Akan is back

Akan reprend le flambeau: sauver les femmes et les enfants.


After long weeks of fight against censure and intolerance, Akan, Antablog’s daughter, is coming back, stronger than before, much more motivated to tell about anorexia and Art.

That was a very rude summer for Akan: she thought she was losing Antablog threatened to be deleted by Bluehost because pornographic content.

A sort of nightmare!

Files have been deleted by Bluehost without any consideration and respect of copyright and ownership rights.

Thanks to Sol, Akan’s husband, who wrote immediately to the Better Business Bureau’s Online Complaint System: BBB of Utah.

His complaint was successful reviewed by a specialist at the BBB and then forwarded to Bluehost for their response.

To avoid another very bad publicity, Bluehost was constrained to leave access to Antablog’s database for its transfer to Jushost.

Then Akan retrieved for 48hours access to her files and databases, in order to transfer her websites.

Antablog intellectual property was safe.

So It was a excellent lesson for Akan, anorexic artist, working for women rights, against child abuse, crime wars, runaway persons rights, street workers rights, that she had to choose carefully her web host in order to be not hunted and banished as a witch on the blacklist.

Writing about anorexia and photography, shooting nudity, has nothing to do with pornography, but involves social-political contents which can be easily hidden and shut up by phallocratic, hegemonic, talibanic, capitalist, unilateral power.

And Akan knows that anorexia detains a subversive content, which she wants to analyze to raise untold words of anorexic women.

There’s nothing to say.

- Pure beauty.

- (From Metacafe) Four minuten / Chris Kraus 2006:

{“A draconian prison piano teacher (Monica Bleibtrau) finds her dormant passion stirred by a firebrand inmate (Hannah Herzprung) and her ability to knock out a Beethoven sonata (when she’s not beating up prison warders).

However, both women have dark pasts which will have to confronted.

Herzprung is simply superb as the combustible con in a tough watch that bears sticking with.”}

“Unsolved deaths” or “Fox chewing off its paw to escape from a trap?”

As I used to work a long time on  forensic descriptions of cold cases,  for my Artwork, I was thinking about to draw my interest to another REAL subject:

“The Fox chewing off its paw to escape from a trap.”

Honestly, after knowing the brutal end of Jane DOE and John DOE, I was expecting nothing can be worse as a distressful death,

suffering considerable state of neglect and totally ignored by the humanity  -  but I was wrong.

Of course there are thousands of horrific matters of death for the humans and for…. the foxes…..

“The propensity of foxes to chew their legs off to escape a trap is extremely frequent.

Does it mean that  foxes get the awareness of imminent death  far quicker than the humans?

One thing is quiet sure,  foxes never give up.

Crime scene.

I cannot admit it’s real.


Humans are barbaric beasts. Earth is a dangerous place to be for foxes and… for lost people.

Une hirondelle en cellule

Le mardi 13 juillet 2010, Akan est descendue à la ville pour chercher les médicaments dont elle est accoutrée depuis quelques années.

Fluoxetine, Atarax, Temazepan lui servent de boulet pour la tenir en vue, en probation.

Akan les avale quotidiennement avec impuissance et crédulité, pour “aller mieux”.

Cependant le pharmacien ne trouve pas les drogues commandées et convaint notre héroïne de revenir dans 3 jours.

Déçue d’avoir été oubliée encore une fois, Akan se rend au centre commercial dans le but de se délester de son malaise en soustrayant d’un étalage un objet encore inconnu d’elle même et symbolisant le réconfort, les caresses d’une mère invisible.

- Un objet étalon de son manque et fétiche de sa victoire sur la douleur du manque.

Elle s’engage sans aucune détermination, sans énergie, avec l’envie compulsive d’être enregistrée par une caméra de surveillance capturant l’évidence de l’offense.

Peut-être aura-t’elle la chance de se faire arrêtée par la police, seule à même de noter son existence minuscule, sa trajectoire kamikaze.

Elle se sent vieille, laide, désespérément triste, finie.

Son corps maigre et trop veiné ne retient plus les regards en arrière.

Si des yeux la remarquent c’est pour juger de sa gracilité quasi cachectique.

Avant les hommes se retournaient sur son passage tant elle était jeune, racée, élégante.

Aujourd’hui, malgré la même silhouette, l’élégance innée, les gens ne la remarquent plus, car elle a vieilli et cela lui vaut d’être transparente, insignifiante.

Les hommes ne cherchent que la chair adolescente appelante, celle qui promet des délices les plus interdits.

Le visage ne compte plus dans ces rues où la survie de l’espèce passe avant tout language.


Le 13 de ce mois d’été est la veille d’anniversaire de la jeune fille au tatouage, et Akan n’arrive pas à gérer cette date, tant les liens qui l’unissent à la gamine tombent à terre dans des flaques d’eau.

Ce lien secret aurait dû aider Akan à vivre et assumer la réalité, mais il enlève toute vie, toute joie, toute paix.

L’enfant au bras tatoué l’a reniée, rayée de son vocabulaire affectif et lui fera payer le prix d’avoir été une mère anorexique photographe.

