Chocolat's Imaginarium

Installations from Chocolat's Imaginarium, a set on Flickr.

To create photographic installatons is a way for me to dive deep into the realm of fantasy. Contradiction? No.

When fantasy is seen as reality then life becomes exciting. More exciting.
WIth this little slide show, that I am offering here to the innocent spectator/victim, you can have a short or long drive through Chocolat's Imaginarium.

The Imaginarium is not a space but rather another universe, inclusive in character. There, everything and anything is possible, anytime and everywhere, and at the same moment as well. The illusion of time does not exist.
The vehicle that drives you through the imaginarium is your mind ( in this case my mind) and the capacity to see before it happens. Speed and destination are always determined by you, but both can slip out of your control occasionally.
But it is always you alone to decide if you want to get out or hoover for a while over a place. 

And, ah yeah, I forgot to say in the imaginarium you can feel no guilt. 

Do you get dirty ? A tiny little bit only.

THE PALE DEAD CRAB

A very beautiful specimen. I have created a black, night sky background for this image.
It seems as if he is floating through the universe like a giant space shuttle.

Rest In Peace

I hope you do enjoy  looking at these pictures as much as I did creating them.

I hope they touch you.

One early morning I found a dragonfly with no more life on my floor.

And and because of this I was allowed to make a humble photo called " Rest In Peace" .

It was what I thought when looking at my floor.  

God's breath turned visible is what I saw.

My friend who saw the photos said to me: And that is how we learn everything.

LOVE IS GONNA FIND YOU

Love is gonna find you. !

Today I am showing you some of my berry installation prints.

In the front of my workshop stand these large trees that I call THE ELDERS.

They are over fifty years old, have massive stems and produce a really enormous amount of red berries. 

The berries in return make an enormous amount of mess.

When they gather together in corners

or explode on the stairs

They literally explode when they are overripe, splattering their juice all around, when they hit the floor from 10 meter height. And the trees produce berries through most of the year. I have been told a hundred times to cut them off but their branches are like a great natural chapel and give us shade throughout the summer.

And they allowed me to create some nice installations which I had of lot of fun doing.

 Like this one called : A STUDY OF BERRIES. 

I have truly studied them in all stages of evolution.

 Or this one - a small reminder of the THE POWER OF NOW

All  prints are available at : Chocolat Negro
