“Booker-prize winner Michael Ondaatje’s preferred medium is 8½-by-11-inch Muji brand lined notebooks. He completes the first three or four drafts by hand, sometimes literally cutting and pasting passages and whole chapters with scissors and tape. Some of his notebooks have pages with four layers underneath”

“Il y a trois nuits. Avant la naissance ce fut la nuit. C´est la nuit utérine. Une fois nés, au terme de chaque jour, c´est la nuit terrestre. Nous tombons de sommeil au sein d´elle. Comme le trou de la fascination absorbe, l´obscurité astrale engloutit en nous rêvons en elle. Et si c´est par la nuit qui est en nous, interne, que nous nous parlons, c´est dans la nuit externe, quotidienne, qui semble à nos yeux venir du ciel, que nous nous touchons.”

I got the idea for this piece because there are problems about communication with people. I feel this is always my struggle. So I wanted to do one piece about human beings and their struggle in life with each other. I find being tied together is a very clear idea, because I feel that to survive we’re all tied up. We cannot go in life alone, without people. Because everybody is individual we each have our own idea of something we want to do. But we’re together. So we become each other’s cage. We struggle because everybody wants to feel freedom. We don’t touch, and this helps us to be conscious that this relationship connects individuals, but the individuals are independent. We are not a couple, but two separate people. So this piece to me is a symbol of life and human struggle. And why one year’s time? Because then this has real experience of time and life. To do work one week or two weeks, I feel that it may become like just doing a performance. But I do it one year and then the piece becomes art and life—it’s real connection and that has more power. Also a year is a symbol of things happening over and over.

Flashback attack.

Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here

To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who’s left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

“We are burdened by household gods, no longer made of clay, but all promising to fulfill us. Our computer, our television, our job, our wealth, our social status, along with the brands we wear and the cars we drive, promise us contentment and inform our identity. These household gods seem to offer well-being, health and success. But all gods create cults. And al these cults circle back to use, to a dangerous self-worship fed by forces who seek to ensnare us in idolatry.”

“The person who thinks seriously about life, Brookner’s books suggest, who proceeds cautiously and conscientiously, will be punished for their virtue, end up alone and dissatisfied, while the person who takes a wholly unreflecting and rather selfish view of life pays no price for it.”

“PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your quest has come to a fork, Pisces. Down one path lies a tumultuousobsession — a compulsive, tormented hunt like Captain Ahab’s pursuit of Moby Dick. In the other direction, a graceful
chase beckons, more in the manner of Sir Galahad’s pure-hearted search for the Holy Grail. Choose one fork and your quarry will be beastly, impossible, and frustrating. If you choose the other fork, your quarry will be magical, earthy, and transformative”

“Mezcla de mezclas, somos. “¡Mueran los gachupines!” es el grito más tonto que se haya dado en México. Si gachupines somos todos, si todos tenemos algo de hijos de aquellos. Por eso compartimos la patria de las cosas que comimos en la infancia. Chiles, maíz, papas, chocolate. Pero también pan y jamón serrano, queso manchego, bacalao y mazapanes. Estamos hechos de lo mismo. Y si hay algo que celebrar es eso, lo demás son los cuentos del nacionalismo que no sirven sino para ver con quién nos peleamos. Como si tiempo hubiera.”
