Fight Club - group theraphy

in relevance to the Petter movie..
0

By David Fincher, based on a novel by brilliant, bliant Chuck Palahniuk
The main character gets into an existencial crisis, cant sleep, starts going to every support group he can come across & becomes addicted to it

This was freedom. Losing all hope was freedom. If I didn't say anything, people in a group assumed the worst. They cried harder. I cried harder. Look up into the stars and you're gone.
Walking home after a support group, I felt more alive than I'd ever felt. I wasn't host to cancer or blood parasites; I was the little warm center that the life of the world crowded around.
And I slept. Babies don't sleep this well.
Every evening, I died, and every evening, I was born.
Resurrected.




Introverted theraphy..

Voice Thrown, Voice Caught: Ventriloquism in the Art of Tony Oursler
The art of New York-based artist Tony Oursler annunciates the freeing of video from its traditional means of presentation, the TV. And once out of the box, Gregg Horowitz says, it does more than Pandora could have ever imagined: it "inaugurates an emergency" for art in our time.

Bergman

Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007 )



Swedish movie and theatre director, playwright, screenwriter. Although Bergman was widely known as a film director, he also became one of the foreground figures of the modern Swedish theatre.

In the 50ies (or 60ies) he made commercials for a short period. This is one he made for the soap "Bris". "With my little magical theater i will now illustrate what happens when you sweat. We see the little sweat drop appering on the skin, and then being attacked by the bacteria.




"Strindberg has followed me all of my life: I have loved him, hated him and thrown his books in the wall, but rid of him, I cannot get."
