i watched The Virgin Suicides. i liked it, but it didnt live up to the hype everyone has cushioned around it. so many photo shoots and editorials that i have loved claim to spur from this film, but i can barley grasp the resemblances. it felt like a shrine to Kirsten Dunst's beauty. they didnt give enough to the other girls, in my opinion.

Round Rainbow

One of the first major inspirations in my life.

*its titled Round Rainbow and the artist is Olafur Eliasson*

"This prism device transforms a gallery into a dynamic space bathed in rainbows of light and shadow. In a work that is scientific in one respect and sensual in another, the installation brings a phenomenon usually experienced in nature into the museum, encouraging people to interact with their environment in new ways."

Inspiration

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery--celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: 'It's not where you take things from--it's where you take them to'". -Jim Jarmusch

i am obsessed with Maya Deren.








She made, directed, and acted in films in the 40s. she is awesome and exactly who i want to be.


also, i LOVE Bjork. this video is INCREDIBLE. watch this. BUT MAKE SURE YOUR VOLUME ISNT LOUD AT THE BEGINNING. because there is a beeping alarm going off and you will hate it.
