Future nostalgia

so that’s that

Crazy night in the museum

a forever mood

Funeral inspo. But also life inspiration. Hold space for inconveniences. Show up raw. Give space to the ugly versions of you so they can live and die.

The original poem this piece is built on is called ‘Tract’ - written by William Carlos William (whose work was a muse for the film Paterson).

A short story by Salvador Dalí and Walt Disney.

Conceived 58 years, in 1945, close to 60 years before it was released. It tells a story of a haunting romance between Dahlia, a mortal woman struggling to find love, and Chronos, an all-powerful titan and the personification of time itself. The story is set to a love ballad composed by Fantasia composer Armando Dominguez.

I like the contrast between Dalí and Disney’s reflections on the story:

As Dalí explained to the press at the time, the animation was “a magical exposition of the problem of life in the labyrinth of time”, while Disney attempted to tone down his art-speak, describing it as “just a simple story of a girl in search of her real love.”
