between embarassment and pride

March 13, 2010

It happens that I, once in a while, am ashamed of my country of origin. For one thing, we’ve got Berlusconi, who is a devastating figure for the country I am from and a real embarrassment for all of us, ugh. As a matter of fact, a LOT of people think I am Norwegian [...]

It’s snow-time!

February 19, 2010

yes, even the good and loud and busy and constantly-on-the-run people go on holiday. I am off to a snowy place for ten days of good food, early nights, lots of skiing, and no internet. I felt like I needed to throw in a couple of updates before my trip (though I really should be [...]

disposable memories

August 16, 2009

I came across this a few weeks ago. How very lovely, I say. If you are into photography and participating in these global projects, I recommend you take a look at their website. It reminds me a bit of the 1000 journals project. (I wonder if that still exists, actually..) I think I might make [...]

Piccolo Grande Amore

May 26, 2009

Piccolo Grande Amore by Claudio Baglioni is, besides being a milestone in italian pop music history, also a song I grew up with (actually, a while back I made a digital-mixtape about inherited music!). For as long as I can remember, it’s been there – just like Acqua Azzurra Acqua Chiara by Lucio Battisti or [...]

February 3, 2009

In December I was for a few days in a small village in Northern Italy, where I collected a lot of material for a project I was working on. Finally managed to put together a small video. I am still experimenting, and there are a lot of ideas running through my head, but here’s what [...]
