Nikola Tosic text for the Angelo Foundation
I asked writer and artist Nikola Tosic to write a text for the Angelo Foundation and he wrote this:
"For some time Angelo has been mentioning his Angelo Foundation.
Angelo is a unique kind of person (everybody is unique but he is more unique) so it is hard for me sometimes to understand what he does. Lack of understanding of his goals combined with my general lack of understanding of everything else including my own conciseness results in lack of action... so I have not done anything for or with the Foundation.
Today we met on skype, after many months, and within few messages I agreed to write a text for the Foundation and I am writing it now.
I wanted to write it immediately because while I chatted to him I felt this warm compassion about his will to create something of his own and make it happen. I felt like I need to help him do this no matter what it is. As if he is a baby that needs feeding. I somehow understood this basic need of his hidden in a mess of millions of confusions and misunderstandings and conflicts any of us has on daily basis. It is nice to see anyone doing anything, especially if it is abstract and especially if it is hard to figure out. And it is nice to be part of it, to be drawn into their little universe and be a small puzzle piece in this interpretation of reality, maybe even in the centre of it for a short moment. I could spend my whole lifetime going from one person to another grabbing these little moments and being part of their dreams.
So I write this text and I hope I can get my little moment as part of Angelo's creation because his work is important content for my own life. It is a bizarre parasitic symbiosis of reality benders.
Also I hope to get invited to read poetry reading in Athens. That would be nice."

Some more Beijing
The air-tram that leads to the Great Wall
The Great Wall
They say Lenin is sleeping next to the Great Wall
The corridor that leads to Tiananmen square from the Forbidden city
The unforgettable Flower salad
Huge led screens everywhere
Identical building complexes
