oxygene for some reason. River Emajõgi was full of waste these days. I was often daydreaming about a giant wels living in the river delta. I imagined a rose yellowish nuclear sunrise over lake Peipus. Missiles flying over the sunrise to the west, huge explosion shaking and taking control over Tartu- me and my family skinned alive and melting down. Those were the 80-s. Dzhokhar Dudayev lived in my neighbourhood. He later became the president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.

Emajõe vasakul kaldal, kus paljastatud devon kivistunult irvitab, asub üks imelik porine mülgas, mille pinnal on pidev ja tagasitulev läikiva õli kiht. Teatud psüühilises seisundis on võimalik sellest mülkast läbi hüpata ja sattuda igikestva devoni ürgmere eeskotta. See võib olla kasvõi üks süütu Lõuna-Eesti väikelinn nimega Äkke, mis on ümbritsetud jõepõhja vajunud tankidest kostuvate jämedate raadiolainetega.

On the left bank of Emajõgi, where the devonian period is exposed as stoned- there is a muddy spot right at the shore. The mud`s surface is oily, it has always been like that. It is possible to jump into this spot in a certain psychological condition, and find yourself in the lobby of eternal devonian seas. The lobby- it might be an innocent town in South-Estonia, called Äkke, which is surrounded by rough radio-waves coming out of the sunken tanks of World War II, resting in the bottom of Emajõgi.

I will go and photo-shoot the oily spot asap. It is known, that every time something really bad happens in Tartu (bad accidents, people get killed or disappear), someone exits the spot.
