Today I met Eugene and something was changed in him.He said that he read "Crime and Punishment" from 6 o'clock in the morning.His face changed..really!! I was so happy...Unbelievable!!! 

We started to film the draft of our movie but suddenly rain started.We went back and worked on the selection of the quotes from the Dostoevsky text.

Then we visited our neighbor shop again...asked when the Boss will be there.They said friday is ok.

Then Emma came.She explained such fantastic stories that it could be a separate performance in our film

,

This is a quote from the Eugene letter :

I will put together some quotes today as many as I can find!

maybe it is the question how can you be individual o

have a position and at the same time to be part of a community or movement

Raskolnikow has some answers for that.what really isolates him from others is the fact that he has such a high oppinion of himself a sort of aristocracy and his education (university..) that comes along with being poor,because he sees no value in making money...Ely said yesterday that she doesnt like people with money.Thats why she lives in north!

in the occupy movement ther is always this jesus quote around "they dont know what they are doing or protest against but they are doing it"

that has a religious character what am I am committed to? to god,to politics,society or my own inner thoughts.raskolnikow cannot escape his consciousness , zizek would say he obeys his über-ich and discribes it not only a personal über-ich but also as a principle phenomena in capitalist society..buy this,enjoy that.

i think it is a good idea to give away books classical literature.what else i have to think for the potlach :))

we have no teachings about how making research at the academy

Yes ,It can be the idea of giving the presents to locals Noord citizens -thank you dear Eugen that you remind me that !

We decided to do the movie without faces only with bodies and voices.

We approved the movie plan.Hot debates were happening...and vodka!!!

I hate this guy. He is looking a bit .... how to say ...mmmmm what do you think?

Lonely muslim woman.Soon very soon you won't be able even to drink coffee with you friends in the mother center...What can we do?

Jan Ernst van der Pek a hero of social housing!

"Congratulations!"

"Are you ready for gentrification?"

"Are you ready to go further north?"

"Give us empty buildings and we will give you our love!"

"I am going to occupy join me!"

"You will must be happy!"

"We love our government and especially gentrification."

"Don't be greedy!"

...preparing Raskolnikow!

...discussing plans for the movie...how many voices do we hear?

Gosia came and brought her grandmother's sweater.She told us her story...

I told her that we better go to do the work in prison.

..after that we went to Cafe Brecht and had some lekker Weizenbier !!! On the wall was written a quote of B.Brecht: "Things won't stay the way they are..." Hmmm...

Today I finally managed to penetrate the muslim women community.We came in with Dan, showed some dresses and explained the stories behind.I showed also a blockade woman dress.They did not know of second world war between Germans and Russians.But never mind...they are ok.They did not want to know about other things and of course you cannot judge them.I also did not know about their experts and historical wars.A turkish woman,strong as a panther told me: "You are strange person, we did not know you,if you will drink coffee with us for 6 months,then I will tell you MY STORY!"

"There is no prison as steel bound as a mans conscience." F.Dostoevsky

Tomorrow we are going to knock on doors and ask people: "If there is something wrong with them or with the neighborhood. The operation's title is "Night-Watch".Spontaneously without asking permission.The Artist as police agent.A good one,,,Utopian!!!

Today we bought a white dress.We wrote "Fuck the System!" on it.We thought of aggressive virginity.Then we went to Damsquare...people were enthusiastic.And dancing to Nagila Hava.It is the responsibility of powerful citizen to demonstrate...Utopian Occupists!! 

They weren't individualists...

Do you like our Slogan "Fuck the System!"?

To what point of insanity a woman can sometimes love? (Dostoyevski)

29.11.11

Eugen went to airport to create a banner "ART CAN HELP PEOPLE".
I am thinking to put all the T-shirts around attached to trees and then look for the people's reaction,with camera of course.Without permission....Fuck political correctness...!!! Without this nice man's help Eugen couldn't have made it because he needed his bankcard.The man said: "O I am very happy if I can help an Artist!" He told a story from the times when he was at the academy in the 70s someone invented a non-digital  banner-machine.But the teacher said:"No political Slogans!" Everybody is interrested in this new banner machine at Schipol: there was a man from VARA Radio Eugen gave him a little interview about our project.We'll see what comes out...!!
