Rabbits

This night I ordered this book on "colonization"

Written by John Marsden (although the rest of his book are not apealing to me at all)
illustrated by Shaun Tan (whose much of his work does appeal to me)

Later today I was introducted (through GP, of course:) to poetry of Dame Edith Sitwell, and the first quote I found was:

A great many people now reading and writing would be better employed keeping rabbits

so true, so true

Sopor & the Johnsons

I feel really bad doing this, but there is just how it looks like... (although I think that Sopor's productions are just too unique to be compared with anything. And I think Antony's album, and the rest of his photos in this style, are just too shoddy for my taste)

Cover of the album of Antony & The Johnsons "Another World"

Covers of the album and the book "Les Fleurs du Mal" by brilliant Anna-Varney Cantodea in Sopor Aeternus & The Ensamble of the Shadows

Extraordinary artwork by Anna-Varney and Joachim Luetke
(go to Sopor Aeternus section. In December I ordered album "La Chambre d'Echo", together with the 128-pages book with photos, and I'm still thrilled and enchanted. But of course I was pissed off at the execution - they have destroyed so many brilliant works by using 2 pages for one photo!!! You get this awfull bend in the middle. And some photographs/paintings just do not tolerate it!)

Dancing metaphors

Today I was supposed to watch this movie



Inside I'm Dancing by Damien O'donnell

but my friend showed me this



Epilepsy is Dancing by Antony & The Johnsons

and I just had to dance:)

But there are always at least two directions

Some things are just one

Promenadologie and Spacerologia

Lucius Burckhardt

"We are conducting a new science. It's founded on the idea that the environment is normally not perceived, and if it is, it tends to be in terms of the observer's preconceived ideas. The classic walk goes to the city limits, the hills, the lake, the cliffs. But walkers also traverse parking lots, suburbs, settlements, factories, wastelands, highway intersections on their way to meadows, moors, farms. Coming home, when the walker tells what he has seen he tends to speak only of the forest and the lake, the things he set out to see, the things he read about, had geographical knowledge of, or saw in brochures and pictures. He leaves out the factory and the dump. Strollology deals not only with these prefabricated ideal images, but with the reality they eliminate."
