Diary 2021 (141) October 19th/20th Mistress Jenny back home

Tuesday, October 19th, I went inworld again several times during the day. I roamed around, had two failed roleplays, then I decided to use my time for a simploring tour – and it was a nice one. I enjoyed exploring a new sim and immersed into another world. Just great.

In the afternoon I met with Mistress Jenny for about 15 minutes. Her connection was and she had to enjoy her vacation. Hence we just caught up with our mutal news, then Jenny went off again.

I returned inworld at night. Mistress Jenny, Sun and Flo were present and after we caught up with everybody’s news and had our hugs, Mistress, Flo and I played a round of Skipee, Flo won again *winks*. Sun and later also Alessi watched us.
We went to Psi’s realm where slave Holly joined us when she came inworld.
Our Flo had had some strange visions lately, seeing a black hooded woman following her or crossing the room where we were. It seemed that we had to find a therapy. The most simple therapy would be to simply restrict her view. And as Flo hadn’t yet have the RemVision experience, I bought one for her and I set it up with Flo that night. So her absent view with the red lenses in the picture of that night are due to the RemVision and the 1st slideshow she watched.

Mistress Jenny had to leave to enjoy her last vacation day and I had my hands full at Psi’s realm. Sun had forgotten one of her rules and I made slave Holly spank her bare bottom to remind her. So that was also a bit of fun, I admit.
Otherwise we had a quiet and relaxed night.

Wednesday, October 20th, was another day I spent with quite some time inworld, often idling and doing other things in RL. I had a continuation of my blackmailing roleplay and as it looks now that will go on, slowly but steadily and developing. It will be fun – I hope.
Other than that I also spent time in RL, not pictures of the day.

At night pet Sun and Flo were present and I first dressed Sun who I had left naked and a bit tied up the night before, then we went seeing Flo, who was at the skipee table. Of course my night started relaxed with a skipee with Flo and Sun at my leash kneeling next to me. The skipee did take very long and we weren’t done yet when mistress came inworld being back from her vacation. Alessi had joined us and we all went to Carnal Intentions where we spent the rest of the night. Faye was there shortly. And after Faye Flo and Sun had left for bed, slave Holly joined us.

We spent the night chatting and catching up.

Anything else? Yes, before we went to bed, Mistress allowed me to lick her and to get my fix. She makes sure that I stay addicted and that I fall deeper and deeper. And then Mistress Jenny unlocked my sub collar and locked the slave collar on me – taking me into a red light before our wedding anniversary. I hadn’t expected that, but Mistress does as she sees fit. Mistress Jenny is back.

Art in Second Life 2021 (105) “Fusion Evolution” by Etamae

It’s been a while that I saw anything from Etamae. Last year I had quite some blogposts about Etamae and her art. I visited her Eta’s Feed Your Fetish Gallery (see my blogpost here) and her Extempore Gallery and Lounge (read here). I saw her contribution to the joined exhibition of April 2020 at La Maison d’Aneli (read here). I saw her “little boxes” at Hannington Art Foundation (read here), her “Memories of a Foreign Reality” at Itakos Project Art Gallery (read here) and in January 2021 I saw her exhibition “Waves of Silence” at DixMix Gallery. (read here).

Etamae is in Second Life since January 2016. She’s from the UK and began transforming her pictures from the things she has seen and loved in Second Life into something else, in digital art in 2018. Etamae is not defined by just one style or area of art, she plays with different patterns and tries herself out in a broader spectrum of art. Like all other exhibition of Etamae “Fusion Evolution” at the DixMix Gallery is once again something new. Etamae proves her attitude to try out herself and to further develop her art.

The exhibition “Fusion Evolution” is located in the room Abby at DixMix Gallery. It consists of about a dozen partly quite large pictures. The walls of the room and the floor is kept in black. At the walls you see reflections and light effects coming from two turning pictures located the corners of the exhibtion room. This way Etamae’s pictures develop a certain dynamic as the light effects mix into the pictures around.

All pictures are very colourful, and have strong colours thus contrasting to the dark black room, they a seem to be made of different layers. Some of the layers move and change so that your get permanently a different perspective. Although you can’t really recognize it, Etamae herself is the model who’s face you can see peek through in many of the pictures. She made herself part of her art, evolving through a feast of colours and abstract forms.

