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.

These were photos taken while on my visit to Manila.

Running on Empty from Ross Ching on Vimeo.

I live in Los Angeles. I drive in Los Angeles. I think about traffic a lot in Los Angeles. A few months ago, I discovered Matt Logue’s Empty LA photographs. I didn’t think much about it at the time, but every time I was stuck in rush hour all-hour traffic, I found myself thinking – What if tomorrow everyone’s car disappeared.” – Ross Ching, Film Maker

M.I.A, Born Free by ROMAIN-GAVRAS

Marina Abramovic

| April 26th, 2010

“For me it was always a question… If we have such a fast life, we have to have long art… I always believe the artist’s function is to connect disconnected society and give some kind of awareness, not just spiritual but where they live…”

“Its so important in life of the artists to know a few things: to know when to stop the work and how to die.”

Marina Abramović’s
‘The Artist is Present’ is a performance retrospective at MoMA, New York, from March 14-May 31, 2010

A Day In The Death of Donny B.

| April 15th, 2010


Cinéma vérité style. 1969

Mostly considered an anti-drug film, it was made for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The film follows its protagonist, Donny B, a young black man who appears to be a heroin addict, as he makes his way through the cruel ghettos of New York City… Through the run time of 14 minutes, a blues-like tune plays over the footage and voice-overs, with vocals that come in and out during the film, narrating Donny B as he does wrong.

BLOK + 441 Mag VIDEO SHOOT

| February 26th, 2010

441 Magazine is a new publication I started with Mariel and Paul Marin (they’re cousins) and tonight we just wrapped up our first video shoot with the band BLOK. Here’s a photo of BLOK. I’m hoping awesome things are going to be in the works with 441. It already seems to be blowing up and we haven’t even produced the first issue yet! This would actually turn me off because of all the hype happening before actually producing anything, but in this case it seems to me that I’ll fine. Either that or I just don’t care about the ‘pressures’ anymore. Be free. Be alive. Do what you want. Rock on Garth. Rock on Wayne. BLING!

Is it okay if I just don’t say what this was about?
I don’t feel like writing about it. It doesn’t need to be explained.

2010 inspirations so far

| January 16th, 2010

I decided to not let this blog die!
All these pictures are part of my latest inspiration folder which I am happy to have on my usb stick cause my mac is broken and I’m pretty much without a computer since 3 weeks…
This is just a little collection of things and I don’t only find inspiration in pictures.
But daaah… I’m not gonna give you all my stuff am I?

“Pékin est pour moi l’antithèse de Shanghai. Plus dure, plus authentique, elle est surtout devenue ces dernières années, le lieu de prédilection de l’Avant-garde chinoise. Depuis mon premier voyage en 2001, elle a bien changé!”

“Beijing is to me the antithesis of Shanghai. Tougher, more authentic, especially in recent years it became the place of choice for the Chinese Avant-garde. Since my first trip in 2001, it has changed a lot!”

Pékin Underground by Alain Le Baquer

I remember the first time I saw this book at Fnac and thought “wow those photographs really inspire me”, I didn’t buy the book back then. Then I moved to Antwerp and decided to search for the book here… It wasn’t in store but I ordered it and about 4 weeks later got the book and I was beyond happy to finally have a copy of it. The book is just beautiful black and white photography with some text about Beijing nowadays or well “Beijing Underground”. It talks about music, art, politics and a couple of more subjects. The book is entirely in french though so I am sorry for you non speaking french peoples.
