movements and moments

watching my 91 year old grandma play tetris on my 14 year old gameboy
watching my dog bark at me and not knowing why
taking photos of the tops of winter trees
eating salad with bread and prawns

conversations

one gigantic leap without any time spent actually thinking about what we’re doing and where we’re going as artists
if we’re even that

the approach seems to be keep it moving fast fast fast as fast as possible, so fast no one notices we don’t actually know what we’re doing
i agree with fake it till you make it… to some extent
but it’s like we’re/ they’re trying to internally fake it as well
and you do have to ask yourself, ‘what are we doing?’ ‘where are we going?’ ‘what’s it for?
‘

mmm we dont have the skills to be doing what we’re thinking. which means what we’re thinking is only half way there….

for me at least, the best stuff comes from doing, then thinking.

Alexander
yeah me too
but i’m not totally against thinking beforehand
the aphorism, ‘plan extensively, act quickly’ holds very true for me
i’m going to do an interview with a pregnant singer i barely know
i’ve proposed it to her
we spend 6 days together
6 hours i mean, hahaha
but that would be interesting!

6:45pm
Alexander

she has agreed
and… see what happens
