Paul Auster, Humpty Dumpty & the Power of Words

Icebergs, split screens, et dérive identitaire

Autre référence, Marie me fait découvrir le travail “True North”, d’Issac Julien, un travail de ré-interpretation méditatif de l’aventure au grand nord de l’explorateur Matthew Henson. Le travail est un mélange de moments kitchs (à voir la thématique, je doute que ce soit voulu?) et sublimes, un montage fragmenté grâce au split screens, qui me […]

Chambre horaire / Time Zones Room

Hier soir, après avoir décrit la position des différents groupes de meubles dans ma chambre (que j’ai appelé îlots), je me suis dit que j’allais tracer les différentes trajectoires dans cet espace pendant une journée. Puis je me suis dit que je pourrais y superposer les fuseaux horaires, comme si ma chambre était la terre […]

The Real Thing 1

The first day I arrived at the house, I was tired by my bus journey and went to bed early… I was woken up at 3 o’clock in the morning by the flatmates I had not met: they banged on my door and i soon discovered that they were drunk. One was even more plastered and […]

The Real Thing 2

One night, we went dancing in Moseley, in a village near Edgbaston. I was really please, it was going to be a salsa night. But once we arrived there, it seems I was the only one to be happy about it. No one was dancing… John gave me the explaination: “we are not drunk enough”.

The Real Thing 3

My house was really dirty, and my flatmates even more. On the first floor lived a gay couple. On their door you could read “beautiful people”. By opposition, I assumed that we were the ugly and dirty people.

The Real Thing 5

There was that guy living in my house. Dave. He was the first guy I got chatty with and we got along well. One night the whole house went out, in a strange bar, with loads of gothic decorations on the walls. Students from the campus were hanging there. I found the place awful. As the […]

The Real Thing 6

There was that guy living in my house. Paul. A boy from Liverpool who was trying to D-jay during the night and was sleeping during the day, or he would lye on the couch in the ground floor kitchen-living room, making the kitchen smell of his unwashed clothes. He was always eating cereals and they […]

The Real Thing 8

There was that other guy living in my house. Pete. I think. A boy from Cheltenham. Everybody commented on how posh his accent was. For me he was just the guy with the warm garlic breath.

The Real Thing 10

One sunday, as the two of us were speaking quietly in the kitchen, Yan admited that he was spitting in Dave’s shampoo everytime Dave was an arse. I laught, looking astonished, opening big eyes then said:” no way, me too!!” We both burst out laughing. From that moment on, i kept my shampoo in my room.

The Real Thing 11

On day, HE called on the phone landline, and Yan asked nosilly, who’s that guy, he is you blokey? In my broken english, I heard “bollockey”. For the next few weeks, happy to have learnt a new word, i used “bollockey” as often as i could.

The Real Thing 12

Our house was a nice but old victorian mansion, owned by a vicar. He would always come univited the day before the rent was due, then on the day. I thought it was really odd : why would he fear that we would not pay him, he was a vicar…

The Real Thing 13

Our house was cold and damp. In the shower you had one of these annoying hot water electrical heater. I had never seen anything like it before. It was never really hot, and never powefull enough. I had the idea to ask the vicar if he could do something about it. He looked at me […]

The Real Thing 14

One day, the heater in my room broke down and Yan and Mary told me they had to go to the vicar the next day : It was only 5 mns away from the house, they would show me where it was. On the way, they explained to me that he owned a few houses […]

The Real Thing 16

The house kitchen was a big square room with a bow-window on the hudge beautiful messy garden. Looking outside, was looking at every possible shades of green. Inside, all was green too, and brown, and grey, and yellow. A kitchen with plastic floor on one side of the room, and a living area on the other side, […]
