'Arthur Rimbaud In Verdun' - A fiction constructed out of interest as to the possible outcome, places the French poet Arthur Rimbaud (who died in 1891) at the historic and tragic battle of Verdun in 1916. The idea being that Penny found something to be explored in the possibilities of the young vagabond and his perception of such drastic events.

‘Shut the F++k Up’ is a ‘lockdown meditation’ movie created by Penny Rimbaud. In his own words, the piece is ‘a journey to the nowhere that is our true home, where the universal devours the individual and the light shines yet creates no shadow. In short, nothing is quite what it seems to be.’ Available as a free download

'How?' is a question that seems doubly pertinent in our pandemic planet. 'How?' is Penny Rimbaud's answer; a scream of defiance against rampant capitalism and the 'buy now, live later' culture that it has spawned. But hey, normal? The show must go on, and it is our own horrific indifference which will allow it to do so. Kick back.

"A message from the ether - whatever the darkness, it is ours to hold onto the light." - Collaboration with Richard Russell can be heard on FRIDAY FORVER by Everything Is Recorded

If words were arms to better enfold, then perhaps... or if just once we knew the stoppedness and were sure of it. We weave daisy chains to embolden night, then claim we never knew. Freedom is release, total embrace, no give, no take, just a love entire. Clouds gather - we too.

In the material sense, the future comes and the past goes quite regardless of our engagement with either. What we make of this is an entirely different matter, although, of course, in any real sense neither exist.

The knower alone knows the known. The truth is never told beyond the teller. Lies, then, are common currency. Any spare change?

In the materialist maze, answers merely compound the question and great deception takes form. In the beginning…
