Fugue

Fugue State - A fugue state, formally Dissociative Fugue, is a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by reversible amnesia for personal identity, including the memories, personality and other identifying characteristics of individuality. The state is usually short-lived (hours to days), but can last months or longer. Dissociative fugue usually involves unplanned travel or wandering, and is sometimes accompanied by the establishment of a new identity. After recovery from fugue, previous memories usually return intact, however there is complete amnesia for the fugue episode.

^This is what Art did to me today.

Edvard Munch – Lubeck Harbor 1907

There was something relatable about his work to me today.. it was like I could feel what he was feeling in his work.

 

The way I usually love/live/breathe words… I suddenly was intensely captivated by the works of German Expressionist painters, and those involved in the the Bauhaus Movement. I'm not sure if its because it collided with all of the history I have spent so much of my life trying to understand. But I could feel the emotion that went into these paintings, and I couldn't help but relate.

Im not sure what it means, but for the first time on the trip all of this is clicking. And I dont want to lose the understanding, or the inspiration.

 

I dont know why.. but my 230am brain only wants to listen to this…

including all like 23 remixes. Reminds me of Summer nights, and London all at the same time. Memory is weird.
