I realize I never talked about it here on tumblr, but I actually made my graduation movie about OCD. So during the research phase we looked for a lot of way to try to show intrusive thoughts in a visual manners and this is one of the test I still love a lot.
Edit : I almost forgot because it's been almost 3 years but I actually was super inspired by a photograph from Erik Johansson!
something i realized over the years is that despite wanting to kill myself, i don't actually wanna die. far from it actually. i want to live. i want to experience all the things i always wanted to do. i want to see the world. i want to look in the mirror one day and say "im happy i stayed". i want to get better. i want to live a life free from the shackles this mental illness has kept me in. but sometimes that darkness in my brain just overtakes that hope for a better future and all i'm left with is the thought that it will never get better.
It's not history but I like it. Bouke de Vries for Dries Van Noten.
He reclaims broken pots after their accidental trauma, calling it ‘the beauty of destruction’. Instead of reconstructing them, he deconstructs them. Installation on display at Galerie Quai Malaquais, Paris, until March 12th.
