Listening to it brought to mind these lines by Philip Larkin: Outside, the wind's incomplete unrest Builds and disperses clouds about the sky, And dark towns heap up on the horizon. None of this cares for us.

Fascinating release by @avantologist.bsky.social. Large sonic structures that resist any attempt to name them, that shift and change in incomprehensible ways, hinting at processes beyond human perception: the trembling of mountains, the slow grind of continents, the pull of the moon. #nowlistening

It was the blue hour when I went to the window. The streets had turned to amber, apartments were beginning to light up. Birdsong was everywhere. For a long time, I couldn't bring myself to close the window.

Thank you! I'd love to learn more about Japan. We definitely want to visit again, but I'm hoping to learn a bit of Japanese first! HK still has a few places that move at a slower pace. Likewise, I'd be happy to give recommendations! Please feel free to DM me anytime if you're comfortable with that.

That sounds fascinating! I imagine moving to Japan was a culture shock. I've never been to S'pore, but people say it's a bit like HK, only cleaner. Loneliness and freedom is a good description! HK has some nice old places and nature. My wife and I have been to Japan a few times and liked it a lot!

Oh, you're from Singapore? That's interesting! I'm German but I live in Hong Kong, and your photos remind me of how it was like when I first came here. Now many of those things are gone, so I can relate to the nostalgia!

I agree, these are beautiful photos. I don't know anything about Penang so I first thought they were taken in Taiwan!

Thank you! Art school was indeed a good time for me. Maybe there's a way for you to join some university classes? But you can learn by yourself too. I used to bring a sketchbook on walks or travels and did quick sketches whenever I could. Five minutes is enough. You can learn a lot that way!

I hope you will be able to continue learning from him! Your post brought back memories of the drawing classes I took in art school. I had an excellent teacher too and it was a very meaningful experience.

This is your first ever figure drawing? It's very good! Charcoal is tricky so I think it's an amazing start.

The typhoon arrived at night, and at times I thought the windows might shatter. Outside, dark trees were swaying violently. In between gusts of wind and heavy rain, I suddenly heard birds, and I imagined them in the darkness, clinging to a branch and singing into the storm.

こちらこそ、お礼を言わせてください!ソーシャルメディアでこれほど有意義なやり取りができることはめったにないですし、「どこでもドア」の例えもまさに言い得て妙でした。今回のやり取りは本当に楽しかったです。この会話を通じて、『ミレニアム・マンボ』と『西鶴一代女』の両方をもう一度観直したくなりました。本当にありがとうございました!

冒頭のカットに関するご考察、大変勉強になりました。その冒頭のカットにある歩道橋というお話から、SF映画に出てくるタイムトンネルやワームホールのようなものをふと思い出しました。『西鶴一代女』の冒頭のカットには門が登場しますが、どちらも過去へのポータル(入り口)のようなものと捉えられるかもしれないなと思いました。映画について語り合うのはいつも知的な刺激に満ちていて本当に楽しいですね!

その共通点には気づきませんでしたが、ご指摘には全く同感です!私の記憶では、どちらも夜、主人公を捉えた移動撮影(トラッキングショット)で始まっていたのではないでしょうか。ご指摘通り、どちらも逃走の試みを描いています。そこには運命や不可避性といった感覚があり、この共通するテーマがあるからこそ、どちらの作品も私がこれまで見た中で最も切ない映画だと感じたのだと思います。映画の専門家ではありませんし未見の作も多いですが、侯孝賢は溝口健二、ロベール・ブレッソン、アンドレイ・タルコフスキーと並び、私の心に最も深く響いた監督の一人です。

『ミレニアム・マンボ』は大好きな映画の1つです!『西鶴一代女』との比較、とても興味深いですね。どちらも本当に深く心を揺さぶられる作品だと思います。
