About Einsamkeit
Loneliness is like the rain.
It rises from the sea toward evening
and from distant plains moves into sky
where it ever belongs.
And from the sky it falls upon us in the city.
It rains here below in the twilight hours
when alleyways wind toward morning
and when lovers, finding nothing,
leave the failure of each other’s arms,
and when two who loathe each other
must share the same bed:
Then loneliness flows with the rivers…

Die Einsamkeit ist wie ein Regen.
Sie steigt vom Meer den Abenden entgegen;
von Ebenen, die fern sind und entlegen,
geht sie zum Himmel, der sie immer hat.
Und erst vom Himmel fällt sie auf die Stadt.
Regnet hernieder in den Zwitterstunden,
wenn sich nach Morgen wenden alle Gassen
und wenn die Leiber, welche nichts gefunden,
enttäuscht und traurig von einander lassen;
und wenn die Menschen, die einander hassen,
in einem Bett zusammen schlafen müssen:
dann geht die Einsamkeit mit den Flüssen…
Rainer Maria Rilke, 21.9.1902, Paris
Rybalka (Fishing) is catching images from the past, intellectual game with intervention in passed times.
2. Comparison in the diptych – the emergence of a new relationship between the images.
When a person has some trauma in the same time this person has something like a mystic line that crossed his life. There is the section marked by a red thread, the border between the rationality and the dark side of the mind. There is the tape of the will and wholeness, that connects past and future – now and here, the line separates our knowledge and hidden piece of our identity. There is a glue, that binds our world, conscience, and existence, the passage of time. Only „now” moment is colorful, a live element of the universe, only “now” has the power, energy, motion, and saturation. “Before” and “After” does not exist.
Khukh tengri means “blue sky” in Mongolian, Mongolians still pray to Munkh Khukh Tengri (“Eternal Blue Sky”) and Mongolia is sometimes poetically called the “Land of Eternal Blue Sky” (Munkh Khukh Tengriin Oron) by its inhabitants. In modern Turkey, Tengrism is known as the Göktanrı dini (“Sky God religion”); the Turkish “Gök” (sky) and “Tanrı” (God) correspond to the Mongolian khukh (blue) and Tengri (sky), respectively. According to Hungarian archaeological research, the religion of the Hungarians until the end of the 10th century (before Christianity) was Tengrism.
