love is like life but longer

watch first, then read:



so i watched this little film, and couldn't help but notice the amazing settings
the white hotel rooms
the blue blue hallways
the beautiful restaurant and intimate club
the very purple foyer
and the great views
then i realized that this film was commissioned by the mondrian soho and morgans hotel group
so smart.. this film is basically a commercial for these hotels (i think it was shown on opening night)
amazing

cutting up books
probably on the list of the top ten things not to do while growing up
along with giving your siblings hair cuts and chopping up your mom's pearls... whoops

explanation of process:
'In this work I begin with an existing book and seal its edges, creating an enclosed vessel full of unearthed potential. I cut into the surface of the book and dissect through it from the front. I work with knives, tweezers and surgical tools to carve one page at a time, exposing each layer while cutting around ideas and images of interest. Nothing inside the books is relocated or implanted, only removed. Images and ideas are revealed to expose alternate histories and memories. My work is a collaboration with the existing material and its past creators and the completed pieces expose new relationships of the book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception.'

jr's ted prize wish: use art to turn the world inside out

'you've been here for a few hours now, trying to understand this, discussing with your fellows
during that time you haven't think about what you're going to eat tomorrow
this is art'

i had seen some of jr's work before, the photographs in brazil, which i thought were amazing from when i first saw them

but, after seeing these videos i think i've have gained an even greater appreciation for jr and his project
