This film being shot using the art building in Antwerp this week, where we have a studio! My landlord’s, both great artists, are doing clean up today! Bless them! As film making is magical and also makes a mess. Beautiful and messy at times, artists, and us all!
Well, at least our building in Antwerp is famous, it already was a character! When i return to our studio there, i will get the building’s autograph. This is a film being shot in Antwerp by de Palma about european terrorism. Should be interesting. All the world is a stage…i do like how film heightens reality long enough to realize everything is more than meets the eye. Or as Buber put it, “beauty is in the “I” of the beholder.
Film, having been involved in several, is also like circus in that it suddenly shows up to town, and sheds light on everything, and then is gone…there is so much which can happen in that space. When I met Steve Carrol last month on set, i realized also, it can be a place to bless from! To humanize by seeing well, and to realize that even every day life is art.
Film is like opera—team art; or just like life. Layered, collaged in meanings…in real and imagined life. And yet, i know artists are beautiful and messy in life.
After talking to my landlord today, hoping clean up afterwards goes well. Artist, in general, seem to always heighten things, and leave a residue to process afterwards! Alas, that’s us.
Blessings in cleaning the temple afterwards friend Agnes Nys! My landlord’s are also both brilliant artists, and had to host all this hoopla of film making. No easy task! Wish i was there to help clean up the set for you guys! Soon. Artists throw the best parties and leave the biggest mess, on many levels! Alas, that’s just how it is. Anyways, thinking of my friends there today, hosting and doing clean up for this film today. Thanks for sharing Agnes! I do like that our building is famous now! Hopefully it can quickly get back to being itself also.
