Goodbye Cruel Scene (2026) is a photograph posted to X by Mifella (Spiky DJ) — a single sheet of notebook paper, handwritten and dated, set on a table beside a fan of 100-euro notes. The work documents an explicit scene-departure gesture from the artist whose Mifella sacrifice underwrites the Drifella mythology in the first place.
Close looking
A piece of lined notebook paper is set flat on a pale woven-grey tabletop, photographed from directly above. The paper is creased down the centre fold and slightly curling at the edges. A fan of euro banknotes — at least four 100-euro bills, the architectural facade and EURO type clearly visible, plus the warm-orange edge of what reads as a 50 — lies overlapping the paper’s lower right corner; the framing crops tight to the sheet, with a thin margin of tabletop on every side. The handwritten message takes up the upper half of the sheet, executed in pencil with a steady, slightly slanted print: you don’t even believe this you are just coping with your retarded addiction because you don’t have anything going on in your life. go touch grass. read a book. work at McDonalds. get a gf. this is such a waste of a life. The pencil marks hold a steady weight; the writing has the slow gesture of someone composing rather than venting. In the centre of the page, a quick pencil sketch of a hooded, faceless figure in a small rectangle — the speaker the note is addressed to — is drawn in loose contour, with thick downward arrow-marks and a 5-shape in the lower margin. At the lower edge: June 19 26 and a quick signed scrawl, Mifella, in script. Reads first: the bright money against the grey, the punchline of the gesture. Reads second: the text, which is the picture’s content. Reads last: the small drawing in the centre — the speaker calling the scene-mythos addicted to its own chain, and signing off.
