a first boost of inspiration… minimal… trashy and real!
August 12, 2009
Dear friends…
this summer sucks…
breaking up if so painfull it feels like dieing! The pain is not fading!
August is a “good-bye” kind of month and it always brings out the nostalgy that will follow up till mid -end october, leaving space to a cold winter…
these days I am not on holidays anywhere… all my friends stood me up. Nobody gives a fuck or is too busy surviving. So now the time has come for me to do my shit regardless of the others and stop saying always yes! SO here I am saying NO to useless phone calls, silly requests, miserable date offers and boring conversations.
I will have my holidays and they will be spent in Berlin, at home, with the phone off the hook and no e-mails and work. No blood suckers around me any more. Just lazy sublime nothing. A soft summer breeze, a video camera, a photo camera, inspiration and me.
Here is a first boost of inspiration… minimal… trashy and real! after the jump you can see the other four parts of the video as well. enjoy.

Hello, here an “abstract” ***** poem. Modern… maybe not. Delicate… depending on the point of view and interesting… not really, exept for the fact that often people do and say things that mean more to them in the moment when they say them, than they ever really do or would to anybody else. If anybody has a similar need to share their own futile exercises in “puke the emotion out the wrong way”, then please feel free to post it/them here. Read the rest of this entry »

Sticky and sweet concert in Berlin – 28.8.2008
October 9, 2008

I’ve been to the concert in Berlin. Had regular tickets and made it to the second row in the golden circle. I could decide where to stand so I went to the right side of the stage, right after the top of the catwalk ended. Its more or less the same spot I went to on the Confessions tour in Hannover two years ago. The stage in stadiums is pretty high, although the catwalk is a bit lower and that is a bit frustrating for the neck. I remember the catwalk being much lower in London for the Confessions tour.
Anyway… The two hours passed by really Read the rest of this entry »

In Paris, just a quick movie away
August 4, 2008
Dear friends,
Here I am, in Paris. It’s holiday time mixed with some pleasure working too. I am here to chill and shoot my new video with my dear friend Olivier, aka: Pipi de freche. I will keep posting all the news in these hot Paris days. I landed at about 11 am and made my way through the city’s subway system all the way from Orly airport to the opposite extreme far end of the city, in the north. The weather here is great. I hope it stays that way for the external shots. We did some quick costume tests today and then I basically went to sleep for a couple of hours because I hadn’t slept much last night. Gotta be fresh for tomorrow
Love,
Ivan
