the ambassador of pain*

fight club is more than a movie and more than a book – it’s a cult, a philosophy that (maybe) will open your eyes and make you (almost) smart,  capable, and, most importantly, free…

remenber: “we are defined by the choices we make”
to do list:  “we have to stop living a boring, robotic life where everything is a copy of a copy of a copy… we have to wake the fuck up and understand that life is not what they’re telling us.  society is feeding us a lie – and that lie has to stop, today… now. there’s no more time for bullshit, no more time and no more tolerance for mind washing. we want the truth, we want freedom – not slavery…”

so, if:

1. you’re not your job.
2. you’re not how much money you have in the bank.
3. you’re not the car you drive.
4. you’re not the contents of your wallet.
5. you’re not your fucking khakis.
6. you are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

welcome to fight club!

“stii de ce e dezordine in lume? pentru ca nu e ordine in dumneata. (…) nimeni nu e in ordine. ma uit la toti in jurul meu si vad ca pierd si ordinea in care au fost. si totusi: fiecare poarta asupra sa ordinea lumii; daca tu faci ce trebuie, pui in ordine si restul…” marturisiri ale lui constantin noica.

” i think i could turn and live with animals, they’re so placid and self contain’d| i stand and look at them long and long.| they do not sweat and whine about their condition,| they do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,| they do not make me sick discussing their duty to god,| not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,| not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago| not one is respectable or unhappy over the earth.”—walt whitman| leaves of grass

grab, drag, drop

the turn is a new interactive website by the multi-media artist & singer fred viola. hexagon and circle shaped videos are turnable. for example, if you want to watch something that’s in an upper panel, click on that panel and it will be turned so you can watch it right side up. this site was developed in collaboration with the  aer studios.
the turn.tv, has won a prestigious laus award in the category of interactive. aside from winning the grand laus, which is the highest award of the whole “interactive” category, the site also won silver in “corporate websites” and gold in “interactive innovation.”

the imagery was inspired by the arrival of summer. “ there’s a smell of heated wood from the forest and all the trees are in bloom” . (…)  i enjoy working with professional and mass-market equipment. most important is to keep things always very simple, says viola

mia: don’t you hate that?

vincent: what?

mia: uncomfortable silences. why do we feel it’s necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?

vincent: i don’t know.

mia: that’s when you know you found somebody special. when you can just shit the fuck up for a minute, and comfortably share silence.

from pulp fiction by tarantino

mia: nu urasti chestia asta?

vincent: ce?

mia: tacerile inconfortabile. de ce simtim nevoia sa vorbim despre tot felul de cacaturi, doar ca sa ne simtim noi bine?

vincent: nu stiu.

mia: asa stii ca ai gasit pe cineva special. atunci cand taci dracului din gura pentru un minut si te bucuri confortabil de tacere.

dreams of flying*

“when we are no longer children, we are already dead” - constantin brancusi
so, happy bday, sweet child!
jan von holleben’s photographs make nostalgic dreams like crossing the desert on the back of a dog… come true

inspired by classic childhood books as well as modern superheroes, jan produces ‘dreams of flying’ since 2002 with children from his local neighbourhood in south west germany.

“i want to question and challenge traditional views on childhood and how a child defines its own being. i want to show a possibility of documenting childhood in a child friendly and respectable way in opposition to popular visual representation of childhood which is mainly directed by adults…

(…) i also want to introduce a very playful attitude to photography” – jan von holleben.

jan has won a number of photography awards in the uk including an observer hodge photographic award, a lucie award in n.y and so on…
