To Build a Sanctuary of Female Rage / Blood of a Haunted Banshee

(Magdalena Crucis Bay

whispering reflections of tainted divinity, 

bat babies cruising above the cursed lagoon,

I´m rambling ´bout my madness to infinity)

 I put a Spell on You

(She´s flying in the Beauty like a Midnight Sun, a Scarlet Comet of Celestial Shivers) 

 

Kada psihotične crvene žarulje
na akustičnoj kupoli neba
zavrte centrifugalnu groznicu
i opale ljubičastu kožu
gradske lepre i metroa
zategnem crnu plastiku
oko sijamskih blizanaca svog tijela
i poželim jesti
meso čovječansko
otete djevojčice
usne vrelih pjevača
melankolične kirurge
Ako moja dvojnica Ondina
na cornwallskoj stijeni
izusti plave šipke
slinom podmorskih krijesnica
i muklih kobaltnih cepelina
čekat ću bič sa zvonika
mirna i sumračna
kao drogirana gejša
vezana za sebe
na dnu Pacifika
puštajući da me ajkula
pretvori u rujnu pjenu

 Infernal Incandescence

(tied to the radiator, vomiting stardust and heart-shaped diamonds) 

----------------------------------------------

 

Old poem from cca 2001-2003

(Prastara pjesmurina iz cca 2001 - 2003) 

 

P-faktor

(parodija patetike)

 

 

Petrom prži purpurna psihoza.

Psiče poskok, prijeti primarni prasak.

Pauci pakla pljušte po podmuklom podmorju.

Potres podvezica požudno plazi

prepotentnim pličinama.

Pobačaji plaču.

Perverzna pneumonija puca po partizanima.

Povijuše pliskavo podmeću pliš

pod pravoslavnu parohiju.

Plavi plamen plazi

plahom planinom plačne planete,

plašeći plavušinu placentu.

Pirane pustoše Povardarjem,

punkerski požderavši pakosne plahte.

Prostitutke psuju pičkama.

Paranoja praši poput požara,

preklinjem: Pusti!

Pljuvačka padavice

psihodelično poji propusima.

Pohotna povorka pornografije

prlja primadone.

Plijesan pluta pulpom,

podzemna priviđenja

pokvareno poplavljuju pubise.

Poljubac pijavice pulsira plazmom.

Plin pupka pozira Peloponezom.

Promrzle pandže potonuše pod pomrčinom.

Pale Perzefone

proklinju pepeo progonstva,

promuklo potresajući praskozorje.

Pukotine potresa

pogano pune puške

porezanih plesačica.

Pogreb ptica pliva pučinom.

Ponori Plutona pljuju posrnulu psihu.

Podmukle pume pližu pustinjom,

pod pejotlom provokativnih preslica.

Plima pelina potresa Polineziju.

Preskoči poraz,

pali, pupaj, pjevaj.

Preostaje praznina.

 

(5 godina kasnije praznina se pretvorila u propupalu propulzivnost)

Silver Award: Experimental Film

"Nuclear Nymphs"

Petra Brnardic

  

What a tutta forza adventure! I returned from Novigrad excited, intoxicated and happy, dizzy with impressions of the entire kaleidoscope of film gems and in a state of being burningly intrigued, that prompted me to throw myself into a closer exploration of the seductive-dark canyon of recent works of the genres brilliantly presented by the Avant-Garde Horror & Fantasy Film Festival! My dreamy, furious and frenzied experimental fusion of image, poetry and performance, "The Butterfly and the Snake", received a special mention for a short hybrid genre film, but what I will remember even longer and more intensely is the fantastic atmosphere, wonderful people, excellent organization and magical, surreal experience!

 Enantiodromia

- High Priestess - 

(Vertiginous voltage of veiled veins vain as a violet-vermilion vulture)

(The title "Enantiodromia" is inspired by the term I heard again in a podcast that preceded the one about Clarice Lispector, whom I just joyfully discovered. What drew me more to her literary opus is the statement, "This is not writing, this is pure witchcraft.")

Artemizia Foundation: "Butterfly Effect" and "Black Siren"

 

 Woodoo Bitch

(...Kali_Forn(I, cat)ia...)

 

Stills from my poetic movie experiment "Satan´s Porcupine" ("Šejtanov dikobraz"), 2018.

I started playfully combining words and poetry with visual art in early 2000s, which resulted in my first film "Nigredo" (2004), frenetic, angsty examination of my disco-ball-faceted identity laced with carnal opulence, repulsively curious photomanipulations and heretic distortions/contortions. I edited photos in a primitive, punk manner and drew wacky neon pixelated creatures as extensions of myself in Microsoft Paint (saving them on floppy disks). The movie was presented in Nano Gallery as a part if my solo exhibition "Schizomania".

 "Satan´s Porcupine" was shown in Poetry In Preparation (video poetry evening), Prozori Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia and Zeljezara Festival - Visual Poetry And Prose Mix, Striegl Gallery, Sisak, Croatia.
