The sunday quote(s)! In memory of a fantastic artist.

“The most erotic zone is the imagination.”

- Vivienne Westwood

“I do think if you aim for quality, it’s not so much about consumerism. The idea is ‘Buy less, choose well, make it last,’”

- Vivienne Westwood

Great to be back on the road with my brother! Interviewing electoral commissioners and having interesting discussions about democracy. The tension and responsibility they have to support sometimes during elections is almost unimaginable. Greetings from Mozambique #film3 fam!

@TheFoodiesTribe Foodies is going to change the world, one bite at a time.

[The Foodies Tribe @TheFoodiesTribe]

It’s been quiet for a while, but behind the scenes lot’s happening! To move a project like Foodies to the #web3 / #film3 and #nft space needs planning to build a strong foundation. We’re discussing technical, philosophical and ethical issues. It’s all very inspiring. News Soon!!!

@ibraheemleone Sankofa has been a very important theme in my life and work (I’m a filmmaker) . At the moment we are preparing a children series about food filmed in Ghana. One of the themes will be local crops and history of the plants and recipes. Would be nice if you join @TheFoodiesTribe

“Requiem for a friend” - Just a brick
(Last picture of the series)

A few days after Terra passed away, his parents found a autobiographical manuscript under his bed. The last sentence of this book is a quote from Pink Floyd: “all in all, it's just another brick in the wall.”

[nema @nemastoja]

A special documentary by my friend @kevinme95894939.

Touching. Inspiring. Timeless.

“Requiem for a friend” - Paradise -
September 11, 2009. Terra died while crossing the railways at a station called "Paradise" during a storm. Shortly after the accident the sky turned blue and the sun came out again, it felt as if the storm only passed to pick up his soul.

“Requiem for a friend” - Paradise -

...For me his accident alway felt like his last artistic performance: dying at a station called “Paradise” at 9/11. "13 years have passed since you left this dimension my friend, but you’re still in our memory".
RIP

“Requiem for a friend” - Transcendence -
We always felt suffocated by society and our cultural heritage. There was and still is the deep rooted feeling to transcend all of it, to break free into something else, something unknown…

[Kevin Merz - co director - Generative Center @O_91Kevin]

Requiem for a friend - addiction -

…hard drugs started circulating. Terra fell in love with Heroin:“it’s my anti-depressant, I need it to bear this sick society!” He spiraled into a heavy addiction, unfortunately till his tragic death, he never got the monkey off his back.

Series “Requiem for a friend”
- nights -
When my friend Terra was 21 years old he painted this red characters on black canvases. They represent to me the passion of youth, fire, desire and life itself. Nights were always an adventure, a search for new experiences and alteration
