Not only the idea as such, but also the way you weave all the fragments together, the pictures... I hope you don't mind me asking, do you plan to make a book out of this? because you should, you really should. I was thinking some time ago how to explain a friend why I had gradually come to enjoy japanese novels more than our great modern novels, with their monumental attempt at describing the world exhaustively, that longing for totality which is indeed a heritage of the romantic quest of the absolute. and then I stumbled across your words "from this point of view a bit of dangling string is often far more profound than anything by Michelangelo" and it suddenly made sense. I am totally drawn to your pictures and words on the other blog that you have. Perhaps because they are so much different than what I do, many times even the opposite. you have a gift for condensed and paradoxical expression reminding me yet again of japan, a kind of subtle zen tension playing out not only in the text but between the text and the image too. (I would also ask if this is just a mere coincidence, a casual affinity or you really have a philosophical/religious interest for zen). I am still haunted by this: people rarely came to visit. so in an attempt to gain insight into what it would be like to be a guest, he decided to spend some time in his spare room. now it is doubtful that he will bother to come back himself. and that piece of pillow mirroring the somewhat absurd power socket. and I wanted to say many more things, but I think I will just thank you for sharing all this richness with us. for now.

I can`t recommend Bartas` films enough, i have only recently discovered his work and, though silent or nearly so, he surveys an emotional terrain with far more impact and insight than most. I`m also glad to hear the interviews are being received well, in the coming days i will post some other interesting dialogues and documentaries i`ve come across.

The Bartas video brought tears. Yes, I am an incorrigible romantic. Really liked the Bacon interview, and much more.
