SPARKS: Jan Rozman: Bird Dementia

Photo: Marijo Župan

Dementia is a state of oblivion. A state of madness. A state of lunacy. Dementia isn’t something you get to choose. She chooses you. Everything that had solid form before has now changed. It has become forgotten without knowing what it was and without anticipating what it will become. And it is changing in this very moment. Forgetting. It transforms itself from fiction to reality, it replaces the concrete with the abstract, rationality with emotions, melting the meaning into a feeling, the personal is replaced with the common, a joke becomes the truth and the truth becomes a joke. Life passes on into death. If I am not mistaken, something important should have been written here. Forget about it. Even a bird knows more than this.
