Visualization of the poem "the bluebird" by Charles Bukowski.
"
the bluebird
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he’s
in there.
…
then I put him back,
but he’s singing a little
in there, I haven’t quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it’s nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don’t
weep, do
you?
…
"
The bluebird who is not allowed to escape in fear of showing emotion is visualized by being printed on the inside of a t-Shirt. His position is where the human heart is and through the sheerness of the fabric he can be seen, but is never fully revealed.
Addionally to the T-Shirt there is a booklet illustrating the poem through typography, photography and illustration.
