Lifeline

A few shots before the kettlebell class - here is an orange lifeline of Tammerkoski rapids.

In the evening I participated to an art lecture arranged by Pirkkala's art association. The subject was "Dada and Surrealism - randomness in art". A long, long time ago I had a presentation in a school about Dada and it's funny how I still remembered many names!

In 1916, Hugo Ball created the Dada Manifesto, making a political statement about his views on the terrible state of society and acknowledging his dislike for philosophies in the past claiming to possess the ultimate Truth. The same year as the Manifesto, in 1916, Ball wrote his poem "Karawane," which is a poem consisting of nonsensical words. The meaning however resides in its meaninglessness, reflecting the chief principle behind Dadaism.


Karawane

jolifanto bambla o falli bambla
großiga m'pfa habla horem
egiga goramen
higo bloiko russula huju
hollaka hollala
anlogo bung
blago bung
blago bung bosso fataka
ü üü ü
schampa wulla wussa olobo
hej tatta gorem
eschige zunbada
wulubu ssubudu
