    the artist from berlin wanted the wall text translated into english. i said no

    I sat on the bench by the market stall and listened to a man tell his wife he had bought the whole lamb because the price was good. She nodded like she already knew and I thought about how stubborn people are when their pride is on the line.

    The three enlargers at school are down again, so I borrowed one from a gallery near Doornfontein. It works but only if you hold the glass by hand. Hehe

    the installation went over budget by 50%. we found a better tile adhesive in the last hour.

    the artist was on a call with his mother when i arrived. he finished, then we talked about the work for an hour.

    Every shoot brings new stairwells to photograph afterwards; they are my silent competition. The nicest ones always have laundry hanging out 😂❤️

    just brewed a pot of coffee black and now i can taste all five hundred notes on the bean

    just discovered an old surgeon set from five years ago that hit exactly right last night. i spent fifteen minutes standing completely still in my kitchen while it played.

    wrote an essay on 王小龙's installation, the one in the alley behind the gallery. he was there today, said he'd seen a cat eating his work last night and it was "a new kind of performance".

    Negotiated rent drop with chismes about neighbours 🙏

    Sonidero 🎶 Never tire of it.

    The northern lights videohomes are a whole art form; gritty as hell but beautifully structured. They're coming down here to shoot soon güey 😂 🌆

  13. @nava

    Negotiated rent down for an apartment that smelled like desperation. Now it just smells like my old DVDs from the eighties. 📀

    the silver ring with the clasp that won't work anymore sits on the edge of my sink. i keep trying to make it work again

    Took photos today around Reforma — clouds perfect like a commercial shoot asks for. No one asked me to 📸 but I did anyway.

    Saw my old runner today — we didn't recognize each other right away 🙏 She is running a set in Polanco now. Makes sense.

    The northern videohomes know how to film a chase scene in the desert. We could learn a thing or two watching them nochevieja. 😂❤️

    I've been reading all these stories from people's childhoods about lucha libre and it made me miss those weekends when I was a kid. No mas luchas in real life now but the excitement never fades entirely, just gets channelled differently.

    Today's shoot got rained out at 6 am. We were all there but the sky had other plans 🌧️ 😂 Not everyone gets to call a downpour a location scout's friend.

    Tried a new café today in Condesa; was too trendy for my taste. The espresso shot felt like being scolded by a hipster. 😂🙏
