Relatedly, Bela Tarr is currently making a film called The Turin Horse: ‘freely inspired by an episode that marked the end of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s career. On January 3,1889, on the piazza Alberto in Turin, a weeping Nietzsche flung his arms around an exhausted and ill-treated carriage horse, then lost consciousness. After this event – which forms the prologue to Tarr’s film – the philosopher never wrote again and descended into madness and silence. From this starting point, The Turin Horse goes on to explore the lives of the coachman (Krobot), his daughter (Bók) and the horse in an atmosphere of poverty heralding the end of the world.’
I really like your sound advices. Each time, they strike something inside, made me think about what and how I do things.
More, more, more !
And I’m thinking about doing a poster with all those little snippets, something to watch when I feel low, or need to find another way to my work.
thanks for the encouragment! i hunt through a lot of quotes to find ones that resonate & are relevant to me & hopefully you… i’ve also been slowly updating tags on all the posts in the archives (656 posts & counting!) so if you click ‘sound advice’ in the tag cloud on the right sidebar you get only the ‘sound advice’ posts displayed…
I think about a year or so from now, you could make them into a book.
