Love, death, serendipity

Love, death, serendipity

Sometimes everything seems to turn on a sixpence and hit the beat. After working from Hampstead today (sooo productive) biked down to spend a couple of hours with Miki absorbed in LOVE/DEATH: The Tristan Project, Bill Viola’s video installations at the Haunch of Venison gallery. In an age when attention is the most precious commodity and the most begrudged, Viola’s meditative pieces — inspired by Tristan und Isolde and The Tibetan Book of the Dead — hold and fascinate. See too his Tate Modern webcast on his work and on the disappearance of solitude.

A fine dry evening when we emerged, quite unlike the autumnal day (programming weather!) I’d spent indoors. So behind Liberty & Co. at the north end of Carnaby St, we found a delicious and affordable light dinner outdoors at Leon and the beatbox music of Streetbox.
