Ich war in Berlin

| August 27th, 2010

Berlin is a strange place, my visit was too short to say if I liked it or not. I have to go back for sure.

castles in the sky

| August 25th, 2010

castles in the sky is the title of this movie. i’m not going to provide a description about it because the trailer speaks for itself. i just need to get my hands on this dvd. it makes me wanna travel, experience new cultures, talk to strangers, listen to the stories they bring with them, see the skies from different parts of the world, breath fresh air, be shocked, be inspired and just really, to see what the world has in store beyond my own shores. and i love the accompanying track of the movie’s trailer, really beautiful. anyone knows what the song is called and who the musician/band is?

These were photos taken while on my visit to Manila.

sadly, i see myself and many of you in these various artworks. always on the run, not easily contented with what is, always seeking for more, so very often make attempts to run away from reality, knowing that it is faster than our furry feets but choosing to pretend that it isn’t. when the time comes and our sore legs are unable to bring us any further, reality is right there, in full view again.

update: just read up a little on the artist’s bio, “Tetsuya Ishida (born in June 1973, Shizuoka) was a Japanese painter who died in 2005 after being hit by a train. (Possibly Suicide)” What a waste and loss to the world of art. imagine what other works he could have come up with, perhaps artworks with more technology-related elements implemented. that would’ve have been really interesting, don’t you think?





for more of Tetsuya’s amazing artworks, visit Pink Tentacle.

Just stumbled upon this documentary of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
He looks so happy and nonchalant.

I actually liked the movies that these guys were in.
