"I Origins" - Soundtrack


 I've always loved film soundtracks.
For a long time, I even thought that it should be the most satisfying job in the world, writing music for films, creating the emotions for a storyline, for characters. Also because I didn't know how controlled it could be.

 I still do love some soundtracks. I could post so many here. But just discovered this one.

 I'm a writer but really I can confess that, although I love words so much, and lyrics in particular, music is truly the most powerful language of all...

 Just sharing...

Marseille: M A T I È R E N O I R E - Gonzalo Borondo show - D-8


 Heading to Marseille in a week for this very unique art event:
More soon!!



M A T I È R E  N O I R E
Gonzalo Borondo show

Oct 7 – Jan 31 | Galerie Saint Laurent, Marché aux Puces, Marseille
Opening reception Saturday October 7 – h 18.00 / 06pm
FREE ENTRY
 
On October 7 th, Catherine Coudert and Galerie Saint Laurent proudly presents Matière Noire, international artist Borondo’s biggest exhibition to date in the heart of Marseille’s famous antique Marché aux Puces, one of the largest markets in Europe.

Curated by Carmen Main, the show is co-produced by Gonzalo Borondo himself and Italian artist, and his close friend, Edoardo Tresoldi. The three artists have already worked together in Borondo’s last exhibition ‘Animal’ in London.
 
Matière Noire deals with the dark matter - everything we cannot directly see or detect but allows the universe to exist - as a metaphor of the invisible in our perception. The show is a reflection upon different cultural, social and generational realities and the media through which they are filtered, from earlier forms of representations to contemporary digital technologies.



In the 4,000-square-meter exhibition, Borondo will present its universe for the first time through more than 30 in-situ artworks - animations, holograms, installations, paintings, videos - in collaboration with 8 international multidisciplinary artists under 30, all born before the digital boom: BRBR FilmsCarmen MainDiego López BuenoEdoardo TresoldiIsaac CordalRobberto AtzoriSbagliato and A.L. Crego, author of the exhibition's dynamic visual content, such as gifs and videos.

The objects found on site are the raw material used for most of the works; they represent the fil rouge for the whole exhibition as opposed to the digital archive of our times. As Borondo has said: “When I entered into the market for the first time I felt like I was in a limbo of objects waiting to find a new life through the viewers’ gaze. A reserve of collective memory that inspires constant search and the feeling of being able to find something unique, belonging to personal history”.
 
Divided in 3 acts – projectionperception, and interpretation – the exhibition casts doubts on the uniqueness of reality and its representations, penetrating and questioning the edges of human perception; from Plato’s allegory of the cave to a 2.0 reality which shows a world flowing behind a screen, to the free creative contribution of each artist.
 
During the 3-month art residency in Marché aux Puces, the artists have lived and worked together, curating and organizing every detail of the show, sharing the space with the merchants of the iconic market in the heart of a disappearing neighborhood, the dark matter of Marseille. 

Borondo makes use of collective symbols and myths, and touches archetypes and latent unconscious, bringing the audience to a kaleidoscope of infinite universes to explore and capture. They are drafts of an invisible past without which our existence would not be possible, as the dark matter of our present.

FILM: The Young Karl Marx


"Haitian director Raoul Peck knows how to make films that move you and shake you to the core."

More about the first film I ever worked on, as a journalist, researcher, writer, for the amazing filmmaker Raoul Peck, in English:



FILM: The Young Karl Marx


29 September 2017

THE YOUNG KARL MARX **** (vo German, French, English)

Haitian director Raoul Peck knows how to make films that move you and shake you to the core.

The Young Karl Marx - Trailer [en]



As a political militant, he makes films about history, humanity and injustices that cause you to reflect and feel the larger truths with your gut, literally.
The first film of his that I saw was I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO, a searing documentary on James Baldwin and the assassinations of three great black figures. It was a haunting experience. In this film he has taken up the life and works of Marx, instigator of one of the most important social revolutions in history, along with his friend Frederick Engels.
To go from documentary to a feature film based on historical facts is not a given, but Peck has managed it with both mastery and discretion. From the excellent dialogue, acting, editing, the intermingling of languages depending on the locations, and the delicate music, he pulls us into the young lives of Marx and Engels in the 1840s, as they took on the incredible idea of setting workers free and giving them decent wages. It was a dangerous and revolutionary idea for the times.
From Germany to Manchester, Paris, London and Brussels, Peck follows dedicated men and women who believed in the new idea of equality and freedom from the slave labor of the Industrial Revolution – a revolution that had benefited the industrialists and condemned the workers to poverty and horrific living conditions.
This is an eye-opener of the first order, above and beyond our knowledge of the Communist movement or our opinion of it. As in I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO, Peck seems to be continuously capable of transmitting larger ideas. Here he makes us witness to the details and importance of the ideals of the Communist movement, rather than the flaws in its later manifestations.

Massive Attack's 3D on His Graffiti Art in 1985/6 in Bristol


This footage shows the graffiti ability of the man known as 3D, aka Robert Del Naja, at the centre of my book.

Shared in July by the BBC West of England, it was finally shared by the man himself today on his band's Facebook page.

It contains a very interesting interview about the street art scene in the middle of the 1980s, which has dramatically changed since. It is also a great footage showing the artist at work, at a time when spraying was still largely illegal or possible on a few private walls.





BBC Inside Out West
July 26
This previously unbroadcast footage of young graffiti artist Robert Del Naja - 3D from Massive Attack - is a priceless piece of social history. 
Produced by Philip Johnson for his open access Video Workshop at Filton Technical College circa 1985/86, it shows 3D painting a piece on the facade of the original Westworld clothing shop in Lower Park Row, Bristol, filmed by student Morris Weeks as part of a group project. 
This is intercut with an interview with the man himself by Philip, with whose permission we're able to share this with you.

-

According to now famous street artists from Bristol, like Inkie, Nick Walker and of course Banksy, 3D inspired them all and really made graffiti special in this era. His adventures at the time are recollected in the fourth and fifth chapter of my book...

Enjoy this rare piece of recent history!!