Etamae showed again her ability to play with different techniques. I enjoyed my visit a lot. Her artwork is intriguing. Thank you Etamae!
Thank you Dixmix for providing and curating the DixMix Gallery, thank you Megan for building it and for contributing at it.
The exhibition “Fusion Evolution” by Etamae will stay open until mid of November.

Diary 2021 (140) October 17th/18th Family time

Sunday, October 17th, I spent some time inworld in the morning. Aneli Abeyante had invited me to visit La Maison d’Aneli. The current exhibition there was just set up and I could see it before the opening on October 20th. Read about the exhibtion here.
After my gallery visit I met wiht Sun at Puerto Esclava. We chatted about the night before and about her feelings and experiences. I had put Sun into a chastity belt and bra and she dislikes that, what didn’t surprise me. She thinks it is clumpsy and she can wear anything to hide it. I can understand her bad feelings about it. But then even more I like and enjoy it that she wear them for me. Before I had to leave to tend to my RL I brought Sun to Lochme and leashed her to a slave parking post. I set a hoover text above her head “Feel free to spank me” and I set a one hour timer.

October 17th: Diomita and Sun at Puerto Esclava

I was busy during the day and returned inworld at night. Flo, Sun, Alessi and slave Holly were present. I started the night with a skipee. Flo, Holly, Alessi and I played, Holly won. I used the time to talk with and relaxed. After the game we went to Psi’s realm. Domina Ansar and elena were there and we had a bit of main chat as well as we chatted among us. Mistress Jenny came inworld but lost her connection just when we all had finished our welcome rituals with her. We returned home and as Mistress didn#t show up again and after Flo and Sun had left for bed, I took Alessi and slave Holly to Carnal Intentions with me. it was a quiet and relaxed night for all.

Monday, October 18th, I was inworld several times for a short time, yet nothing happened until I returned in the afternoon. I had missed Mistress who had logged in while I wasn’t inworld. Then I ran into the one, who I began a blackmail roleplay with – she was blackmailing me. And the roleplay continued. Of course that was the moment, Mistress showed up again. She insisteted that I continued and we caught up with our news in private chat.
The roelplay developed quite exciting, I admit. Inbetween I returned home to see Mistress Jenny at least and she added a little reminder of who is owning me *winks*. Thank you, Mistress. Then she sent me to go on with the roleplay. It was a long session, in total I spent 3 hours with my tormentor.

October 18th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home

My night started with a game of Skipee with Flo, Sun watched us. This time I won it :-). I took Sun and Flo to carnal Intentions and we tried hard to get some mainchat running but we failed. slave Holly came inworld and she joined us.
When Mistress came inwrold we returned home as her connection was bad, but she had left when we arrived. We stayed at home for a bit and chatted. Then we moved to Psi’s realm and Mistress returned back inworld – but could join us there.

Diary 2021 (139) October 15th/16th The pet cage

Friday, October 15th, I had one hour with Mistress Jenny in the afternoon. We spent it at Heavy Bondage Club, where Faye and later also slave Lily joined us. We cuahgt up with our news and just chatted. Faye desired to get her collar loosened a bit to gather strength for more restrictions (or just for variation). Anyway, we granted her wish. So she could roam around without us for a few days or longer.

October 15th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club with Faye and slave Lily

Mistress Jenny and I also talked about our Friday night party and set a theme for it: “It’s Friday night again. Time for our party. It will be a clear sky tonight with a full moon (at least at our sim), so wear something white be seen – or come as you are of course. DJ Virgo is spinning the tunes.”

We had a nice party, even Mistress Jenny joined us for a bit.

October 15th, Friday night party: Diomita, Mistress Jenny, Maurer’s pet Sun, Flo, Domina Ansar and Elena (Elenaslv Serenity), sapphire (littleShy97), Ebony Massey and and Elena, Samantha (SamanthaCa) (upper row), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Tsuki Takeda, Sara (SaraRandall), Baroness Capelo, Claven Albatros, Laura (Laura00175), Virgo Babii

I had a varied Saturday. I was inworld in the later morning and had a few chats. In the early afternoon I met with Mistress Jenny at Heavy Bondage Club. we caught up with our news, then we moved on to club Domme a Domme. To my surprise Mistress leashed me, which is her was to order me at her feet. But she not only had me at her feet, she made me crawl and kiss the floor. And it got her some attention – and made sure that I won’t forget my position.

October 16th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage Clun and at club Domme a Domme

Then Mistress had to leave to continue having fun in her vacation and I had to tend to my RL for a while.
I returned before dinner and met with Sun at Puerto Esclava. we just chatted, then I had to pee urgently and I took pet home with me as slave Holly wasn’t available. I guess Sun enjoyed it and as I gagged her with my soaked panties, she had my taste for longer.

