Glock at Tashas.
Cpt Mangena says its impossible to fire that gun with out your finger on the trigger
Blame everybody but yourself, I did not pull the trigger
Lets take an ad break

(A tall story getting shorter)


My finger was not on the trigger. At Taschas I must have put another round in the chamber
Check the magazine first Check the slide Check the magazine I didn’t do it I should have
And at that moment I discharged I didn’t pull the trigger  I didn’t have time to think

You see its all the same  We had that yesterday. Its all the same .

What happened. Thats absurd I had to go training On a Sunday A burst pipe, we had to wait, I asked for the song
There could have been times

The policeman was in his rights.  What is his duty?  You had it, one up
I ignored him.I couldn’t find the round.If he had dealt with the situation more professionally.
Policeman acting.  Agressively: do you know what I can do with that gun ? he could have handled the situation better.




The legend of the Miraculous discharge


The sunroof never happened
A terrible fabrication
Again we have to blame
You heard from people
Who told you they said that
I apologise for laughing
I hope it does’nt happen again.
Is that the gallery mam, yes it is
Thankyou. not laughing.

15 minutes before lunch
 I don’t want to get confused
In what sequence 2 taps or
The four shots in quick succession I can’t remember they only told me afterwards I fired four shots.

I NEVER MEANT TO PULL THE TRIGGER

It went off accidentally I did’nt have time to think I heard a noise no reason for you to shoot if you waited a second if you waited you would not  have not fired at the intruders were’nt there the door was there we know for a fact there were no intruders there was no ladder there was a noise that was Reeva behind the door we know facts facts facts facts I interpreted in a split second intruders fear and started shooting it was ‘nt accidentally I didn’t intend to shoot it was an accident! the door

Lunch.














She was doing Yoga exercises Just lying on the bed,
the tv was on I climbed into the bed on the lefthandside where you did not sleep usually because of an injury sometimes I slept away from her put the fans in position  lying flat one on top of the other what happened then  watching tv trying to chat on my ipad showing me pictures on my phone and my arm around her neck her legs I fell asleep which favourite cars we would have on her phone when you woke up what noise I don’t know it was humid and hot I sat up and heard a noise I never said that I sat up in bed rubbed my face baba you cant you sleep baba no ican’t the curtains were drawn make out silhouettes I did’nt see reeva I held my head  I did’nt sse her M’Lady
Walked aroud the bed took the small fan and then you closed and locked the door and curtains. Easy or nothing bothered you not  and nothing was in the way my back facing the room she’s there I didn’t seee her gettting out of bed it was pitchblack and I placed the fan closed the curtains if she got up it was pitchblack
You face the tv I could barely see anything the jeans on the floor on the amplifier did you put the duvet on the floor she was under the duvet could you see that her legs ( I fired in quick succession)  it don’t mean a thing, only on talk radio 702, its a nightmare. Available at diskem farmaseas, crime line , sms , oskarextra go to clic and launch yourself, lets get back , what else is wrong there the fan blocked the door look for a policemen my watches went missing the fan the duvet the curtain make your defence difficult around the time make a statement to th e accused where is the evidence of the argument its circumstantial evidence, if you want to say something that ends todays coverage that’s so improbable nobody can believe you eyewittness news talk radio absorbing evidence riveting listening anyway at some pont people may go to the polls which we will talk about its three o’clock.

Forensic Study : Oskar's Gun, (Gestalt theory). (mixed Media, 100x150cm) in flux

 Oskar Pistorius,  Olympian Athlete also nicknamed the Blade Runner, stands accused of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, model and starlet on Valentines Day 2013  The trial is broadcast live  which provides an unique opportunity to wander and wonder in thoughts through facts, fiction and fantasy of this Opera . For days on end, slow and with orderly lunchbreaks, rececces  and weekends off.

 
To me the fascination is not primarily the question of innocence or guilt, but visual detail imagined cryptographically, the work in progress re-creation, delving into mind and matter  towards meaning. So often I am asked : whats this ? by visually illiterates. I might ask : why is this, but what?
So here are some clues to "whats this"'s  why-fore evolution, the viewer may indulge in own Forensic study and unravel the layers as they formatted upon the original template of my assumption:  "the gun did it".  Caught up or lost in ever more meanings, detail, allusion, metaphore one whiles away at hours.
(The challenge with Art is not get lost. but find.)

 
'the lock:,  M'lady Justice  balancing the scales of justice, blindfolded, with paperwork and paragraphenalia and recreating in her 'minds eye' the stock: a coffin or bed with flowers to Reeva - lately more like a watermelon-, Oskar the barrel and accused balanced on an hourglass , "we've got lots of time Mr. Pistorius" , imprisoned in cage. My Bloody Valentine, Ladykiller (a small gun ideal for a lady's purse) Dum Dum ,Bullets, like a  Zombie Stopper, Vomit Bucket, flowers, Bang Bang my boo boo ballistic trajectory, cricket bat, fans (one or two?),fear , cellphones, a door , bodybag and the  ultimate toilet,......, thinking, not thinking emotional breakdowns etc..


 As the trial proceeds , I will continue to tamper with  evidence and contaminate the process of  investigative reconstruction. Skinning, unskinning the onion of conciousness' layers, veiling and unveiling , tosssing bones and potluck divination. 

Gestalt psychology or gestaltism (GermanGestalt – "shape or form") is a theory of mind of the Berlin School. The central principle of gestalt psychology is that the mind forms a global whole with self-organizing tendencies. This principle maintains that the human mind considers objects in their entirety before, or in parallel with, perception of their individual parts; suggesting the whole is other than the sum of its parts. Gestalt psychology tries to understand the laws of our ability to acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in an apparently chaotic world.
In the domain of perception, Gestalt psychologists stipulate that perceptions are the products of complex interactions among various stimuli.
