*The artefact tells the story*
The idea behind this documentary is very simple; nevertheless it results in a complex story. An Qi Ju asked, over the course of a year, to many different people to tell about their quilts. A quilt is a highly valued object in China, and everyone has at least one. We see students, soldiers, poor peasants and rich city people. We see how the quilt has a special meaning for marriage and for death. We see how people connect their hopes, dreams, lust, illusions, desires and fears to quilts.
Talking about the quilt is for An Qi Ju a way to collect many different personal stories. At first many people say a quilt is so mundane that there is nothing to say about it. But they do have personal stories about their quilts. We never stay long enough with one story to be able to attach ourselves to individuals in the film. The many people talking about their quilts and revealing parts of their daily lives in this film stay anonymous. But together they help us analyse the huge differences between modernity and traditions in Chinese society.
We see how quilts are made, at home and in factories. We see how quilts become old and worn-out but still are loved by their owners. We hear different opinions on what makes a good quilt. And we see how people use and treat quilts, with love or carelessly. This is not a story about the functions of quilts, it is about why people love certain quilts and do not care about others. The love for a quilt mostly comes form the story behind it, where it was made or bought, by whom, for what occasion, what people experienced in their lives over the periods they used the quilt, and so on.
The film shows that an artefact can tell stories, because the artefact has a meaning in the life of the people who use it. Even if people talk about the artefact, in fact they talk about themselves. And these stories are often more interesting than when you would have asked them directly about their marriage or the death of a loved one. You can’t really design for those stories I think, but it is good to realise that people will attach stories to the artefacts you design and how that influences their perception of the object. This can clearly inspire us at the beginning of a design process.

*Creating meaning through editing*
In the early days of film, especially in the 1920s in the Soviet Union, filmmakers have experimented with editing existing material to find out how film in general can create meaning and tell a story.
The most famous example is perhaps the short sequence that Lev Kuleshov edited around 1918 out of one close-up shot of the actor Ivan Mozzhukhin with a neutral expression on his face, and the shots of a plate of soup, a girl and a coffin. He edited the face shot between the other shots and showed the sequence to an audience, who according to filmmaker Vsevolod Pudovkin “raved about the acting.... the heavy pensiveness of his mood over the forgotten soup, were touched and moved by the deep sorrow with which he looked on the dead woman, and admired the light, happy smile with which he surveyed the girl at play. But we knew that in all three cases the face was exactly the same.” [Pudovkin, ‘Naturshchik vmesto aktera’, in Sobranie sochinenii, volume I, Moscow: 1974, p.184, cited in wikipedia].
This experiment showed that the meaning of a film shot is not fixed and that editing can add or perhaps even change meaning. This discovery is the basis for a subgenre of compilation films, that use their material often in a critical and dialectical way.
As design researchers we can use this technique also in a dialectical and critical way. We do not need to see this effect as a danger that compromises the realistic quality of the images we shoot in our research. Rather it offers opportunities to construct meaning in your film, to show the results of your research and not just the notes you took on video.
I did not find a tape or DVD of this film.
Its the end of the summer, so loads of compilations out.... This one from Wax N Soul Records and features our tune 'Love Hangover'
First small compilation of some of my favourite images that are available in the gallery. Some may not be fantastic shots, but for one reason or another, I just like them
My first Blythe, customised by me (first&last). She's a little traveller. She viseted many palces with me, Berlin, Barcelona, Dubai, Zanzibar are just examples.

The German printer Ratdolt was celebrated for his illustrated editions of scientific works. This astrological treatise dates from around 1270 but its subject matter still interested Renaissance readers. The pages displayed refer to comets and the consequences for human health when they appeared during various zodiac signs.
Compilation for this year's Funjunkie Summer Burn
Summer photos for the front and a Burning Cup and Saucer for the back.
Mixed media: India ink, graphite, red chalk on drawing paper.
Comprised of emulations of preliminary master sketches. While these works often preceded a complete piece or were intended to provide a sort of reference to what the final piece may look like, I chose simply to compile them, thus emphasizing the idea that no great idea can be followed to fruition without initial conceptualization. Includes sketches by Rubens, da Vinci, Degas, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, and Pontormo.
