bookworm beijing

Desde a chegada que tem sido work work work....mas, e dentro de uma minuscula tentativa de descoberta desta cidade, que parece não poder nunca ser medida ou adivinhada, fui apresentada a um bar, livraria, biblioteca, restaurante, (onde bebi o primeiro Cosmopolitan da minha vida)....you can sit, read, take the books home, have reading sessions, drink a cocktail, talk....

Um mundo ainda por descobrir, mas o encanto começou com este canto!

smog city

.....o sol é uma bola cor de laranja, o céu uma sopa de cinza e branco: Smog City Beijing.

Mas no dia de chegada a cidade deu-me as boas vindas com dois raros dias de luminosidade e sopa de azul e branco.

the lake

photo Ryan McGinley

In spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide world a spot
The which I could not love the less -
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that towered around.
But when the Night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot, as upon all,
And the mystic wind went by
Murmuring in melody -
Then--ah then I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake.
Yet that terror was not fright,
But a tremulous delight -
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define -
Nor Love--although the Love were thine.
Death was in that poisonous wave,
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his lone imagining -
Whose solitary soul could make
An Eden of that dim lake

Noe Kidder, Marc Gallay - Drawing from Sources

Noe Kidder, still from MWOQB

No passado Sábado, dia 7, conheci Noe e Mark e com eles aconteceu, a modos de fairy tale, um curto workshop onde se falou de cidades invisíveis, de luz, da vida normal, de tempo, de chocolate, do trabalho de vídeo, do individualismo versus partilha criativa, das metamorfoses dos objectos quotidianos em excruciantes experiências to the public according to Marc, do sentido de perda em modo naif de Noe...e....e....e.....assim subtilmente aquele Sábado foi um Black Mountain College day...

NOE KIDDER
Enigmatic and still intuitively comprehensible, Noe Kidder's films spread strong images with evocative power, expressing the inexpressible in reduced pictures. A tree, a suitcase, a puppet, a candle: familiar objects becoming symbols. Memories of childhood, shelter, but also departing and separation emerge from the pure material forms and their combination. Noe Kidder's artwork reveals secret knowledge of life, of nature and human spirituality in subtle notions. Marc Gallay added sound to some of her films, intensifying their immersive effect trough gentle compositions of voices and natural sounds.

MARC GALLAY
Marc Gallay chose the role of the unseen commentator, never visibly speaking in the films he makes. Even when he appears on the screen, his face is kept hidden, he always is voice-over. He contributes sound compositions and narration to various film projects, his sound-work always being on par with the visual component, if not the predominant part. Like a poem, softly told, imagination and fantasy are explored. The content of Marc Gallay's narratives often stands against the harmonious semblance of the visuals, eroding their superficial peace.
