"His work over the last 30 years has revealed constant manoeuvrability combined with a desire to puncture received ideas about the way in wich we consume images and the way we treat people who claim to be able to transform experiences."
Liam Gillick on John Baldessari

As everyone knows, Jeff Wall is one of these photographers that mantains a strong relation with painting. We could say that he kind of treats the frame as it were a canvas, though in his interviews he explains how he failed in the purpose of not being a photographer. He is one.
I was thinkin of him as a modern Giorgione. As the venetian artist, Wall seem to produce works that are particulatly difficult to analyze,even though i don't find it strictly necessary, and i could imagine him live in the same era,work exclusively for a private collector that jealaously never quits looking at his "own" photography.
I know his references mostly come from painting of the 19th century but i'd like to know what he thinks about Giorgione and the way he depicts the human being and his relation with nature.

I was in the car going from the airport to my father´s. It was back then that i started to feel unease. The same feeling is still there,even though it decreased.off course. I couldn´t understand why these people didnt break into big properties and either steal and kill or kill and steal. Next time i listen to some southamerican boy that talks about how dangerous south america is(for him that is so rich)I.
The sun goes down.The fear must go along our days,this is prize we gotta pay for this.

Aguirre the zorn gottes

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nrP7g18OwcE
Tonite I watched Aguirre the wrath of god.
Be a man,even if your destiny is tragedy. Be a man.
The best scene: Aguirre is the only one who stands up on the boat,everyone else is starving,weary and having allucinations. He goes toward one one of his man,he grabs him and lift him up and goes back where he was.
Probably the best anti-hero of cinema

Apatride

Toutes le conférences internationales qui ont essayé de définir un statut juridique des apatrides se sont soldées par un échec,parce qu'aucun accord ne saurait remplacer le territoire vers lequel un étranger,selon le foncionnement de la loi en vigueur,doit pouvoir être déporté(...) Puisq'il raprésentait l'anomalie pour laquelle la loi générale n'avait rien prévu,mieux valait pour lui qu'il devînt une anomalie pour laquelle la loiprévoyait quelque chose-un criminel.
H. Arendt

Venetia,other than being my favourite city back in Italy,is my favourite stylist(she's much more than that...)You should read this little article i post on her,one other great thing that happened in fashion businness
http://news.independent.co.uk/people/profiles/article312634.ece
this is what she says at the end
"Still, while many in the industry would acknowledge her influence on their work, Scott is preparing to move on. "I think I've hawked the same old look for a long time now," she says, admitting to suffering from both denim and vintage fatigue. "Because of the mainstream, it shifts you out of what you love. Now I think I'm going to become extremely chic."
I don't understand why she can't be extremely chic and still go on with the same old style. Or being one and the other in different situations. It doesn't mean that if some Jack wears a vintage item,I shouldn't use wear it anymore. Off course you are supposed to go on,to evolve,but I don't think you should do that because the mainstream starts appreciating your stuff. off course it influences you. This is the never-ending circle of fashion,as Simmel wrote. Upper class starts moving on when lower classes start to "copy their style".
I think it shouldn't be the case for a "creator".For sure everyone should evolve but not in these terms.
Unless you have a very snobbish way to look at the world and this is more important to you than what you love. Then the work of Scott would loose strenght and wouldn't look the same for me .
