My blog has a vague format. Because in this structured innerweb, I find peace with blurred visual and textural content. Much like this photograph I took recently for a 4 month project I am working on (keep posted!)

still from Red Desert 1964

Michelangelo Antonioni

Visual impact can be noted as the source of motion pictures.  Compared to the vivid manipulation of ideas rolling onto a screen, much like Antonioni compiled in Red Desert. Hysteria and faded imagery of factories nearly blinding reality. In a fanasty we escape, only to find we are the eye watching distortion of reality bleed into our encompassed souls. This thought originates from what is not apparent, instead it is derived from bits and pieces sneaking into our individual minds.

Could this be brain-wash discoveries?

Or simply…our ideals of self blurred.

I shot a short video (link below) for a friend with many of these ideas in mind. Imagery being distorted and reflective relations emerging. Although my short is only a glimpse into the hyper-cyber interconnected world we live in. It is a step in hopefully discovering more of what lies beneath. Keep tune for the tracking of experimental progress.

- Who Are You? -

Thank you Chicago for an amazing time!

If you ever wondered

What’s behind the curtain

The whispers of the night…if you only listened

The bubble proudly glistens

Afraid we stand aside

Knowing that if pressure is presented

It may pop and never existed

Much like the dream

We remember vividly

Speak word for word of what we linger on the tongue

As if the tanned skin were touched by the sun

Proof

Poof 

Only if we wondered

Let go of the summered 

Mumbling out terrified applications of false allegories 

Temporary 

Lost 

In dreams of rhythmic like schemes 

Bubbles float away 

Left the reflections of lakes

Hiding behind capes

Curtains are pulled

No dreamer shall be fooled.

taken 6/12

When we wait to develop a roll of film,

the time disolves

the darkness falls, once again

deeper

darker

translating all that was absent

just to remember

we are here again.

(rushed poem for the ones who once sinned)

sweet photo, sweet girl .
