Eyes like a shutter, mind like a lens

Life is always full of surprises and we often miss out the smallest of things, most of which define the world we live in. And sometimes life is like a wire-bound notebook. P.S. I'm very fond of handwritten letters. MOI!

Everybody screws up. That’s what happens. It’s what you do with the screw-ups, it’s how you handle the experience, that’s what you should judge yourself by.

I thought Elsa would look great in armor. (I wish I could draw armor better, though…)

512 Hours - Marina Abramović

512 Hours at the Serpentine Galleries, London, was so intense!

Personally, I found it incredibly claustrophobic.It seemed to flutter between solitude and claustrophobia (which distressed me a lot). The setting felt like a place of meditation, a place to relax the soul and slow down. But it's also filled with people, and (for me) even closing my eyes I couldn't feel 'at peace'. I kept anticipating all the people around me, that at any one time someone is watching me as I try to relax. It was really strange, yet completely enlightening and revealing of my own insecurities.

Overall, it was absolutely incredible and so very delightful to also see Marina herself there.

LIGHTS OUT

"The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."

Sir Edward Grey, Foreign Secretary, uttered these words on the eve of Britain officially entered the First World War. Exactly 100 years later we are inviting millions of individuals, households and companies to join together in a national moment of reflection.

We’re encouraging everyone in the UK to turn off their lights between 10pm and 11pm on 4 August 2014 

– leaving only a single light or candle for this symbolic act of reflection and hope.

…all I see are very pointy, pretty long pieces of glass that can be stabbed into someone’s eye and still look decorative.
