Manufactured Landscapes (2006)
AMAZING. amazing. so straight to the point that there is no real good/bad message, amazing. the power of images is on the level of koyanniqatsi (sp), baraka, and samsara really. Ed Burtynsky's work so good

"There are times when I have thought about my work and putting it more in a politicized environment...but then people will either disagree or agree. But by not doing that, that may allow them to look at something that they never looked at and to see their world a little differently. So I think many people today sit in that uncomfortable spot where we don't necessarily want to give up what we have but we realize what we're doing is creating problems that run deep. It's not a simple right or wrong. It needs a whole new way of thinking."


Our City Dreams (2008)
 I fucking. love. this. I havent even watched the whole thing yet but Marina Abramovic? Kiki Smith? and SWOON? SWOON OPENING UP THIS MOVIE MAKES ME SOO FUCKING HAPPY. <3
