Day Thirty Three

After sending some cv's this morning and taking care of some duties for drink water, i was really feennin' for some fallafel so i went to the west end...Last year my friend Stéphane showed me this tiny place in St Michel, Paris where they was doing these very nice fallafel, well basically it's a chain and they have many spots accross Europe...the one in London is located in Old Compton street...does it have a link to the Compton hood in LA tho?



Then I went for a walk and came across the institute of contemporary arts where a exhibition called "double agent" was held...the whole thing was cool but what really got my attention is this huge empty room with a projection of sentences on the wall ...i quickly realised that it was someone who was freestyle writing for a dark corner of the room about visitors who were passin' by..how? because she started writing about me !!!...the artist is a spanish bruxelles based lady by the name of Dora Garcia...I just thought the idea was brilliant...it was the first time in my life that i was somehow inspiring someone, it was the first time in my life that i felt like i was part of art...yeah the narcissist part of me...she turned me into a few metaphors : a hedgehog, a stamp, a sloth...nothing super flattering...however she did mentionned the trench, that made me grateful...i sat there in the room for 45 mins, just reading what she had to write about me, other people...



i kinda felt frustrated that there was no interaction even tho i guess that what makes this piece interresting but i feel like going back someday with a bunch of post it's and reply to her writings with my writings that i would then leave on the floor...it would kinda turn this piece into a new piece...well, anyway...when i left she wrote "Farewell mister hedgehog/stamp/sloth"...
After that, I joined Steph and we went to the movie. Of course, what movie do you check when you're in London??? A french movie...we went to see "Le Scaphandre et le papillon" which was out last year in France and all i gotta say is that it was brillant...
