COULDN'T RESIST

When I saw how the paint crew had lined up all these doors to dry, I just couldn't resist playing around.  I tell you, these guys always surprise me with their unexpected aesthetic!  (A friend of mine just swung by the house and asked me if this was an art installation.  I said, "It is now.")














Perhaps I was heavily influenced by the film, "Pina".  If you haven't seen it yet, it is mind blowing.  Such a striking homage to Pina Bausch and the art form she created -- fusing dance, expressionism, nature, humor, poetry and music.  Wim Wenders captures Pina's essence beautifully, employing 3D to artistic effect.  The architectural shapes in the choreography pop out of the screen!  At any rate, I left the theater wanting so much to be a Tanztheater Wuppertal dancer!




Here's the "Pina" trailer.  I was already in awe viewing this, and still, I was left quite agape throughout the actual film.

    What a wonderful background well spotted! Also LOOOOVING the beautiful dress you're wearing so gracefully. I befriended one of my favourite bloggers, Tiffany from Dancing Branflakes, through our shared love and admiration for Pina Bausch. xo

    Wow is all I can say. Thanks for posting this preview. I hadn't heard of this film, and now I'm definitely going to see it. I loved the photos as well. So playful and lovely to look at. I love how you merged the style with the background. I have no place to shoot in my tiny apartment, but I'll be moving into a slightly bigger place in six days and posts like this inspire me to try harder.

    Thanks for your comments on my blog. I love yours. Following you now :)
