my name is Nicolaas Jic Schmidt-Doering, I’m an average european guy. I like to document things of grey, but I like color gradients, too. I also like nature. As I live in a city, I’m often watching the clouds or the closed overcast sky, and all types of sunsets and nightfalls behind and above all that various walls and roofs. Right now I look out the window and see: several facades, homes, shops, a cafe, another bar and cars… and everywhere inside these people.
There are humans I somehow like, and also moments I might enjoy, but there’s no time to process it, because in the hours I could, I prefer crying lonely – There are no words to describe these sensations.
I can’t dance or keep a rhythm, I cant sing, I can’t whistle, I can’t wink, I can’t snap with fingers, I can’t puff like horses – basically I can’t do anything. My whole life only consists of permanently distracting from that incapacities, to don’t blow my cover (although I never claimed being able to anything).
What I can do is to question: things, conditions, reasons, consequences, big ones, details, everything – Doubting until total desperation. All I’m interested in is exploring and examining all kinds of boundaries, certainly preferring the lower limits: to avoid all spectacular and superfluous, towards until a nothing.
My hobbies are lying around deep diving, sleeping, dozing. I just like to enjoy pleasant boring stuff, but making those, that’s pretty hard.
I don’t like speaking, especially another language, as it’s difficult enough to express and convince in my mother tongue due to all these non-verbal misunderstandings and my long pauses while speaking (to actually avoid exactly this).
Anyway, I think in structured, ambivalent ways, I can be punctual, ambitious, motivated and I am orderly, reliable, honest, consistent, analogous, different and also resilient in endurance, but barely in forces.
So, I’m available for special missions and/or artsy relevant requests, just message 24/7…
