Music | Mostly classical, jazz, rock, indie, punk and drain gang. |
Books | It's hard for me to pick any favorites besides Proust. I love the way his sentences slowly unravel the memory of the narrator, capturing fleeting moments and then suddenly he drops a line of such pure wisdom that it can even turn the dullest observation into something timeless. It's beautiful but very demanding to read, so lately I've been reading Flannery O'Connor's short stories and Joan Didion's essays which I really enjoy for their unspoken tension and liminality. |
Film/TV | My favorite movies all seem to be about alienation and urban life in some way or another. Another recurring theme is fragmented narratives: Take Out, News From Home, Short Cuts, Hardcore, Mulholland Drive, The Last Picture Show. |
Interests/hobbies | Going to sports events or gigs and hanging out with friends over drinks. Learning languages and drunkenly try to start conversations with native speakers. Experimenting with photochemistry and alternative printing processes. Reading about art (especially CoBrA, Tachism, Informalism etc.). |
