many of my favourite people are graduating next year when i’m not here, or have already graduated this year (like my sister!). i leave montreal having completed my major, with two years of study behind me and a year of study abroad ahead of me, so the next time i’m back i will only have graduation to look forward to. i guess i’ve said some farewells prematurely, but it feels like the right time to do so.

i recently came across this swedish company’s website, sommarnöjen, thanks to my continuous and undying love of small houses in remote landscapes (you might recall this post). unfortunately i do not understand swedish (yet…) but from what i could make of the information provided, sommarnöjen commissioned three of sweden’s best architectural firms to design and build a series of 15-square meter houses – 15-square meters because only then are building permits not required.

the summer never ends 5

regnet 9

tableaus of human encounters, where memories are mixed with longing for those that have yet to be realized. slowly, the movement washes over our characters, forming a pattern of which they are unaware – they are all linked. the rain touches them all.

i was surfing the channels on tv the other day and happened to catch swedish choreographer pontus lidberg’s half-hour film entitled “the rain“. it’s like a modern, fantastically delicate remix of gene kelly’s singin’ in the rain sequence, only shot entirely in and around stockholm…

what i found especially neat (in addition to the beautiful choreography, of course) was the text in the film – drops of rain would hit the words at random spots and ‘blur’ them – i love these little details! unfortunately the film is not anywhere to be found online, but there is a short clip available on lidberg’s website.

will hopefully update in a bit :)
