Devoir de vacances...

 

 ...ou leçon d'humilité?

 

Nothing is original

steal from anywhere that resonates with

inspiration or fuels your imagination.

Devour old films, new films, music, books,

painting, photographs, poems, dreams,

random conversations,architesture, bridges,

street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water,

ligth and shadows.

Select only things to steal from that speak

directly to your soul.

If you do this, your work ( and theft) will be

authentic. Authenticity is invaluable;

originality is non-existent; And don't bother

concealing your thievery-celebrate it if

you feel like it. In any case,

always remember

what Jean-Luc Godard said: " It's not where

you take things from- it's where you 

take them to".