October 16th: Diomita and Sun at Puerto Esclava and at home

At night, Flo and Sun were present and we gathered at the games tables. Mistress Jenny joined us there for half an hour and we all talked about her vacation. After she had left, Flo and I had one round of skipee (Flo won it again). While we played I had Sun strip for me and put her into a transportable cage, a pet cage. I took Flo and Sun to Carnal Intentions after the game and i had fun teasing Sun with the various toys the cage had to offer (anal hook, gag, dildo….). We had a nice night at Carnal Intentions

Enjoying Bondage October 2021 – at our Stonehaven patio

For this month enjoying bondage pciture I selected the outcome of a short enjoying bondage night, that took place at our stonehaven patio on Wednesday October 13th. Mistress wasn’t around that night respectively came inworld late. I had Faye, Sun, slave Holly, slave Alessi and Flo with me and I lined them up at our Stonehaven patio wall. There was just one gap left between Faye and Sun. Instead of summoning another sub or slave I added Mistress Jenny with slave Holly and myself kneeling at her feet from Sunday, October 10th. Finally I added myself as I had all the work tying up our subs and slaves.
Hence here it is: Enjoying Bondage October 2021 – at our Stonehaven patio

Diary 2021 (138) October 13th/14th Spontaneous bondage night / Diomita in trouble / Floor shows

Wednesday, October 13th, I was inworld a bit erratically. In the later monring I had a short but enjoyable roleplay at Puerto Esclava. After lunch I logged in again but was distracted by RL and when I returned to the keyboard I had been logged out. Mistress Jenny was inworld during my absence and left a message. I returned home as Faye was inworld. She had a few busy days in RL and hence we hadn’t seen her for a while. I took her to Carnal Intentions and tightened her restrictions – we both enjoyed my control *winks*. I had two nice chats at Carnal with other guests, one praising Faye’s helpless state.

October 13th: Diomita at Carnal Intentions and at home with Faye

When I had to tend to my RL again I left Faye at the wall of our Stonehaven patio, having something in mind for the night.

At night I had a skipee with Flo first and Sun watched us. It was a close game and hence fun. I took Flo and Sun to the Stonehaven patio. Flo was caught by the wall picture. I place Sun next to Faye, who happened to come back inworld at the right moment. slave Holly and Alessi came inworld just when I was done with Sun. Hence I placed slave Holly next to Sun and removed her chastity belt. Then I wnjoyed watching Alessi how she made our slave Holly cum – entertaining on one side … and it felt also good on the other side to see Holly enjoying it. Afterwards I locked the belt back on and placed Alessi between Flo and Holly.
We had a visitor that night, the sissy Angela Neximus. As she was watching us all the time, I rezeed a dancing cage and had her entertaining us. Well her but was not as firm as the butt of the guy we saw the night before at Carnal Intentions – but to make up for it, the sissy ahd a hard on *winks*

October 13th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at our Stonehaven patio with Faye, Sun, slave Holly, Alessi, Flo and sissy Angela Neximus

Sun and Faye left quite early and Flo left at her usual time. Then Mistress Jenny joined us and we could catch up with all news. It was a relaxed little bondage and fun night.

Thursday, October 14th, was quite different by accident. I went inworld after lunch and roamed a bit through the clubs. None of the family was present and I didn’t expect Jenny being inworld during the earlier afternoon. At Dark Butterfly I saw a woman, let us call her “J”, wearing something like a combat uniform that reminded me of Lara Croft. I came into contact with her and a very intense roleplay began. “J” pushed me more and more into the corner aksing questions about a missing file she was looking for – and finally she overwhelmed me. Once in control she had several threats on stock for me and I was already thinking who might be able to pay ransom for me.

October 14th: Diomita in trouble with “J”

During the roleplay Mistress Jenny came inworld and we caught up in IM. Mistress insisted that I continued my roleplay. Unfortunately she said she hadn’t enough cash for a ransom. Oh dear! But I was lucky and could sell my body, well more my tongue “J” released me after I licked her to a perfect orgasm *winks*. After a (virtual) shower I went seeing Mistress Jenny at home. Faye was also inworld yet she couldn’t move an inch. I was Mistress Nice again and lifted her restrictions a little bit so that she could roam. Mistress and I retreated for a kiss, then we both had to log off.
Overall, that was an unexpected afternoon.

