ok, i know there isn't much time to make this, but if any of you happen to read this post this evening, make sure you see gus van sant's film 'gerry', which is on sbs tonight at 11.30 ( i think). lots of amazing existential issues to be sorted out here.
in some ways a film like this is a good way of further fleshing out your characters. i've had a couple of good comments about the characters and it seems a number of you are becoming deeply involved in this. this is good as it gives you a depth of material to work on in conjunction with your architectural design.
in many respects this is entirely in keeping with Hejduk's encyclopaediac interest in different 'types' of persons. in hejduk, people embody their profession and perform the functions of those tasks in an almost ritualistic fashion. hejduk imagines a universe of architectural persons that populate a city in the same waythat buildings populate the urban fabric.
like a number of his erstwhile literary influences, franz kafka, elias canetti, jorge louis borges, the world is composed of persons and forces that are never fully comprehensible. there is a mystery at the heart of all relations that allow for the chance of the fantastic to occur.

remember to look for images to illustrate your study. find out what this perons or persons might look like. try to avoid caricature. choose images that have a sense of drama to their subject matter, that they are about something. the best place to start looking for this is here. just try to avoid images that are overly cute, overly pretentious, immature, badly composed, off the point, or involve babies or cats (there seems to be a lot of these). or go take your own.
keep writing and keep reseraching.
