The Mysterious Michael Jackson’s Project
In 1983, Michael offered to pay the reform of the
family’s mansion, at Encino. Most of the new projects are Michael’s ideas.
...
Katherine Jackson shares the mysterious project of Michael to his family:
There was a decor project that Michael was determinate to keep in secret.
“Don’t go to the loft”, he kept on advising me. “Loft” was the name we
gave to two little rooms above the garage. It was in that rooms he was
working at.
“Well, I won’t go there”, I assured. Even if I had wanted to do it, and I had, I couldn’t. Michael kept the door locked.
Michael let us know that he was preparing a present to the family in those rooms. One day, finally, Michael said “I want the whole family here. We’ll have a party. I want to show you what I’ve done to the loft.”
Michael did not need to pull no one by the arm to go there. At that point, Joe and the other children were all as curious as me about the mysterious Michael’s project. Michael worked at that loft until the last second.
Even when we were all together in the dinner room that day, nibbling appetizers prepared by his cook Rane, Michael was still walking all around the place with workers, trying to make the finishing touches on that special project.
Something must have gone wrong, because at a certain time I found him in tears.
Anyway, whatever the problem, Michael apparently was able to solve it.
Finally he appeared in the dinner room and seemed much happier. Asking
everybody’s attention – Michael always as a showman – he announced. “I have a surprise to you all.” Then he took us silently out and until the door that gone to the loft. We went upstairs, in line.
I don’t know who the last one in the line was, but she or he must be dying with the expectative. Everyone who get there screamed or cried.
What Michael did was transforming the two rooms into a photographic version of “This is Your Life” (a kind of documentary program that showed people’s life story). Starring the Jackson Family.
“Taking a photo”, said the message on the plaque Michael had put on the wall, “is capturing a moment, stopping the time. It’s preserving us the way we were, the way we are. They say a photo tells more than thousands of words. Thus, with these photographs, I’ll recreate some wonderful and magic moments in our lives…”
Michael had gotten photos of my personal collection. Some day when I
wasn’t around, he entered my room, opened the bag where I maintained
them, and caught them. The amplified images covered every single
centimeter of space on the walls.
“We were all very surprised, very touched. Michael was there watching our reactions; it was obviously very important to him that we liked what he done.”