My night was unexpected too. I thought I could extend the bondage night. When I came inworld, Sun, Flo and Ebony were present. Ebony was cleaning the house and Flo play cards (what else? *giggles*) and Sun was still leashed at the Stonehaven patio, just as she were when she had to leave the night before quickly and unexpectedly. I unleashed Sun and went seeing Flo, Ebony joined us. We caught up with our news SL and RL, then Flo and I played a game while Sun and Ebony watched. It was a close game and Flo won it in the end. Ebony had left in the meanwhile and Sun didn’t have much time that night so she went off after the game too.
slave Holly came inworld, also still leashed at the wall of our stonehaven patio. Hence Flo and I went seeing her. I decided to take Flo and Holly to Carnal Intentions. A good decision, as there were 3 shows ongoing, 2 couples where fucking and a boy was dancing for us. I even lifted slave Holly’s viewing restrictions for a while so that she could also watch – unexpected fun.
Flo left – Faye came inworld and joined us at Carnal Intentions.

Finally to crown the day, I took slave Holly with me to our skybox, used her as my toilet and for a nice orgasm. Just as it should be.

Art in Second Life 2021 (104) Mindstorm by Bamboo Barnes

I got an invitation to see Bamboo Barnes newest exhibtion “Mindstorm” at IMAGO Land – gallery 3, that opened October 6th.
I had visited IMAGO Land in April 2021 the first time (read here). IMAGO Land is a moderate homestead owned Mareea Farrasco. There are several skyboxes that are used for exhibitions. Bamboo Barnes exhibtion “Mindstorm” is in gallery 3. If the direct landmark doesn’t bring you to the skybox, use the teleporter at the landing point to get to gallery 3. And if you’re there – don’t miss out to see the other galleries and IMAGO Land itself.

Back to “Mindstorm” by Bamboo Barnes. The exhibition consists of about 15 pictures arranged along the walls of a large squared exhibition room. In the center is a big dance floor, I assume it was used for the opening event. The inside area is decorated with huge golden figures that liven up scenery.

All pictures show female faces or upper bodies under a layer of coloured abstract forms or objects or other pictures, thus providing several levels of how to look at the pictures. By the layers the pictures also develop a 3rd dimension. And – as I had expected it from Bamboo Barnes, the pictures are all very colourful.

Impressions of “Mindstorm” by Bamboo Barnes (1)

Bamboo wrote about “Mindstorm” in the accompanying notecard that she had been working on this eries of pictures for several years. She added a short text, that conveys her own feelings about “Mindstorm“:

“When you are feeling low, isolated, misunderstood.
Look at your disturbed soul pretending it’s never hurts,
the ocean of the pain’s roar to sweep all the goodness from you so you can feel the bottom.
Like the wind & the tide, there are no keys to open the sea, keep you face over the surface to keep the breath.
When the sun’s up your skin is dry, start feel it’s in the past, then the life goes on, there’s another day.

Don’t know what will come tomorrow, beneath the surface there is mindstorm.

Wish the best for you.
Bamboo Barnes”

Impressions of “Mindstorm” by Bamboo Barnes (2)

Bamboo is in Second Life for over 14 years already, painting software & photoshop are her best friends. Bamboo had many exhibtions and appearances in the Second Life art scene and in 2018 she had her first exhibition in real life: “I create what I see but maybe you won’t, they are about people’s reality and  mind.” Bamboo’s art is a mixture of abstract forms, of people and photographs. Most pictures are colourful and it is in the eye of the beholder what we see in her pictures. I myself saw her work the first time at La Maison d’Aneli during the Holiday season 2019/2020 (read here). I also saw her exhibition “Marginal Mannerism” at DixMixGallery in April 2021 (read here), the exhibition “Meant to be” at Itakos Art Gallery last year (read here) and I saw “Conjure” at OCUS Magazine F.A.I.R Gallery in August 2021 (read here). I also had a look at her flickr page.

Thank you, Mareea Farrasco for providing the space for the arts at IMAGO Land. Thank you Bamboo for another great exhibtion of your artwork. The exhibtion will stay open until end of November,

Dairy 2021 (137) October 11th/12th Watching table dance

Monday, October 11th, I met with Mistress in the afternoon for 2 hours. First thing Mistress did was putting me into am armbinder again, then she left and summoned me to club Delust. We caught up with our news there. Then, to my surprise, Mistress removed the armbinder and unlocked my slave collar, replacing it with the sub collar. I was speechless first. It might have been the shortest red light in years. Anyway, a reason to smile. Mistress does as she sees fit.

