"The Doubtful Guest / Edward Gorey"

It came to house one day out of the blue. It was an all-black, tapir-like creature with a trademark pointed nose and Converse sneakers. The family embraces this strange and mischievous creature. It’s a humorous work about symbiosis with the unknown.

Spent the morning making tapes.*

* Using old cassettes to make cyanotypes while listening to the local college radio station which is playing Eno, Patti Smith, Wire, The Fall, Chameleons, Mission of Burma, so hello, from 1983, the apocalypse is fine.

"THE HAPLESS CHILD / Edward Gorey"

The girl in the story had a sad ending. However this work could also happen in real life, and similar incidents are happening in real life.... He may have been a journalist who communicated facts through the viewfinder of a picture book....

"THE EPIPLECTIC BICYCLE / Edward Gorey"

This work is for the enjoyment of blank spaces. It's not only visual, so The key to the truth lurks in the connections between the stories. The fact that he doesn't say much and leaves us hanging is one of his greatest charms.

Pythagoras, the sage of Samos, loved numerology.

In August 1979, a reporter for The Associated Press broke the news that a “killer rabbit” had attacked President Jimmy Carter. It was a “throwaway story,” the reporter said, but one that took on a life of its own and became emblematic of the president’s problems at home and abroad.

love the arty collage MV to this beautiful song - vocals by Suis are always emotive, the lyrics are poignant, evocative yet speak of something ineffable, joyous, heartrending, hopeful, all at once (even in translation)💐
