Tuesday, 27th of October 2020. Been isolating at home for a week and it’s just
another day of trying to elegantly escape one of those 100 messages per hour
WhatsApp groups whilst blaming my phone for ruining the only things I’m trying
to hold onto: my ability to listen and the pleasures of being able to focus on a
task. Perpetually losing it, breaking up with it, trying to tame it with drastic
boundaries, only to later succumb once again to the promise of meditated
intimacy. For this is the age of everything distancing and that lil guy is
getting ever closer.
This edition of Fictions is the first part of a love/hate letter to phones. Hold
the line for new explorations in ring tones, voice messages and romantic calls!
