Cavedigger Ra Paulette

Ra Paulette digs cathedral-like, 'eighth wonder of the world' art caves into the sandstone cliffs of Northern New Mexico. Each creation takes him years to complete, and each is a masterwork. But patrons who have commissioned caves have cut off nearly all of his projects due to artistic differences.
Fed up, Ra has chosen to forego commissions altogether and create a massive, 10-year project, his Magnum Opus.

Hermit from Palermo. Isravele.

picture by Raija Kalioinen (may 2015)

In 1996 Isravele - the name after which the worker has renamed himself - decides to leave his family and home, in the Zen district  in Palermo in order to retire to Mount Gallo, occupying an abandoned military lighthouse. He recovered the old block and turns it into a personal sanctuary: he built a small altar inside and decorated walls, floors, ceilings with geometric and abstract figures, perfectly harmonious and logical, and mystical ideas. He used paints, concrete, sea pebbles, stones, newspaper clippings and devotional images in a continuous work in progress. Stand out above all the decorations in the hexagonal tower of the building and on the exterior walls. The hermit also worked on the landscape and on the path leading to the shrine, with scattered traces, creating a "holy way" similar to a initiation path.

The Peculiar Case of a Modern-Day Hermit

Virgil Snyder, outside of his isolated cabin

Years ago, I lived in a house in New York with roommates who all seemed to have emigrated to the city with the same goal in mind: to get as trashed as possible every night. They ingested any drug they could lay their hands on, went through women like a baby goes through diapers, and turned our Brooklyn brownstone into a place of such unrivaled squalor that it was hard to tell where the sidewalk ended and the house began. Though I liked my housemates, living in that place was a nightmare. It wasn't so much the 24/7 eurodisco that bothered me, but the total inability to escape it.
