WESTON

EVERY SUMMER I VISIT WESTON-SUPER-MARE THAT IS THE TOWN OF MY LOVE. WESTON IS A VERY PHOTOGENIC COAST TOWN NEAR BRISTOL AND CARDIFF IN SOMERSET, ENGLAND. I ALWAYS ENJOY MY DAYS THERE AND ITS SCENERY INSPIRES ME. NOBODY KNOWS I SOMETIMES FANTASIZE ABOUT WHAT MY PARTNER’S CHILDHOOD AND TEEN YEARS WERE LIKE AROUND THE AREA. I FEEL A GREAT TENDERNESS WHEN I EXPLORE THIS TOWN BECAUSE OF THAT FANTASY. I USUALLY DO THESE WALKS ON MY OWN BECAUSE MY LOVE IS WORKING, SO MY IMAGINATION JUST FLIES. MY SUMMERS USED TO BE QUITE DIFFERENT, I’M FROM LA PALMA, ONE OF THE SEVEN CANARY ISLANDS, IN SPAIN. THERE, I WOULD SPEND THE WHOLE HOT SUMMER IN A BLACK SAND BEACH NEAR HOME, SO EXPLORING WESTON BECOMES AN EXOTIC EXPERIENCE BECAUSE THE LANDSCAPE IS UNUSUAL FOR ME. I NE-

VER GET BORED IN WESTON. THESE PHOTOS SHOW MY HIKE TO BREAN DOWN FROM MY MOTHER IN LAW’S PLACE. I WOULDN’T BE EXAGGERATING IF I SAY THAT I FEEL MESMERIZED BY THIS WALK EVERY TIME I DO IT AND I GUESS THAT IS WHAT THE PHOTOS SHOW. I HAVE BEEN VISITING THE UK FOR AN ONGOING PHOTO-NARRATIVE PROJECT ENTITLED “TALES OF A CITY” SINCE 2005. THIS SET ALSO BELONGS TO THIS LONG TERM RESEARCH ABOUT THE BRITISH IDENTITY, THESE PERSONAL PHOTOS BELONG TO THE SEVENTH TALES. THIS SERIES WAS SELECTED AND FINISHED DURING MY LOCKDOWN IN TENERIFE DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS, WHILE THE WORLD IS DOING THE PICTURE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING, MY HEART AND MY MIND TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD WORK ON MY OLD STUFF AND FIND SOME BEAUTY. I’VE FOUND MY REFUGE IN THESE GOOD MEMORIES.

COSMOKIDS ARTIST KATRIN DAR PHOTOGRAPHY VALENTINA ABANINA

SPINNING SHADES M A G A Z I N E

I’VE BEEN EXPLORING COSMOPOLITANISM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT THROUGH MY NEW SERIES COSMOKIDS. THIS IS NOT AN ABSTRACT THEORY. THIS IS AN AXIOM. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF FAITH. THIS IS REALITY. I USED TO THINK ABOUT COSMOPOLITANISM IN THE DIGITAL WORLD, AS WE ARE CONNECTING WITH OTHER PEOPLE ON OUR PLANET THROUGH THE INTERNET. BUT WE WERE ONE WHOLE EVEN BEFORE THE INTERNET. IT WAS ALL ALONG THE WAY. THE TERM COSMOPOLITANISM APPEARED IN ANCIENT GREEK ABOUT 2400 YEARS AGO. DIOGENES WAS THE FIRST TO COIN THE WORD ‘COSMOPOLITAN‘, WHICH MEANS ‘CITIZEN OF THE WORLD‘. THEN IT BECAME A PART OF THE STOIC PHILOSOPHY. WE ARE USED TO LIVING IN A SOCIETY, AND THAT‘S GREAT. BUT FROM OUR BIRTH, OUR COMMUNITY HAS SET FRAME. THEN WE ARE WHO CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE FRA-

MES UNCONSCIOUSLY. WE IDENTIFY OURSELVES BY RELIGION, RACE, GENDER, STYLE, PROFESSION. BUT ALL OF US ARE CHILDREN OF THE UNIVERSE FROM THE STARDUST, WE ARE COSMOKIDS. WE ARE INTEGRITY. I WANT MORE PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT GLOBAL BASIC THINGS. THIS CAN HELP SOCIETY MAKE DECISIONS FROM A HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE. DERIVATIVES OF THIS ARE SUCH THINGS AS PEACE, ECOLOGY, THE DEVELOPMENT OF MANKIND. WE ALL WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE. THIS MAY BE POSSIBLE DUE TO DECISION-MAKING AT A DIFFERENT CONSCIOUS LEVEL, WHICH I WANT TO TELL IN MY WORK. I USED EMBROIDERY ON METALLIC PHOTO PAPER FOR THE COSMOKIDS SERIES. ALSO, I’VE BOUGHT OLD FRAMES AT A FLEA MARKET. THESE ARTWORKS AND THEIR CENTURY-OLD FRAMES ARE AN INTEGRAL WHOLE. YOU CAN FEEL THE PAST AND THE PRESENT MOMENT AT THE SAME TIME WHILE WATCHING THEM.
