Diane Arbus exhibition at the Jeu de Paume...
If I had to pick two images from the exhibition to reflect my feelings, these would be my choices : The portrait of Borges, as labyrinthine as his mind.  See the curves of his tie, the branch of tree which seems to cross his head…   And this portrait of a boxer where it seems that the punching bag is punching the man. Portraits where the individual can be seen at the same time as...

Time Travel
“We do not move in one direction, rather do we wander back and forth, turning now this way and now that. We go back on our own tracks …’ That thought of Montaigne’s reminds me about something I thought of in connection with flying saucers, humanoids, and the remains of unbelievably advanced technology found in some ancient ruins. They write about aliens, but I think that in...

Susan Sontag: On Photography
 “L’appareil photo est une espèce de passeport qui gomme les frontières morales et qui lève les inhibitions de classe, libérant le photographe de toute responsabilité à l’égard des gens qu’il photographie. Tout l’intérêt de photographier des gens tient à ce que vous n’intervenez pas dans leur vie : vous ne faites que leur rendre visite. Le photographe […] ne cesse d’essayer de coloniser de...

Observing life is an artform and it’s called “documentary”. Pioneering Scottish filmmaker  John Grierson(1898-1972) is often considered the father of documentary film and credited with coining the very term “documentary” in his review of Robert Flaherty’s film Moana in the February 8, 1926, issue of the New York Sun. His 1932 essay “First Principles of Documentary” argued that cinema’s...

Confessions of a product CEO: The age of emotions →
via tariqkrim be sure to read the whole post… “For most of us, this social life is not fulfilling. I see some people leaving Facebook, people leaving even all form of Internet connection, but in fact what we need is a new set of services that helps us slow down. I have been advocating for such services for the last years, hoping that more people would join the Slow Internet Movement...

"The world is made of stories, not atoms"
Read the whole article “Monoculture: How Our Era’s Dominant Story Shapes Our Lives” by Maria Popova … ‎”The independent life begins with discovering what it means to live alongside the monoculture, given your particular circumstances, in your particular life and time, which will not be duplicated for anyone else. Out of your own struggle to live an independent life, a parallel structure may...

Taryn Simon: Shot True “It’s human nature to look for purpose or an answer in everything and I think it’s unconfortable to accept purposelessness. I think I am constantly trying to find some sort of truth or reality and it does make you question this thing that we all kind of rest upon which this is searching for…a reason”  Taryn Simon questions meaning and...

The blue of longing →
I’m meeting with on of my former teachers today to talk about a project we are working on together. In preparation for this meeting, she asked me to read Rebecca Solnit’s book A Field Guide to Getting Lost. I was really blown away by this passage: “For many years, I have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, the color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything...
