• speaking of mongrels - Jews/cosmopolitanism
• Trade import/export
• Are there many documents or photos of the family?

23.05.22 - Rosella (G-Zi, V01)

• pacing is different or inbalanced - could be more consistent or intentional
• seems to be propelled by action - what if there's more non-space e.g. like the saucepan boiling, there's a lot of overlapping information
• it's described as a performance - what if the video was a one shot lasting the duration of the cooking?
• is moving away from first person perspective necessary? It disrupts the immersion. Can it be a more extreme disruption?
• possibility that this is a prolonged period of artistic research and documentation leading to a work which is more 'mediated'or formally considered

• Bodily movements

• embedded history
• considering your own position in relation to where yuour from - meal as a portal to the past to relate to family - to tell the story of hiding in plain sight - you should do a few more - get richer thicker - connections will start to appear - & the characterisation of yourself will grow stronger as well -
• you're a medium since you're relaying what you heard in another place - youre channeling something from the past - it's all embodied through the voice -
• connections - where am i and what's my place - amongst all these conflicting discourses - is it enough just to regurgitate existing text - is it a way to construct an identity - its an exploration of these things - i thin theres something about in/authenticity a very high form of art
• playing with identity - always more complex than where were from and the religion we were born into
• 'Argo' with Jon Goodman and Ban Affleck - lots of typecasting etc.

17.10.22 Project Mentor session (Visual Abstract V1)

• interesting to use the word 'host' - it relates to hospitality, hostility, hostess, ghost all from the wortd 'ghosti' the root word, which sounds like ghost and relates to sci fi
• artistic labour as feeding the public of the host culture
• remember the reverse funnel metaphor. Don't take loads of complex ideas and hope that a single pure artwork will plop out. You need to turn the funnel upside down. Execute one simple idea and see the possibilties that come out the other side.
• keep things simple - in vernacular terms - in concrete terms. Don't rely on all the academci nuances, that may push you into a corner.
• I - Henry Lefbre 'Production of Space'
• now it's a mish mash - this is interesting - you've got all the flavours - see what you need to keep and take away.
