Kudos to Miranda July

Just call this number,
the number you see on your screen...
                
and say "macaroni."
 

Okay? That's all you have to do.
                  
Just "macaroni"and hang up.
No questions asked

You gotta love the charming 'Me and You and Everyone we know', the directorial debut of Miranda July (2005).  An amazing film with a slightly awkward edge to it. Can't wait to see her second feature 'The Future' which has been premiered at the Sundance Festival and the Berlin Film Festival.

Miranda is not only a great filmmaker, she's also an artist and a writer.  Under the spell of her work I started reading 'No One Belongs Here More Than You'.  A stunning book, the first chapters caused me some lack of sleep.. but... got ... to finish it ...



In a July-esque way she jumps from one medium to another and created the online project:

Much kudos to the awesome Miranda July!

A house is a machine to live in

Watersportbaan - Gent

I'm a big fan of Modernist  architecture, but the buildings at the Watersportbaan (Ghent) are a sample of ugly Brutalism.  However, this is regarded as Modernism, you know, the same umbrella under which Le Corbusier belongs...

Short-term convenience

Disposable cameras ..  gotta love them sometimes, but in darkish venues they are just short-term convenience...   The lousy disposable shots were just an illusion of two amazing concerts in the AB in Brussels.  The glorious tones of Caribou lead us to the hazy nostalgia of Beach House!!

In the first part of our trip we explored the North and the Rif Mountains. In Part two we took a step back in time in the cultural, inte...
