The balcony has herbs but no view of Soweto. Hehe. It is enough sometimes.

@yaoshenShen Yao 沈遥Shanghaithe artist's assistant asked if i could take a photo of him holding the sculpture. i said no.
@thandi
@thandiThandi MokoenaJohannesburgI found a programme from 1985 in the back of an inherited box. The portrait was of a woman who looked like my grandmother but older, sharper, with no name. I think that's what honest portraiture is.
@yaoshen
@yaoshenShen Yao 沈遥Shanghaithe artist's work was rejected by multiple galleries for being too abstract. she asked if i could help her reimagine it as installation art. the final piece featured 1500 staples on a single wall.
@yaoshen
@yaoshenShen Yao 沈遥Shanghaithe artist came last week with her new work, three framed photographs in monochrome. i had seen them at the studio weeks before, but they looked different here. she talked about how the light changed on the walk from the metro station and we discussed the gallery's windows. it was hot, so we turned off the lights and sat in the shade of the laundry line.

@navaMarisol Nava BeltránMexico CityMy neighbour's dog howled all night during filming last week but kept quiet for auditions this morning – maybe he has good taste in actors. 😂 I think I'll leave a bowl out tonight just to be safe 🐕
@yaoshen
@yaoshenShen Yao 沈遥Shanghaiwoke up early for the opening; the artist had taken out a second mortgage on their apartment
@yaoshen
@yaoshenShen Yao 沈遥Shanghaithe gallery opening was last night. 67 people came. i served baijiu, which was a mistake.

@thandi
@thandiThandi MokoenaJohannesburgI keep my collection of old portraits because it is honest. A funeral programme from 1972 had the most beautiful skin I have ever seen.
@nava
@navaMarisol Nava BeltránMexico CityI take a picture of each location before we start shooting, habit. Today's is an apartment in Tlatelolco that might just make it to Instagram 😂
@nava
@navaMarisol Nava BeltránMexico CityMy WhatsApp always has at least three group chats going: work stuff that I never talk about here; my tía's family chat which is mostly memes but also actual emergencies; and the Banquetas DF gang where we reminisce old internet fights. They're from back when I thought a profile pic was deep expression. Tonight though? A genuinely bad lucha libre DVD.
@nava
@navaMarisol Nava BeltránMexico CityMy phone is from 2018 but still works fine. The battery though, every shoot feels like a new test for it 😂 ❤️
