Names


The other day I hung out with Burmese performance artist M.S. Our languages had blips and squeaks in it, but we seemed to do ok. He gave himself his name, and it means 'rain drop'. If I named myself... I'd be... Stephen.

Yes.

He was telling me about a performance art festival he was planning in Myanmar, in conjunction with Asiatopia (Thailand) and Jogja performance art festival (Indonesia). What are you naming it, I asked.

'Beyond Pressure', he said.

I was a fan then and there.

That's where I'm going, and you're coming with me - beyond pressure. Fuck everything else.
