There was an instillation by a French artist in 2012. He called it 'Panic Room'. His instillation took a hotel room and split it down the middle to contrast two extremes. Surrounded by election talk I find myself hearing and expressing extremes on a daily basis only to later decide that my actual emotion likely lies somewhere in the middle.

Director: Benjamin Roudet / Big Addict Year: 2012 Music: Peter Bjorn and Jhon - Up Against The Wall (Writer's Block album) Label: Wichita Recording / V2 RECORDS Tilt : The hotel Au vieux panier asked me to design a room, I first told them that I wasn't interested doing just decoration in the room but I wanted to create something that will look more like an installation. I thought about it also as a huge canvas where I needed to think about the composition and play with the empty white part of the room to accentuate more the idea of Chaos on the other part. Then I asked my friend Tober who gat a great old school style for tags, Grizz who is also the man behind the camera and Don Cho who is a Hip Hop singer from Marseille but who used to be a tagger from my home town Toulouse. It took one week to do the whole thing cause the idea was to exaggerate what you can usually see in some abandoned places. Too much tags, too much drips, too much sentences, too much throw ups ... What I also wanted to show is that people can appreciate any type of graffiti, even the more basic, it's just a matter of point of view ... bigaddict.com graffitilt.com auvieuxpanier.com

How often do you feel the contradiction in yourself? Do you acknowledge your own hypocrisy or avoid it. I find myself hot and cold, up and down, yearning for calm one moment and chaos the next.

Not all of this is directly related but I have always found it so interesting that even though so many people feel somewhere in the middle of most topics, we feel most comfortable in the absolutes.

A while ago I made myself two playlists of music. One titled "Harsh" and the other titled "Subdued". I kept them private until today. Explore the two sides of me (and potentially yourself) and please send me music that you think would compliment one of the playlists. I am going to keep them updated over time so bookmark one of them if you enjoy it.
