toothbrush, disco lights, westbahnhof / lapa günü

yes; i do surprise myself. each day.

just a night that i am sure i am not going out at all, i spend the whole night out. meeting lovely people, listening to some dubstep, "next level beats :P, and portishead! for god's sake! Clemens has such a comfortable house - made for his kids. Kids drwaings are adorable. HE got these disco lights for the kids; and it works magically on me. And this other person, MAnfred, is i guess a good Dj. Must find that out before I leave Vienna. And Chris is very semantic. That is the final decision. I do not remember the name of this other person who fell in love with my socks.

İch verstehe jedes wort. so c told me that I should say this. And i started to say it. and i am saying it.

but then we watched endless things. Black Books, my favorite was this time rivaled by IT CROWD! and then some HOUSE M.D and then a film in between. some mexican spanish i heard. and all in between i sleep, trying to recover from a cold. actually staying under the blanket all day really worked. i feel the energy to go back to work. my hands are excited to use the tablet again for a new collage.

i really liked the huge couch. but for that couch one needs a huge home. for a huge home what does one need. but i just would be fine with a little room with high ceiling in istnabul. close to my studio. it is so weird that i enjot time by myself so much more as time goes by... well, enjoying a night out is hilarous, too. i guess things balance each other soemhow.

but those south african white rappers were just too hilarous to watch.

the little market at westbahnhof was still open around 10pm.
and i start to take my antibiotics.
too many associative thinking going on at the moment.

all i could think was this animation as i was avoiding to get sentimental over a friend's heartache.

oh my stomach was upset but now it is better.
rice worked. rice with lots of water. meaning: LAPA

dreamstate / shut your eyes and see / svankmajer


the start of the film took me by surprise.
all my urges was there; jan svankmajer expressing it all.
and keeping a chronometer:))
ok; he is family! we are relatives!

1.why would one ever spare time for contemplating upon dreams
2.walking with eyes closed - an exercise i have been doing on the streets of vienna at nights after midnight especially when there are no cars - no one - so i count how many steps i can take without opening my eyes - and do i trust that the street will still be solid and when i open my eyes : did i walk in a straight line or which direction is my inclination?

some orientation between the heart - mind / between the dreamstate - conscious? state.

the mixing up of dream and reality that comes closest to my experience of it was hilarously expressed in this movie.

hilarıous!
and it is just a scandal that i fell asleep in the final scene.
so still so curious what happened in the ned?
but i guess i was so much satisfied with the beginning that i chose to dream the rest.

the animated pictures of freud and jung were just too amusing!!!
freud closing his eyes when the women psychoanalyst is taking off her clothes to "treat" her patient.

girl power / twist of magic / rocket jump

Spiklenci slasti / Conspirators of Pleasure
Barevný, 35 mm
Česká republika, 1997, 75 min
Sekce: Pocta Janu Švankmajerovi


spiklenci slasti/jan svankmajer; vegetable dinner with coconut sauce (ella's specialty); mom made schnapps (from the mountains); going over ideas for new works yet to come; the wind oh the wind; the dance of a table cloth; people getting cold

and it feels just -in place - to be back in the first house that i have ever stayed in vienna.
i believe the objects are alive with souls maybe everywhere but especially in this house they have a twist of magic.

we go over idioms of flying. watch excerpts from documantaries.i learn about the jumps in games.
and the Jan Svankmajer - Spiklenci Slasti - Conspirators Of Pleasure
and it reminds me somehow of kieslowski: "the double life of veronique"
so we watch the excerpt where he is moving the marionettes; and she watches his reflection as he is controlling the marionettes...

and i tell ella about my plan to do this story - interview on flying... i construct it as i explain it; finally.

thanks, ella.
