Fecho os olhos, lembro a noite. I close my eyes, I remember the night.

SOMEWHERE TONIGHT WE COME ALIVE

I’m running along the river and stop when I catch sight of this large digital clock in the distance. Something about being in this particular time and place makes me nostalgic and unexpectedly, deeply sad. I stop, out of breath, and my face becomes flustered and wet with tears.

CAN'T YOU READ THE WRITING ON THE WALL

Derek JARMAN Imagining October (1984) Super-8 and Video transferred to 16mm
