the scent of grass (2020) Tablo Bob Ivens tarafından

This work is called 'The smell of grass'. It measures 160 x 100 cm. In the background an aerial photo of the airport in Schaffen.
It represents my accident in free fall with my parachute in 1973 in Schaffen. The smell of the grass was my first sensation as I lay on the ground gasping for air like a fish out of water and taking in the first breath of air. Then I realized I was still alive.
My main parachute opened like a torch, the reserve parachute revolved around it as it opened. I spun around my parachutes like a top and saw the ground rapidly approaching me. I realized that I was falling to my death and falling to my death
The vulture sitting on infinity waiting for a meal. A watch without hands that no longer tells time. My arms open wide in a vain attempt to open my parachute. Amazed people watching books that I could have filled with the thoughts that filled my brain to bursting.
My savior between the clouds.
