The last page
We made it. Together we travelled from A to B. From column to column. But not directly. We made quite a few detours in the Essen Stoppenberg district of this and other dimensions.
Now we’re standing here, in front of this advertising column. Everything to be seen here—here in this Now that you’re standing in—is already being prepared, in the moment in which I write you these sentences. Phone calls are being made and emails written. Many people are making decisions daily and navigating possibilities so that your journey can take place under the best conditions. Anything possible is possible, and what you’ve experienced so far and will experience in the future, is always only one possibility out of many. Always only the result of decisions that others have made for you, with you, or—in the best-case scenario—that you have made for yourself. Be aware of this in the future and look for the places and the passages where the wallpaper is permeable. Because, as my grandmother used to say: when you look at the world differently, different things might happen!
Now it’s time to say goodbye.
This is best done with a gesture.
Do you still have the stone in your pocket?
Then please take it out now and place it next to the column. We thus end our journey. Done is done.
But I hope you’ll keep me in your memory? Then you can take this journey again.
Or you tell it to another person. Then, before long, you’ll have someone to share your travel experiences with.
Wouldn’t that be nice.
Now it’s time for me to say Good Bye. See you soon, be well, and keep an eye out—maybe someday you’ll find a place to look through the interdimensional wallpaper, even without a stone, and we’ll meet again?
I’d like that.
Yours,
Anna Kpok
By the way, while you're in Essen, did you know that at the Museum Folkwang artists are showing works during the Ruhrtriennale that often allow you to look through the dimensional wallpaper? I am quite impressed by that. Why don't you take a look there?
