Book Clock by Masaaki Hiromura

The graphic designer Masaaki Hiromura has installed what is perhaps the most analog, digital clock ever. It’s comprised of an ever-repeating video loop featuring 3 books, each representing the hours, minutes and seconds of a single day. A hand neurotically and relentlessly flips through the pages as if to remind us that time never stops moving.
It’s currently on view at MUJI in Shibuya, which just underwent a major renovation and reopened at the beginning of this month.

Awake

do you ever have those experiences where you ....realize every little mistake you made in your life. not only realize....but fear everything else you do afterwards ...fear every decision you make, fear every movement. you become caged in a prison of fear and anxiety. lately i have been asking the wrong questions in life ....and they made me feel despair...they made me so despair that i fear killing myself. ...did i finally lose my mind....did i finally lose myself ,... i feel like i want to sit in a corner of a closed room, and cover myself with a thick sheet and stay there for god knows how long. i am not gonna lie to you, i love life....and i hate it. thats right ... i love it and i hate it. i love it because ....its just beautiful if you look at it from the right perspective. and i hate it because i really don't know one thing about it. sometimes i imagine Davey Jones approaching me and saying his famous line "Do you fear death??!". and then i would say..........nothi...

what if the world would end tomorrow?

here is a question i have been thinking about for a while .....what if the world would end tomorrow?. to be honest i think i would probably pray for a long while...then i would probably smoke a cigarette. i always wanted to to know what it feels to smoke a last cigarette, and i honestly always wanted to know what cigarettes taste like. i wouldn't worry about family that much. i have been with them for my entire life. i think they will be okay for one day. i think i would eventually panic though, but i think when the last minute comes i would grab a paper bag and put it on my head and lay down. like those guys from the movie "the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy", or maybe i would take a sleeping pill or something. i mean, whats the point of witnessing how you will die?. lets be honest, its gonna be painful, its gonna be a very short show, and you will probably regret it in the afterlife. then again it could be a nice chat topic, people would gather around and each on...

Prayers for a pure soul

Rima Nawawi, despite the fact that i don't really know you. but when i saw your smile it seemed just simply so pure and beautiful. i am saddened to know that you are not among us today, but i am sure you are in a better place right now, and despite the fact that you wont read this, i want you to know that since you loved drawing, designing, and art in general; i am dedicating my artistic works to you. اسال الله العلي القدير ان يغفر لك ويرحمك وان يجعل مثواك الفردوس الاعلى ......
