“I want to paint the film as one paints the canvas”, the "red desert" 1964, his first color feature film.
for this scene everything was painted grey to illustrate monica vitti's mood.



and his paintings, enlarged photographies and collages of small watercolors, yes, the same technique like used in "blow-up" 1966.

i was a little bit afraid of going back to work in august but an approach and references like antonionis work make me want to start again and even able to appreciate another possibility to work at the look of a film.

thats how my group of four young ladies called themselves whom i had to take care of this morning.

hands & scissors

the way they dress, the scissors, the hands & what they created, both of them perfectly graceful.

L bought a book from C. Höfer, inside so many inspiring rooms, all that space calming us down.

he has been in that gym in leipzig and told me it is as breathtaking as the picture shows, i wish we could live there with a kitchen like that.

lou's soup plate i recently found would fit perfectly in there.

a decision

we decided to finally move forward, out of the building we have been living in for about ten years, yesterday we were told that the heavy construction work will take much longer.
a home is too precious to be avoided for another year!
so today i sent out many, many mails and meanwhile we are trying to adjust our dreamhome-wishes and possibilities.
the first time in my life everything was organised around our appartment, school, work, studio but like my sister said today we have been here too long anyway, time for a change!
before i moved to berlin and stayed just here i used to change apartments minimum once a year.

i feel somehow relieved and very curious where we might end for the next couple of years.

the first and last picture i stole from L's archive, couldn't resist. i don't know where he shot the balloon, can't ask him, he is at work, making pictures, the last one is directly under our appartment, looks like a cathedral.
