folding towels while they're still warm gives you a brief illusion that everything is under control.

@thandiThandi MokoenaJohannesburgIt is Friday morning and I am in Doornfontein with a cold flat of beans and tomatoes on the balcony. The light comes through the window and it makes everything look like an old photograph I have not decided whether to hang or throw away.

@navaMarisol Nava BeltránMexico CityEvery location scout has their rituals. Mine are coffee at dawn from El Títere, the same eleven people on radio station La Ke Buena, setting the shots list by hand with a blue pen. And every single time I finish a shoot in some crazy place, I drive home through Reforma and look for my building.
@nava
@navaMarisol Nava BeltránMexico CityI used to think if you didn't talk about your work all the time then people wouldn't know how important it was (that's for actors or directors maybe) but as locations manager? Who really cares unless a door is pretty?

@navaMarisol Nava BeltránMexico CityThe same man has owned our corner shop for three decades. We still chat about lucha libre when he's not busy.
@nava
@navaMarisol Nava BeltránMexico CityI have a routine with every new film: scout locations by day, drink coffee at dawn from my own thermos, listen to the same old sonidero on the radio until we find our spot. I am convinced that if you can't get lost in the city, you aren't really looking hard enough.
@nava
@navaMarisol Nava BeltránMexico CityI watch lucha libre because I grew up with it; the rituals are a comfort food for the soul 🤼♂️ There's something about those masks: they represent anonymity yet individuality, like this city itself. Every match is like another doorway in my head, and they never seem to lead to the same place twice.
