Natural History Vs High Art Wank
Now there is a place and time for high art wank, like today for example. I just watched 'Drawing Restraint 9' another visual epic from Mathew Barney. Yip this one was the best so far. It was quite indescribable. I will have to act it out for you and elaborate on all the wonderfully texturalised scenes. Plus costuming to kill for with Bjork chucked into the mix.
I came out of the cinema with very little feeling in my body, almost like an out of body experience. That’s my gauge as to whether the film is any good or not. Seems to work.
The only other film I saw from the fest that did this was Michael Gondry's ‘The Science of Sleep’. What A genius idea, the art direction in that was superb. Did i mention how fricken wicked the website is!! Hours of fun and entertainment. My kind of site, ahhhhhh Parallel Synchronized Randomness! Fascinating!!!!

So how can we merge both natural history and extreme artistic expressionism into a cohesive entertaining unpretentious story? Dwayne suggested doing all the CGI sequences as stop animation. Yeah cool idea Dwayne. How about we make all the background scenes as pop art which pop up. Or re-enact some action sequences with claymation or, and on and on it goes, but how far can you push it before it becomes fiction?
Ok send in your suggestions for an inventive artistic idea. !!!!
A must see next month! Hot bitches, yeah actually ‘Real Hot Bitches’, the fringe fest show!

Pip, as a former fashion designer, I hope you come up with something exquisite, such as merging textile with cinephile... what about bejewelled bees?
So have had a look around your blog and you should have more pictures. Brighten it up a bit and get some provokative stuff on it, like the link by the way!
