Miru Kim - River Tyburn London
Miru Kim is known as the "naked urban photographer." She is a boundreyless artist who walks around naked in abandoned and seemingly desolate urban places in cities such as New York, Paris and Berlin. She has photographed various familiar urban settings, such as abandoned subway stations, tunnels, aqueducts, factories, hospitals and shipyards. Her series, Naked City Spleen, is a dissection of places built and forgotten and somehow exposed by the naked body of the artist.
One of my favorite collections I've seen this year.

Grace is Gone
I guess this movie left me not only in tears, but physically with a heart ache. Not many movies do that, even if you let them. In the wake of tragedy, I have found myself wondering what I was like before the event, in the moments leading up to it.
I fantasize that the world was perfect, I felt great, and nothing but goodness surrounds me. And as hard as I try, I can't recall what I was complaining about, or what kept me up at night, or what was stressing my heart before it happen.
This movie beautifuly articulates a fathers effort in making the seemingly "perfect world" last just a little longer before 2 lives are changed forever.

The Question - Pablo Neruda
Love, a question
has destroyed you.
I have come back to you
from thorny uncertainty.
I want you straight as
the sword or the road.
But you insist
on keeping a nook
of shadow that I do not want.
My love,
understand me,
I love all of you,
from eyes to feet, to toenails,
inside,
all the brightness, which you kept.
It is I, my love,
who knocks at your door.
It is not the ghost, it is not
the one who once stopped
at your window.
I knock down the door:
I enter your life:
I come to live in your soul:
you cannot cope with me.
You must open door to door,
you must obey me,
you must open your eyes
so that I may search in them,
you must see how I walk
with heavy steps
along all the roads
that, blind, were waiting for me.
Do not fear,
I am yours,
but
I am not the passenger or the beggar,
I am your master,
the one you were waiting for,
and now I enter
your life,
no more to leave it,
love, love, love,
but to stay.
