Everyday in every way, I'm getting a bit better
In the film by Emir Kusturica 'Do you remember Dolly Bell?' (1981), Dino, a teenager interested in hypnotism and self reassurance as way for the individual to get from life what he/she wants, uses the sentence ' Everyday in every way, I'm getting a bit better'.
Is the challenge of looking into new ways of knowing that is relevant to this work. I am looking into self-hypnosis, learning by practice so I can understand how it works.
The experience of the general relaxation previous to the beginning of the trance for hypnosis, on the process of learning how to hypnotize myself, has been very rewarding.

An introduction to the second part of Diaries Book
Each one of us is not the same all of the time. We are different to other people in different circumstances. Diaries Book documents the process of knowing the author from other people's perspective and from the author's self perspective.
The idea for Diaries Book is inspired by the work of the Japanese author Murasaki Shikibu.
Diaries Book is a celebration of daily life, women's achievements, fictional biography and areas of knowledge where empiricism is as important as experimentalism.
Diaries Book has been, during the time of making it and since its completion, a way for the author to know herself and the world. The process of making Diaries Book was of major importance. This is the reason behind the idea of developing this work into a second part that will take advantage of the Internet as a medium that permits updating.
The second part of this work expands on methods developed from areas of knowledge where empiricism is as important as experimentalism. The first part used palmistry and astrology (disciplines of knowledge that once in history were accepted as scientific); for this second part, self-hypnosis and numerology will be used as ways of knowing and understanding.
As in previous projects by the same author, the present one also seeks active participation during the process of making work as well as in the finished work. This collaboration can happen by inviting specific individuals (or groups of people) to take part in the process but sometimes participators are unaware of their intervention on the work.
Diaries Book is a work about relationships, about personal narrative that is located between biography and fiction. This second part will also look into fiction, daily life and biography together in construction of a reality. But this time, rather than real actions in life become a story, a made up story will become real life by living it, drawing on ideas and raise questions about truth(s).
The author will engage in a process of knowing herself and those around her. To do so, she will use self-hypnosis to start with.
The rules are not fixed, the work changes itself as it unfolds. The outcomes are left open as much as possible and will result of discussion of the project with others and from problems that possibly will arise. These problems will be solved and make the work change. Errors as well as problems are part of our human life. They should be part of the work as well.
