Sunday, February 8

1/4

The title of Jacob's post sums it up nicely: the work that started on Saturday, February 7, and ended at 4 o'clock in the morning, February 8, puts us one quarter of the way through the project. There is more time ahead than behind, but the quicksands in the hourglass are definitely palpable beneath our feet.

Michael choreographed a scene and Steph lead us through exciting improvised dialogues (I want to hear more!). I dealt simple tarot readings for Jacob and Travis. I'm rereading the Borges story "Tlön, Uqbar and Orbis Tertius" in which, among other things, is described one author's "imaginary community ... which other men later founded, in imitation of his foredescription."

Aurora gave me a helpful way to think about what we have shot so far and how to proceed: just to imagine what is missing, as if we are making one thing and have left just a few pieces out. What are those pieces? The apartment empty of inhabitants, people alone, daylight. What else?
