DJERBISM POSTAGE is work composed of custom stamps, filled with stills from PONKS’ work DJERBISM, an experimental video poem about the heat-fuelled sunrise that engulfs the Southern island of Tunisia. Djerba sunrise slowly flips up sits up on the whole sky swallows you below like a thick drink just cool enough to take down. A pink simmer on your lashes on empty heads of the morning checks, innerly, that harshly touch, nourishing baskets on the bud of an argument. A hand, a weight, a decision. The impossible skin of a lover that came the night, the avenue of ceramics erect at Guellala down to the sea and the sand The mothers, making tent for the summer. Tomatoes, cucumber, onion, oil - tossed. Forceful action. In the middle of the road beyond fear and loathing A blue, blue real and yellow skins wondering for Nothing.
