EDITO
An Island
Ever blue, ever in the winds, the islands float on the Indian Ocean and in our minds. Our imagination transforms them into lost paradises. From romantic white sails to romantic charters, everyone becomes the Cyclops of the Odyssey ? With one unique way of looking at things, with one unique eye that is blind, in the final reckoning, to more common realities.
As if islands protected more than they enclosed. Yet this implies forgetting about Nelson Mandela on Robben Island. Islands are not refuges of truth, but rather prisons of meaning and misinterpretation on which society likes to believe that it is a world onto itself, with the sea and cyclones as its sole infinity. The sea is also, however, a highway bordering the suburbs of an unfindable city. The neurosis of a lost center. The winds blow all kinds of music and lyrics into the air ; the notes and the words criss-cross above the waves. From elsewhere to here. From here to elsewhere.
And then we perceive that islands are only wings of migrating birds, a few feathers of which alight on the ocean.
