Gilgamesh: He Who Saw the Deep

The Last Day… YEEEHHH… I am really amused!! 😂🤣

Yes, I am a retired pensioner person though, I’d never know what it really is! I mean; I have been feeling as an artist all through my life and I believe that an artist will never get retired, do they? why! there is always some ideas, something to create.

Of course, you might ask me that my job in the last almost 30 years could have nothing to do with the Arts and you might be right but, believe me, if you began your life with some kind of art in the society, you can’t leave it.

Yes, my destiny forced me to chose a job which I wasn’t really wanting it but a must to earn mony to survive, and I made of this dry, boring and trivial work an interesting one, a loving, caring and even intellectual kind of work, though, I tell you; in this business the word intelligence is a foreign word!

Anyway, I did my best and I can proudly say that some nice old people as my regular customers, will miss me 😉

Now let me tell you what I had done, or beter to say tried to do in Iran after Khomaynie regime closed down all the newspapers, you know, in that time in Iran, after so-called; Iranian Spring; in the Spring of 1979, in which at the beginning, we could touch a hint of freedom, the Mullah’s regime closed all the real and free newspapers, I have tried my talent on the stages. and I succeeded; played as an Ape; as you can see here, and I was also a Lion, a Bear, and a soldier. I got in the world of the theatre, just to keep being creative. and of course, it was an unforgettable time in my life

There I am, an Ape with something 😉 that is my time in (not Paris) but in Tehran, when I, and some experts, discovered my talent as an actor😁🤣
Here I must add that I was lucky to get a master of make-up to do this wonderful mask on my face. And it was an act for the children which we’ve played on the stage and also on the TV show.

I myself, as always carefully saying; being an artist, or at least being surrounded by the artists all through my life, tried to give my best, and I can not imagine someone can do this without the ability of creation.

here are other roles which I took over to play;

I must confess that I was actually always a musician. 😉🤗

Anyway, I was never in any position to work… and work it out… and get retired! In my life the work is the art, to create; the one is there to try to make it, not perfect but better, harmonically nice and beautiful… the feeling like; now I’m done! let’s… have a look 🤔😎

but you know what I mean; if somebody has something to do with a kind of arts and creations, can never be a pensioner.., there is nothing to stop; nobody can limit or control the imaginations, they are unlimited.

I think somehow; Fact doesn’t actually exist, just let the imagination run and never stop! 😊

And there it is; an important question which still remains: the question of “How is it, to be Retired? Of course, it’s another story 😂😅 stay safe everyone 💖👍✌🙏💖

So let’s start confiding,
The secret that we’re hiding
(Beautiful Song on a meaningful Poem) 💖🙏👌

Three Jewels🙏

Hi dear friends. Today, I’d like to interview or better to use the word sharing with you (before you answer; hey! I know that stuff of course!!) this amazing TV work with great music, directory, actor(ess)s, and story.

You know; it is not simply to find a good TV show or serial and It’s The TV serial! Because I have wonderful memories in which my brother Al and I had watched it permanently after we’d recorded it on the videotapes. We were both introverts. because of our traumatic childhood and TV was a long time the best companion in this world. And I can add that in this one we could find a lot of similarities, for example; don’t trust anybody! (Though one of us must be in contact to the society, I did it, because Al was a writer and I, as I have thought, had nothing to present.)

therefore, we had a lot of memories about watching TV (series) and keep ourselves in. (it would be fit with the Coronas world now, doesn’t it?!

It was and is as a strong memory for me to watch and hear the first line of this show;

Of course, I had to add here, that it wasn’t only the brilliant artist’s movie work but also the music which belong to the time in which we, as humans, were suffering from inhumanity; the WWII.

It was not only a TV show, it shows not just the points of draft or the thoughtfulness of the mankind, but it’d go to the deep of the childhood: Where is the father gone? when will he come back?; SOON… SOON, and we two brothers knew about it so much, too much, so long. we knew these questions!

Anyway, It was my discovery as I knew in Germany, it’s not so easy to find a good production from other countries in the original language. I mean here you can surely find all the good artworks from all over in the world but you must search intensively, they’d never come on the common famous TV channels.

And this song… give me a heartbeat!!

