  1. Andrzej Żuławski – „Possession“ (1981)

    Diesen Film vergesse ich mein Leben lang nicht mehr. Auch weil ich schon lange erwachsen war, als ich ihn zum ersten Mal gesehen habe. Für mich war das noch zu früh. Ich habe ihn zuerst einfach nicht verstanden. Und ich weiß, ehrlich gesagt, auch gar nicht, ob es mir heute gelingt. Deshalb nähere ich mich dem Film auch nur vorsichtig. Mit geschärften Sinnen und bei vollem Bewusstsein. Denn dieser Film von Andrzej Żuławski ist kein Ehedrama und kein Horrorfilm. Es ist ein Exorzismus des Patriarchats, gefilmt in Beton und Blut. Mit Isabelle Adjani und Sam Neill. (ARTE, Neu!)

  2. Diagnosis: Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

    After self-diagnosing, I got an official diagnosis. The victory of the official diagnosis was upstaged by the foot trauma two days previously, which I now know is a broken bone. However, at lest it’s in the same limb as all my other orthopedic trauma and severe arthritis. That’s really my saving grace right now — it’s a familiar injury. Adding another new mystery set of symptoms would be less welcome than rehatching an old burden.

    Anyway, back to the art. I love some of the light interactive properties here that are hard to capture in a scan so:

     

    Reflective properties close up, gold paint in the eyes, green metallic reflection for the dark around and in the eyes. The shimmer (ultra fine glittering particles) in the green ink are vibrant blue, and in the blue zebra stripes are color shifting, right now a rose.

    Metallic version of the hardware in my leg — I looked at my own x-rays for reference!

    Final close up.

  3. In honor of it being nearly Halloween and inspired by @wendigo, figured it was time to post my favorite horror movies (a couple are franchises, because I can't really choose certain ones, I dig em all).

    Tough to narrow down to 10, but having all of them in Letterboxd certainly helped.

    1. Texas Chainsaw (any)
    2. Hellraiser (any)
    3. Dawn of the Dead (original or new)
    4. Night of the Living Dead
    5. Cabin Fever
    6. Slither
    7. They Live
    8. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
    9. In the Mouth of Madness
