"It is written with a pitchfork on the water", - they talk about something unresolved, ephemeral, unstable and unreliable to the limit. Indeed, who would ever think to write something on the surface of the water, where any image, even not applied with a pitchfork, immediately spreads out in different directions? Perhaps the Milanese conceptual artist with a sonorous pseudonym Guildorwho is fond of graffiti on the surface of rivers and canals.
In reality, his graffiti is, of course, not written with a pitchfork - these white floating letters are made of ordinary plastic, and their idea lies, pardon the pun, on the surface. But! Some artists are engaged in painting on water: on the surface of water poured into a tray, they paint with special paints, and then the picture is "transferred" to special paper, and it turns out very beautifully. Other masters, gurus of computer graphics, use photo manipulations to imitate letters written on the surface of water from a fluid element. But as for the most ordinary, banal graffiti on the water, no one somehow got it!
Why? Maybe because such creativity is a waste of time, a challenge to the very common sense. So, the idea of slogans floating on water can be found in the book of the most controversial and courageous Russian postmodernist writer, Vladimir Sorokin ("Blue bacon"). There, surrounded by dystopian delirium, the inscriptions on the water are just in place. And here is the artist Guildor he probably never thought of challenging the dictatorship with his inscriptions - he just has such a carefree creative nature. And the content of his floating graffiti messages that he launches to float through the canals is very light: "Love", "Think easy", "There is happiness" …
And if his white letters, peacefully floating with the flow, get confused, he is not upset: all the same, the message will reach the addressee - that is, to you and me. The essence of these " graffiti with a pitchfork on the water"can be expressed simply: spring, happiness, carelessness, joy … Maybe you should go to the nearest river and run a few words downstream? The main thing is, first, think about what you would like to say to the world - and then do not forget to catch your inscription so that the clear surface of the river can receive new careless messages.
