Miranda July

Ornella: "The story is about everything and nothing at the same time. It's about women, motherhood, relationships, and love – and a little bit about men. I'm not sure yet if 'bad man' refers to a male person or to another human. I wanted to read something by a contemporary American artist. I'm a German multimedia artist and I admire that Miranda July does everything – she's a filmmaker, performance artist, writer, she has made an app. She seems light and heavy at the same time and her work does too. My work plays with kitsch, I use NASA imagery. It's pink and purple, and everything seems so dreamy and looks super romantic, but there's a long technological process behind it. Pictures of nebulas are taken via telescope and the light travels for such a long time that what we see might not exist anymore. I like that. It's all interpretation and we can only look so far." @studio_ornella_fieres reading #TheFirstBadMan by #MirandaJuly / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at Clinton–Washington Avenues)

The First Bad Man by Miranda July

“Then I realized that we all think we might be terrible people. But we only reveal this before we ask someone to love us. It is a kind of undressing.” #mirandajuly #thefirstbadman #americanartist #filmdirector #screenwriter #singer #actor #author #greatread (at Akron, Ohio)
