Plundered Rest

In a box of a dozen eggs, each one was transparent. I could see a gnarly, cartilage form, an embryo or fetus of some kind. They were almost ear-like in structure: pink and beige in tone. The light made the folds of these shapes even more pronounced. And I knew I could not eat these eggs.

I have the peculiar curse, disguised as a blessing, of being a frequent lucid dreamer. I awake in my dream aware of a body laying somewhere outside. When this happens the visuals of the dreamworld will often disappear and I’m left in a blackness of sounds and sensations trying not to panic.


Ubu Kung – a side-project of arts/activism platform Tse Tse Fly Middle East (founder Simon, in the UK) and vocalist X (in the Philippines)

Right Now Sometimes is a response to Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones’ series of Briar Rose paintings created in the late 1800s. The piece reflects on a cathartic state between sleep and wakefulness, and suggests tones and noises that float in and out of consciousness.
