I love it when an artist is able to talk. Most directors aren't. That guy is amazing, I'm dying to see his films.

bill viola is such a beautiful mind (: what he said about life and death made me think about this other photographic piece at the 52nd venice biennale by jan christian braun i think, called happy together. he took pictures of all these tombstones decorated for their owners birthdays, mothers day and so on. it was so sweet.

they say you die three times. once when you die. once when your last family member dies. and once when the last person to remember you dies.
