https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5QhxGyAwcM To truly live in three dimensions you must abandon oxygen; the serenity of drawing breath under atmospheric pressure. To truly live in three dimensions you must seek unfathomable depths, where sunlight cannot penetrate the viscous unknown. To truly live in three dimensions you must conquer your fear, become the master of ancient reflexes that […]

Miracle plays: Ozu, Pound, Herzog
The importance of an unknown Japanese art and its influence. In the eighth contrary of our era the dilettante of the Japanese court established the tea cult and the play of ‘listening to incense’. In the fourteenth century they produced a drama scarcely less subtle: the Noh. I like a lot of Werner Herzog’s works, […]
Caught up by complications and memories and fear. Unable to move. Trapped and locked. Visions gone. No confidence. Escaping into hell and dark thoughts. I tried to help him. From Russian mythology. A bogatyr vainly attempts to break the coffin in which his companion has imprudently shut himself.

Looking round for work, I didn’t get any jobs. Failed interviews. Failed projects. It was disheartening. But no. Tried carrying on with other things though, […]
