Cabinet of Lost Things

I was lazy and I was out of focus in the last few month, and I thought I"ll never go back to blogging (or rather, I"ll go back to it when I find the time and patience - something that will never happen), until I stumble upon a story that one of my favourite artists ever - Laurie Anderson - told, regarding her last project "Homeland":
"The project began while I was at the 2005 World Expo in Aichi, Japan. I was doing a film called Hidden Inside Mountains, a series of visual fables presented on a huge stage. They had written words—postcards of sorts. One of them had a story about the feeling of losing things, like when you’ve lost something and you’re trying to put your finger on what it was. And you think, what’s that thing you’ve lost? Car keys… password… The Japanese translator was asking me, “What did you lose?” And I said, “No, it’s about the feeling of losing things, not the thing itself.” And she asked, “Well, when did you lose it?” And I thought, “Ah, now I’m being psychoanalyzed by the translator. How great.” But I really did try to think about when this happened, and I realized it was when we were invading Iraq, and that what I’d lost was my country. That was the moment I discovered I’d really like to write about this sensation. How does your sense of place affect who you are?"
I"ll try to blog again, and regain the sense of places, objects, and people that affect me..
