a blow up pool
with water and feet in it
is what I remember from that day
and the bits of grass in the pool
and the sun
shining on me in a way
that I took personal
like it was more violent to me than it was
to the girl across the yard
with the knuckle tattoos
too far away for me to read of course
not a single hand shake all year
not a single comment
on the softness of my palms
but the feet underwater
they touch the same
I still remember my voice in the hallway
when I told you
that the use of negative space
is a key element of artistic composition
the way you rolled your eyes at me
was so specific
you said negative space is silly
and of course you were right
so I didn’t talk for some time
and I could not enjoy the art
still I kept nodding at the frames
I stared assumptions at the fresco
trying to come up with a way
to make it right
while you moved on
into other rooms
I didn’t know
Watch Shakers play two songs in the second outlet of our Konglomerat Session series. They’re some of my best friends and I’m very happy that I could finally make a video for them.
My good friends in Shakers invited me to film this teaser for their debut Album I Need You To Know. I could work alongside the talents of Thomas Pirot who shot the album cover at the same set.
I bought an old analogue dv camera and made a short supercut of some stuff I filmed in December and January.
I made a little teaser for the tour of cool living and la petite mort/little death.
An extreme closeup of Anselm Kiefer’s artwork.
New work for La Petite Mort / Little Death. One of the best and nicest bands around. Some dear friends of mine decided to start a label called Konglomerat Kollektiv. I’ll support this project with a series of live session videos and this is the first one.
I’m happy to share this Melting Butter Session for YC-CY, a noise band from Switzerland. Camera and edit by me.
