Existential slow house.
A short film of a walk around Blenheim on a glorious winter’s day. Music by Debussy and Fleet Foxes accompanies.

It is difficult to argue with dance.
Sometimes it appears frivilous, sometimes futile; it can’t compare to spoken dialogue or written word with their volumes of complexity, endless opportunities to differ, countless possibilities to expand upon.

Gay Pride in town today. Least I could do was post this up.
