Last time I realized that I could compare my artistic activity to the opened tome.
If I took beautiful postcard photos, they could be said to be beautiful. This statement could actually end the discussions about these photographs. However, because I create peculiar, unusual, odd, or even disturbing images, the topic of debate about the author and his works remains an opened tome. I suppose that such a book could be unlocked forever. The truth is that we can add new chapters, comments, and incentives practically all the time. It can be treated in the same way as I write new blog posts. I do not have to mention that I often write about myself and my creative activities. I believe that the interpretations of my works will be added not only by me, my contemporaries but also by future generations.
Indeed, it is one of my main aims: to be „discovered” by posterity, including cyber-archeologists who would analyze my opened tome by examining, among others, the www.adammazek.com website.
Why one of my dreams is tragic somehow? I will never travel in time. Thus, I won’t see how all my creative doings will influence future generations. I have no doubt that there will be many people whom I will inspire (I already did it with some contemporaries). I am merely curious about how my works will be described and how people will be influenced by them. For now, I am writing my thoughts on opened tome, which is on my blog. I try to focus on leaving as much creative material for posterity as possible. Last but not least, I believe that the lives of all of us can be named opened tomes. It is mainly up to us what content will appear on subsequent pages of the book called „Life.”
