So tonight you may see
To make black holes prominent, zero in on them, eliminating busy and distracting life forms in
the background. And for maximum impact, it is vital that there be a strong contrast between the void and the vision that defines it.

In looking for stars in the sky, it is best to see how they align with each other, since this interaction can add tension to the world.
* * *
The secret to using patterns creatively is to find ones with variations, or extensions beyond the edges of fate.
* * *
Look through surfaces at different times of the day, then shift the light towards human faces at a sharp angle, creating a multiplicity of shadows that highlight their unevenness.
* * *
Organize the elements of a tableaux to achieve a purpose, whether it is to express a dull moment or to convey an ugly situation.
* * *
Focus on a shining star in a classic fashion. It will become visible because of its central position, because it subordinates other bodies less heavenly.
* * *
Increase strain in the eyes by selectively cropping subjects, as though ready to race off from memory.
* * *
Search for still lives everywhere there is dread and pleasure, from underwear and heartbeats to cemeteries and discotheques.
* * *
Think about what is interesting and use that as a theme. If there is nothing, then do not see anything.
* * *
With voids one must respond quickly. Focus right away on its meaning by having hopes high and ready.
* * *
Use a foreground element to create a hole within the frame. It does not only emphasize a subject but also imparts the feeling of its lack of depth.
* * *
Heighten the dreamy atmosphere through strong delusions, provided the exposure is set for the dramatic parts of a scene.
* * *
Squint the eye when viewing an eclipse and pre-visualize the result: in-between darkness.
* * *
Use extra care to prevent the world from being turned into a silhouette by the backlighting of a crashing star.
* * *
Cast shadows by people — they are evocative yet anonymous. The figure casting the shadow could be anybody.
* * *
If the sun itself is the subject of gaze, take a reading of its brightness from the dark clouds surrounding it.
* * *
Read fortunes frequently: the more curious the future the more imperative it is to bracket the past. And the present: a full-stop in either direction.
* * *
In order to make voids visible, picture nights when the sky is clear and the moon is missing.
* * *
Move in close towards nothingness and fill it with big shapes and loud colors, keeping the horizon high so that there is more ground than sky.
* * *
Push the void farther away from vision. This way it becomes more apparent and merges with the real world.
* * *
To protect vision, always look from a safe cover. It is next to impossible to see anything unless waiting with a patient eye and a dead finger.
* * *
Act quickly once a black hole is spotted. Produce a greater saturation of colors by releasing the light from the world.
* * *
By carefully choosing a line of vision, isolate light in order to achieve a striking balance between one’s self and its simulation.
* * *
It is best to set up sight where the light is not too strong and memories are moving too fast, preventing overexposure.
* * *
Stand alone reading this paper on a clear moonless night, in a place where there is no light from buildings and streets. As the earth rotates, the slowly shifting position of the stars will be recorded as black streaks of ink — a constellation of signs.
