The Garage Sale is a Metaphor for the Mind

This series of essays, conversations and texts are quite useful as a starting point for other ideas and directions. For me, key texts in particular book THE EVERYDAY were:

1. Occupation of Places //1968//Jean-Jacques Leveque
2. The Everyday: A Conversation//2000//David A. Ross and Nicholas Serota
3. Walking in Margins//2002//Michel Maffesoli
4. The Poetics of The Derive//2001//Vincent Kaufmann
5. Calling from the Inside: Filmic Topo;ogies of the Everyday//2007//Tom McDonough
6. Inside/Out//1994//Abigail Solomon-Godeau
7. The Garage Sale is a Metaphor for the Mind//2005//Marthaa Rosler
8. To argue for a video of representation. To argue for a video against the mythology of everyday life//1977//Martha Rosler
9. Escape Attempts//1973//Lucy R. Lippard
10. Clearing the Ground//1961//Henri Lefebvre

These are good, quick references for somewhere to start/to get the ball rolling if you are interested in various aspects of the everyday.

I am doing a bit of screenplay writing at the moment. Hours of film is being watched on a daily basis and scribbles turn into more confident marks and drawings. Things are being planned and scaled and organised and maybe I'll have something to be excited about soon. In this Japanese commercial there are a few interesting elements the great Wes Anderson continues to celebrate. Elements which I'd be keen to explore. And yes that is Brad Pitt.

At the time of release in 1970, this film had been called "one of the most extraordinary disasters in modern cinematic history."
3 minutes into this clip, however, plays one of the most extraordinarily brilliant endings to a feature I have ever seen.

n.b. Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located in east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park in the United States noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago — long before Death Valley came into existence.
