Mr.Fixit & Mr. coffee-0127

But just as I got to the top of the stairs, I looked and she was on the sofa kissing a man. It was summer. The door was open.

The TV was going.

That 's one of the things I've seen.

If we wanted the news, we had to sit around the screen and listen.

My dad died in his sleep, drunk, eight years ago.

My mom was there at the same table. She was trying to write a letter to her sister in Little Rock.

He had a moustache and always wore a button-up sweater.

I left my mother with the man on her sofa and drove around for a while.

Response of the Conginivism

"By using symbols we discover( indeed we build) the worlds we live in, and the interest we have in symbols- artworks amount them- is distinctively cognitive. "
This quote reminds me that one of my friends, who is an fearless photography, once told to me "This whole wold, is made of education. What we think is right is contributed to education, and so is wrong. Can you image the world that without education? What will we do? What if the right thing is defined as the wrong thing?" The world would be severely chaos. While we are growing up, we keeps being brainwashed, which is, in other words, education. For me, education is the base of the cognitivism. We understand the world by what we've learned. I think art is somehow cognitive, but not all. Since we might be taught that red means exciting and blue means sadness. By these preconception we can interpret the art work. However, in other circumstances, we may instinctively touched by an unique painting which is a woman smiling to you since it resonates with you. It has nothing to do with your cognitivism but recall your memory or experience.

This film is consists of large-scale drawings in charcoal and pastel on paper. The images are instantly melting and altering. This transition reminds me the memory, which William Kentridge might want to metaphor with this style. In this animation. He uses a lot of papers, which cover the bleeding corpse regularly. Some people who are tied walk though the landscape. They look upset through the telescope. The naked man sitting in the room has connection with the woman, who finally dead and bleeding as same as other dead people on the ground. The water appears everywhere. For me, the water saves the man from drown in his room though it turns into blood in the end. The woman is like the seer. She is wise and perceptive. We are watching through her eyes, her angles. The man frequently thinks of this woman. She appears in water, mirror and papers. She is the man's eyes. The man needs her to see the world since he has nothing and is in an airtight room. When the woman die, the man also lose his eyes. Hence he is blocked in a small pool forever.
