Because who is perfect?


"Because who is perfect"
Pro Infirmis
Director Alain Gsponer

This initiative displays disabled mannequins for astonished passers-by at the Zurich Bahnhofstrasse. Between immaculate dolls are also people with scoliosis or brittle bone disease modelling for the latest fashion. Some have shortened limbs, the other a deformed spine.

The motto is "Who is perfect? Come closer." And encourages us to reflect on the acceptance of people with disabilities.

The film captures the process from when the models first come in, to the finished display. When video comes together in one unity of humanity, creativity and bravery - I like it.

Talking of loneliness

How to be alone
By Tanya Davis

In no connection to my last blog post at all, but I just like this very simple poetic video by Tanya Davis about how to practice being alone. I like the animations too.
We are quite afraid of it, aren´t we? I like going to the movies alone, but I don´t like eating alone at a restaurant, not even having a coffee by myself, unless I look extremely tied up doing something massively important - like checking my Twitter account. I really don´t like having a drink by myself. Spending far too many years as a blond single woman in foreign countries, the repercussions have been too severe.
I do like being alone. But I don´t like feeling lonely.
