Mots - Overcoming
it blows
the light
blows
Fuck
thinking on ones
feet
broken
The great surge
the great wave of
relief
passes...
Light returns
though
sure
to go
again
Francoise Dorléac
par David Bailey, May 1967

Song are like tattoos
Big Yellow Taxi.
That was once all I knew about Joni Mitchell and I guess because I didn't love it I did not need to look further. Then I heard the album 'Blue'.
Highly personal, an introspective testiment as to what genuis music, music that comes from the very core can do.
Joni has this ability to make her voice do all kinds of leaps and bounds, becoming an instrument itself and just as important if not more so than the chords of her guitar.
Pointless to explain and go through the history behind the songs, it is all Joni, it is all beautiful, powerful and pure.

Art is Sanity I
First Visit
The connection that I make in my work are connections that I cannot face.
They are really unconscious connections.
The artist has the privilege of being in touch with his or her unconscious, and this is really a gift.
It is the definition of sanity.
It is the definition of self-realization.
Louise Bourgeois, 1998-9

Symmetry
Every frame, a perfect still - often the danger with taking stills from Jodorowsky's films is the desire to capture them all. Which can lead them to loose their strength they attain in the flow and succession as they appear in time through the film. Also as stills there is no control in the lenght of time that each frame is shown to the viewer.
Jodorowsky has such a gift for symmetrical compositions and colour. Weird and wonderful, the imagery he depicts is so full and rich it can leave you slightly overwhelmed, but ever fuelled with a melange of the bizarre the beautiful and the grotesque.
I love that you never know what to expect next, there are no boundaries he does not, or indeed fears to cross. He does literally blow your mind.
Thank you Simon B for introducing me to the world of the Jodorowsky !
