I am working on my video series called The Neighborhood.. Canadians speaking about America.
I will pull the different episodes together and include them in an Art Installation. I hope. On the wall I will also feature some flashing photographs of Canadians being physically dragged off somewhere...but where?
I have included the second video in the previous post.. It feels great to be working on this subject that is so prevalent right now as Donald Trump makes a big run at the White house.. The idea of all those nuclear weapons in the wrong hands, makes me and millions of Canadians and Europeans very nervous. But whats the alternative? Would the US ever invade Canada? The budget for the video series is non existence so I scramble to make it look and sound except able to people that have short attention spans and are use to high tech, good looking videos.
Working on this project has created that "flow" of energy that was missing in my life for a while.
Waking up with that passion and excitement that old age sucks out of you is very special. I know that the term old age is a little offensive, but there it is.
Our galaxy has 30 billion stars and the universe holds 300 billion galaxies. What I am saying is that we have no answers for any big questions, so its much better for me to distract myself with some passionate projects.. We know that all of this cant have just happened by accident, yet it seems that everything is totally random. At least I can control the angle of a camera shot and the rhythm of the edit.
I also had a dream last night about a passionate love affair from the past. Going to the ROM...seemed so real and I felt so alive..until I woke up... I was pissed. I got up and started to channel my disappointment into something creative and had a great day..Life is good.
Its been a while..
Rick
