Jiddu Krishnamurti
Challenging EnquiryHere hijk press opens creativity into the everyday nature of relationship. Offering innovative publications that can invite insight. That is, applying questioning unlike anything else encountered before. This enquiry is essentially ourselves, with attention that, like nature, is always present. No one can tell you about yourself; with the psyche, there is no authority, leader or guide. As this first instance, only yourself.
ANON. : Photobook as Questioning
"Can it be asked what is not memory and by direct association what is questioning: is the sense of question as affection, the sense of affection immediate as Nature, unbound?"
hijk press presents a unique publication: ANON. : Photobook as Questioning. A visual and textual inquiry into the psyche, identity, and our unmediated relationship with nature.
Strands as ANON
IDENTITY AS CHALLENGE
The real challenge is not having , the apparent feelings of not getting. Always psychologically securing and the internal separating and conflict, that such identification brings. Is this presently here, looking at self? Is the moment not old but always new, no matter what? Totally new, that one’s personal thought-feelings, becoming, cannot have and are thus free?
VISUAL ENQUIRY
A totally different consideration of non-verbal, not having, not knowing, open questioning where freely seeing is linked to immediate inner and outer investigation and learning. What might unnamed exploration unfold as?
SILENCE AND SPACE
Enabling self to consider differences without difference in itself. Present pondering, un-dividing. Wherein questioning’s apparent separating is really not knowing and quietly, spatially and fittingly, unifying. When beauty spontaneously manifests, is there speechlessness, silence, attending? Self, momentarily suspended, with nothing experiencing, as nothing’s momentarily, present. Unable to experience is experience, apparently unable yet attentatively, deeply timeless.
ART OF NEGATION
The careful sensitivity of not knowing, an under-recognised attending, ordinarily presently unconsidered. Herein exploring as a mirror of total relationship where, given the paradox of language (the description is not the described), relationship is for, as everything and also completely, affectionately, spontaneously nothing. Free, unbinding, questioning?
“To be personal is to be in want, which is the expression of incompleteness.”
