Repetition always finds its way back

Une Semaine De Bonte… yeah, interesting, to say the least. I really liked the aspect of repetition in all of the pictures. I thought it brought back the concept of the uncanny, which I think actually fits really well with all of this surrealism stuff, anyway. For me, Dimanche was my favorite because of the incorporation of the lion heads throughout and the fierceness that I think it brought into all of the pictures. (That, and the fact that I absolutely hate birds and they freak me out and they were in a lot of the rest of the book.) Throughout the whole of the book all of the pictures, though similar in nature, ultimately were very different when you really looked at them. I think if you were just flipping through it would be a little bit harder to distinguish between them because of the repeated elements, but I think that works for someone who is actually sitting down and taking the time to really look at it and pay attention.

The mix CDs are so amusing. Some are whacked as hell, though, to put it lightly. Number four on disk two was crazy and creepy and the layers kept messing with my mind, but that made it really cool, (but really creepy and I really kind of just wanted it to end). Some were really bizarre, but I was glad to have the mixture of the funky ones and the absolutely off-the-wall strange ones because it shows that we can really go absolutely anywhere with things and we’re pretty much unlimited.

I’m with Jess, about how this whole collage concept has kind of taken over. When I’m looking at or reading something, sometimes I’m thinking “What can I take from this?,” or “How can I use this?” I don’t mind it, though. Honestly, I think we could be doing that all the time anyway, looking for “inspiration” in other places, if that’s what you want to call it for a clear conscience.