Akan ne pensait pas qu’un jour sa fille aînée la trahirait, lui reprocherait d’être une artiste et sa mère en même temps.

Aujourd’hui les rêves de pérennité et d’immortalité se sont effondrés, plus rien ne sera plus comme avant.

Akan sait désormais que son oeuvre sera oubliée.

L’hirondelle sait que tout est perdu.


Cette conviction toute fraîche donne naissance à un chagrin angoissé, venant de nulle part et s’installant comme un smog aveuglant.

Il arrive qu’une branche assassine son arbre.

Alors Akan entre dans un store de produits de beauté et s’empare d’un panier rouge en plastique qu’elle remplit de laits pour le corps, de masques hydratants, de crèmes de nuit, de crèmes anti-rides, de lotions anti-âge et sort du magasin avec allure et détermination, passant les portes de sécurité, en déclenchant une alarme foudroyante.

Les heures suivantes Akan est au poste de police, confrontée à des interrogatoires, des prises d’empreintes, d’ADN, des flashs de caméras, des heures en cellule vide.

L’hirondelle captive.

Pendant cet après-midi là elle s’apaise enfin dans ce nouvel enfermement la retenant au monde, lui disant, “tu existes car tu as transgressé la loi”.

Tu as été remarquée, entendue, ton cri a été entendu.

Et cette prison vaut tous les bras humains par le silence et la paix.

Son corps maigre devient vivant dans cette cellule apparemment vide et cependant pleine de cris et de colères passées, de peurs et de regrets.

Akan se rend compte de sa propre réalité humaine.

Elle admet cette prisonnière en elle.

Ses mains, ses bras longs et fins, ses genoux osseux, tout son corps devient une sculpture vivante et profonde et Akan découvre sa vérité la plus solide.

Akan feels very bad on the 13th of july 2010 in the afternoon, unable to deal with anything around her.

Her body has been suffering the last hours; the exhaustion caused by the insomnia and the lack of fluoxetine, has grown for the worse, to give birth to a dark absent mood, and endless sadness.

Akan comes down to the city to purchase drugs she has been using for a few years.

Fluoxetine, Atarax, Temazepan are prescribed to her to control her mind.

She admits them with impotence and credulity, “to getting better”.

However the pharmacist does not find the ordered drugs and convinces our heroin for returning in 3 days.

Disappointed to be forgotten once again, Akan goes to the shopping mall with an aim of relieve herself from her terrible faintness by withdrawing a displayed unknown item, symbolizing the peace, the safety, the caresses of an invisible mother.

- An object symbol of her lack and fetish of her victory over the pain of confusion – .

Akan enters in the huge commercial gallery without any determination and any energy, with the compulsive desire to be recorded by a CCTV camera capturingthe obviousness of the offend.

Perhaps will she have chance to be stopped by the police force, the only one able to notice her tiny existence, her kamikaze path.

She feels old, ugly, hopelessly sad, finished.

Her thin body does not retain any more the glances behind.

If eyes notice her it is to judge her cachectic slenderness ratio.

Before the men were turned over on her passage as she was young, racée, elegant.

Today, in spite of the same silhouette, innate elegance, people do not notice her any more, because she is mature and for them she’s worth to be transparent, unimportant.

The men seek only the appealing teenager flesh, that which promises most prohibited delights.

The face does not count any more in these streets where the survival of the species passes above all language.

The 13 of July is the day before the birthday of the young tattooed girl, and Akan does not manage this date, so much the bonds which link her to the “gamine” fall to ground in puddle pools water.

This secret bond should have helped Akan to live and assume reality, but it removes any life, any joy, any peace.

The child with the tattooed arm has disavowed her, striped her of her emotional vocabulary and will make her pay the price to have been an anorexic photographer mother.

Akan would not have thinking that one day her oldest daughter would betray her, would reproach her to be an artist and her mother at the same time.

Today dreams of immortality crumble, nothing will not be the same.

Akan knows from now on that her work will be forgotten.

This very fresh conviction gives rise to a distressed sorrow, coming from nowhere like a plugging smog.

It happens that a branch assassinates its tree.

Then Akan enters in a store of beauty products and takes a red plastic basket that she  fills of milks for the body, hydrating masks, creams of night, anti-wrinkle creams, lotions anti-age and then leaves the store without attempt to pay, passing the security doors by setting off a striking down alarm.

The following hours Akan stands at the police station, confronted with interrogations, flashes of cameras, hours in blank cell.

During this afternoon she finally finds relieve in this new retreat into silence retaining her far from the world, telling her, “you exist because you transgressed the law”.

You have been noticed, heard, your scream has been heard.

And this jail is worth all the human arms by silence and peace.

Her thin body becomes alive in this apparently empty cell and however full with cries and passed angers, fear and regrets.

Akan realizes her own human reality.

She admits this captive inside her.

Her hands, her long and fine arms, her bony knees, all her body becomes a human sculpture and Akan discovers her main genuine truth.