We roamed that afternoon, we were at club DeLust, at Puerto Esclava, at Heavy Bondage Club, at club Domme a Domme and at Dark Butterfly. We watched, read profiles and chatted. I was a relaxed afternoon at Mistress’ side.

October 11th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club DeLust, at Peurto Esclava and at Heavy Bondage Club

At night pet Sun was present and I took her with me to Puerto Esclava. Later Mistress Jenny and then Holly joined us there. When Puerto Esclava was shut down for a restart we went back home to our terrace and had a nice chatty night with slave Holly and pet Sun. I announced that I planned to spend the next night at our dungeon and slave Holly’s dry British humor made us laugh once again!

Sun: oh yes
Diomita Maurer: well, Holly, then you just follow the screams tomorrow night
slave Holly (honoursgirl): yes Mistress Diomita
Sun shivers
Diomita Maurer: no worries, I assume that Mistress with leave the order that I don’t break her toys during her vacation
Mistress Jenny: you are free to play with our toys how you see fit as long as you replace and breakages, Diomita
Diomita Maurer: thank you, Mistress
slave Holly: worry sis if you see Mistress Diomita in the pet store looking for black puppies
Sun giggles
Diomita Maurer coughs laughing RL and SL

After Sun and slave Holly had left to bed, Mistress Jenny and I spend some time at club Domme a Domme.

Tuesday, October 12th, Mistress started into a one week vacation. I was lucky to catch her online in the morning. Thus I could spend some relaxed time with her at Puerto Esclava and at home.

October 12th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Peurto Esclava and at home

I had some time roaming around in the later afternoon, and I went shopping as I saw a nice outfit. When I returned slave Holly and shortly after her pet Sun came inworld. I took them to Carnal Intentions for a short time. Back home I selected an outfit for pet before I went off to tend to my RL

October 12th: Diomita with slave Holly and Sun

At night I first had a skipee with Flo, Alessi and Sun watched and I had a long break for RL unexpectedly inbetween. When we had finished I took Flo, Sun and Alessi to our dungeon. Flo was licked by slave Alessi and I was licked by our pet Sun. That was a nice start. slae Holly joined us and Flo left for bed. I had just placed Sun on the uneven bars and made slave Holly lick her ass and pussy when Mistress Jenny came inworld. We both watched the show.

We went to Carnal Intentions when the girls were done. And there we got the next show – table dance, first featuring a male alone, then a couple and finally 2 males. There was main chat going on and the show was great to watch while we talked amoung us.

Maurer’s pet Sun aka. Newlifeloading

In the Diary post “Diary 2021 (136) October 9th/10th The collaring of our pet Sun” I wrote about our newest family member Maurer’s pet Sun (Newlifeloading). Some readers might have found that I published something about our pet in the section “Our subs”.

I met Sun Boucher (Newlifeloading) end of 2020 the first time. I don’t remember where anymore and I just have the transcript of the private IM. She must have been dressed in a way that underlined her butt as I approached her making a remark about her butt. I wanted to provoke her and to find out on which side of the leash she would feel comfortable. The next time I saw her, was in the begin of August and then one week later we talked a bit more.
Sun told me that she’s from Denmark and that her SL changed when her RL changed and prevented her to come inworld during the day. Henceforth she had little contact to her partner in SL (Manella Boucher) and to her family in Second Life. Sun was a submissive to Devi (deviant1), who I know from several encounters, but was not owned by her anymore. Sun is the (SL) daughter of Essa (Essanem Spark), who I also know from a few encounters and who is the partner of Devi.
Sun joined Second Life almost 2 years ago on October 29th, 2019 and she was quite addicted spending almost her whole days in Second Life. During this time she learned a lot, not only about herself but also about the technic of Second Life, about places and about shopping. She learned how to do things. She owns a place to retreat to in Essa’s sim, she loves to sail her own boat, to ride her own bike and she accumulated a large wardrobe. Sun defines herself as a switch leaning towards the submissive side. She has been educated at Roissy Val d’Oise.