That is not only a good TV serial, I repeat myself I know, but it shows also the psychological stand of a child in a very deeply version; I know what I’m talking about! Roger Waters from Pink Floyd would confirm this! (The Wall)

I have the same stocking at school. from the teachers as the classmates!

And there we’ve found once more, I say once more because the history of the arts keeps mostly going to the deep points of the child in the growing-up period. Shadows… Shadows… We must know our Shadows. Am I right or am I right?

And the umbrella is too fix today 😉

These are the great ones to create this great work;

Michael Gambon, Janet Suzman and Patrick Malahide star in a 1987 miniseries about a stricken writer’s painful recovery.

Having a great chance (for me at least)

Hi friends, I am very amused to get the chance to have a small but after all, a short view to this desirable exhibition.

let’s enjoy it together 😊💖 with thanks to http://www.openculture.com/ and

Experience the Van Gogh Museum in 4K Resolution: A Video Tour in Seven Parts

When we think of the most technologically inclined artists of all time, we don’t necessarily think of Vincent van Gogh. Though he wrote of his determination to create “the art of the future,” when he got down to painting he did so with traditional tools. Whatever Van Gogh’s own feelings about technology, technology certainly seems to like him: take, for example, 2017’s Loving Vincent, a feature film about him animated with 65,000 paintings; the digital exhibition of his work that took place in Paris last year; his paintings brought to life with 3D animation and visual mapping; and a virtual-reality version of The Night Cafe, all previously featured here on Open Culture — not to mention the 1,400 paintings and drawings by van Gogh made available online by the Van Gogh

However forward-looking its full-featured online presence made the Van Gogh Museum seem before, this particular moment has made it look like an even more prescient institution. With it and so many other brick-anmortar museums temporarily closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, online is the only way any of us can enjoy them.

In addition to its existing resources on the web, the Van Gogh Museum has over the past month been uploading a private tour, all shot in 4K video. Much like the five-hour iPhone ad shot in the Hermitage about which we posted last month, this series provides a drifting, floating view of the museum’s galleries and the works they proudly display, all quite unlike any experience one could ever have had there in person.

In the six parts of the series that have gone up so far, with a seventh and final installment to come next, not a single other person appears to get between you and Van Gogh’s portraits, Van Gogh’s still lifes, Van Gogh’s scenes urban and rural. But you do get some accompaniment in the form of a full musical score, an element that has become quite important for this now-emerging form of cinematic, high-resolution museum tour video.

Though brief, this Van Gogh Museum tour in 4K covers a wide swath of the artist’s work, and will surely only whet the appetite of viewers who’ve been meaning to make the trip to Amsterdam themselves. Until then, we can take in Van Gogh’s “art of the future” using the technology of the present — the likes of which wouldn’t have appeared in even his wildest visions.

I think indeed that the art is a gift given us by God or whomsoever, to see beyond, beyond our own soul (shadow) or either beyond the social life into the future.

To be blunt, I can’t explain myself how it is possible, though the artists-selves never recommended themselves as future predictors if we take a look at all the imaginary and science fiction kind of all possibilities in the history of arts, there are many facts which were fiction those days and now they are assured as fact.

There are so many examples and I don’t want to list them here, but I have a wonderful cingle example here; this movie; The Contact. I don’t know if you have seen this, I would suggest it highly recommended. But let me explain why I meant this and why I share this special clip with you;

I just tell a short summary on this movie if you haven’t seen it yet, as the title might clear it; it goes on the connection to the aliens as humans are trying all nights & days long and it achieved finally as they got a plan to get this connection. they had to build a ship! And it succeeds by Dr Ellie to understand the code and they got a map to constitute the very ship.

Anyway, last but not least everything got ready and one of the best actress and genius ever Jodie Foster flies to the unknown.

Anything is clear, exiting, and fascinated. But the main point, in my opinion, is here in this scene; here she has a chair which has not to belong to the design of the ship in which she had to stay, this chair is a human version of their own. The rest of the ship is perfectly imitated though, here man can’t get out of its stupidity and of course think that the aliens are stupid and forgotten to put the chair in between!!!

Here, in this scene, you see where is the problem. be safe, all you friends 💖🙏💖
