I am curious yellow // Sóc curiosa groga


Pàgina (curiosa) de dissenyadora gràfica coreana resident a Barcelona, que publica imatges a l’Avui+ , molt sovint acompanyant els articles del seu company Hèctor López-Bofill – professor universitari, escriptor imparable i ‘altres’.

Originalitat no existeix

I repassant fotos del passat, veus que per la originalitat no existeix. I que tot el que pensis "de nou" segur que abans ja ho havies vist / o pensat / o escoltat / o llegit / o-el-que-sigui.

Leeum al diari

Leeum in newspaper (in catalan here). Leeum (fa més d'un any en parlava) al diari aquí i en la versió en PDF on es veu l'article complet.

I somriure llegint la curiosa frase "(...)També el públic, amb l’estètica impecable que llueixen els coreans de classe benestant, sembla coneixe’s de tota la vida. (...)"

Small is ...

Alguns inefables inombrables ens recomanen una 'catalunya optimista', suposo que hem d'estar contents que només s'hagin col·lapsat totes les rodalies de RenfE (amb E d'Espanya ) a Barcelona en tres dels quatre dies d'aquest nou any.

Caldria llegir més enllà dels debats esquifits i provincians [¿PPSOE o PSOEPP?] als quals la premsa espanyola ens acostuma i redueix. Obrir els ulls, mirar més enllà, temps de llibertats: "per a les nacions, petit és bonic", com diu aquest article en anglès del Finantial Times:

"Europe seems intent on slicing itself up into ever smaller pieces. In the next month, Kosovo is likely to declare independence – making it the seventh new country to emerge from the wreckage of Yugoslavia. The Soviet Union has given way to 15 new states. Even in western Europe, there is talk of Belgium dividing in two, while a pro-independence party has taken power in Scotland.
People tend to treat countries that split up a bit like married couples. It is a sad event. And it is true that a unilateral declaration of Kosovan independence could cause a new crisis in the Balkans.
But if the formation of new countries can be achieved peacefully, it is usually a cause for celebration. This is the age of the small state." Continues here.

Parets de Barcelona ... i detalls poètics.

Kiran Desai - place, persons, reinventing ...

"For a long time I thought that the best love was the one that does not come. And I was looking at movies that were on that direction. I am interested in analyzing specially what happens with the feelings among two persons when they are separated geographically, when there are intervals of time in which they do not see each other. I am interested in the uncertainty of the love, this 'not knowing' what the other one is doing, the richness of this ‘waiting’."

"I believe that the emigrant never manages to find his place. Once you start moving you never finish. You think of a simple trip, but it is never like that. There is always a trip of return that makes you come back to your country, though it is for a few weeks, and it shakes everything. You rethink things every day. You are always reinventing yourself. But, you know?, it does not seems to me bad that not all the pieces of your life match perfectly, that something lacks to your existence. It helps yourself to choose your place in the world. Only the emigrants can choose wherefrom they want to be."


"Durante mucho tiempo pensé que era mejor el amor que no llega. Y miraba películas que cumplían con eso. Me interesa especialmente analizar lo que ocurre con los sentimientos entre dos personas cuando están separadas geográficamente, cuando hay intervalos de tiempo en que no se ven. Me interesa la incertidumbre del amor, ese no saber qué hace el otro, la riqueza de ese esperar."

"Yo creo que el emigrante no llega a encontrar su sitio nunca. Una vez empiezas a moverte nunca acabas. Tú esperas un viaje sencillo, pero nunca lo es. Siempre hay un viaje de retorno que te devuelve a tu país, aunque sea por unas semanas, y eso te remueve todo. Te planteas cosas diariamente. Estás siempre reinventándote. Pero, ¿sabe?, tampoco me parece mal eso de que no cuadren todas las piezas de tu vida, que le falte algo a tu existencia. Te ayuda a escoger tu sitio en el mundo. Sólo el emigrante puede escoger de dónde quiere ser."

Kiran Desai, al magazine de la Vanguardia del 30-12-2007