Mistress Jenny and Diomita with pet Sun (Newlifeloading at Carnal Intentions, at Psi’s realm and at Puerto Esclava

After our first longer conversation I invited Sun to our Friday night party and she followed my invitation and joined our party on Friday, August 13th. Since that day she is with us. Sun is an obedient girl who loves to be controlled very strictly – thus a perfect match to us. She knows her place, loves to serve and to please. She follows orders willingly and also enjoys more than just a little bit of pain. She had been a ponygirl for quite some time and was eager to be a puppy. I warned her that she should be careful what to wish for, but she was too curious. A few days later Sun became our puppy, our pet. I restricted her view, her talking and her hearing, and I trained her.

Mistress Jenny and Diomita with our pet Sun at Puerto Esclava and at home

Being a helpless puppy can be a very intense experience and we kept Sun as our family puppy for 3 weeks. That was long enough to grow her complete submission to us, long enough to realize that she lost control, but not too long to fully extinguish the desire. For sure Sun will have more puppy time with us. Her time as our family puppy also led to a closer realtion to Mistress Jenny and me and to our family. Consequently we took our pet into a trial on Friday, October 1st.

We collared Sun as Maurer’s pet Sun on Saturday, October 9th. Welcome to the family, pet.

 

 

 

Art in Second Life 2021 (103) Escape by Sophie de Saint Phalle @ Nacotic Concept

After I published my post about the exhibition at Narcotic Concept (read here), I had contact with Spohie de Saint Phalle (Perpetua1010). And she told me that I missed another exhibtion of her at Narcotic Concept. There’s a so called “Red Room” where Sophie installed “Escape”, an exhibition which I saw last year at Sophie’s own gallery, the SUBCUTAN Art Gallery and Multimedia Centre. I wrote about it here.

Now this exhibition is re-installed at Narcotic Concept. This provides firstly to visit it for all those who missed the first installation, and it provides to have another look at it for those who saw the first installtion. Although the base is the same, the new installation is different – not only because the room is different. Also because the impressions are more effectful, going deeper, if you immerse into “Escape” by Sophie de Saint Phalle.

ESCAPE is showcasing black and white photos of a RL performance. Sophie de Saint Phalle put a big canvas (4×12 meters) on a stage and painted it in front of the visitors. Behind the canvas 10 professional dancers were waiting to cut the canvas and force their bodies through the openings to symbolize the escape from suppression, humiliation, brutality, disrespect and most of all the escape from indifference. At the end of the performance the canvas was cut into strips and sold.

The direct landmark to the red room brings you close to the exhibition. You have to go “through” a secret (phantom) door in the wall. The door is where a Statue of Liberty is displayed on the wall.
Please activate advanced lighting model and activate media for the full and right experience.

Impressions of “Escape” by Sophie de Saint Phalle (1) – upper left shows the entrance (the door in the wall)

The room itself has a red floor and red light elements, something that contrasts well with the black and white pictures of the performance. The pictures are arranged along the walls. Transperent curtains with the pictures are suspended from the ceiling and they move a bit permanently. By the curtains you see several layers of pictures interfering with each other.
Right at the entrance is a video screen with a short film by Sophie that reflects the theme: The architecture of terror, escape from dictation, escape from war, escape from abuse, escape from discrimination – think freedom. In the film Sophie mixed real life pictures with scenes from the performance. The film can be seen on youtube here.

The pictures are not raw photographs but are processed and show how the dancers break through the canvas.
Sophie de Saint Phalle wrote (on the back of a chair in the exhibtion: “With escape I want to take you into the world of terror and tragedy, into the reality of the true and unjustifiable essence of terrorist fanaticism. I want to show you the destruction behind and in front of the veil

Impressions of “Escape” by Sophie de Saint Phalle (2)

Sophie de Saint Phalle (perpetua1010) is a Austrian RL painter and book author. She mainly paints nude from models and abstract art. She loves to experiment with different kinds of paint and lithography. Her favourite materials are sand, plaster, glue, terracotta, stones, bones, ash, charcoal, natural pigments and more.
Sophie has made several book illustrations and was for many years political cartoonist for a well known satire magazine. She lived and worked in the Unites States, Australia, Rome and Monaco.

You can also watch a video about the exhibtion on youtube here.

Narcotic Concept is a quite unique art place in Second Life as it features mostly the art of RL artists. It’s kind of a bridge between the virtual world of Second Life and the physcial world. With the exhibtion it can be proved that RL art can develop it strength also in a virtual world where light effects and the arrangement of the pictures can be done in a different way than classic exhibitions. I want to thank Lunhea and all others who worked to enable showing the exhibition “Escape” by Sophie de Saint Phalle in Second Life.
