I feel a bit like my brain is turning to mush due to not being at Uni any more. Blah, need to put down the sci-fi and pick up something slightly more academic I think.
Things that are good today include:
++
Wierd/cute photographic tour of an abandoned hospital. ++ The trailer for 'Coming Home' by Neorotic.
I've been chatting to the guy who made this and I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole thing. It's a trailer for a porn film but you would never guess because a) There's no naked-ness in it and b) It's so beautifully done.
Also it's set in an abandoned hospital [spotting a theme yet?]
++
Blood + art "I often combine scientific images and materials with more domestic or familiar ones. The ornamentation of wallpaper or the design of a doily lends a sort of relief in its familiarity and pleasing pattern. This juxtaposition creates a response that fluctuates between seduction and repulsion, comfort and alienation."
