The Wabi-Sabi in Super 8

The thing about the colored striped toe socks … it's a kind of subdivision of Wabi-Sabi.

And so it happened: just before my very first workshop (Los Angeles summer 2008) I was thinking about how to push my kids (age 15 to 21) in a joyful and colorful way onto their film path.

10 participants. 10 toes on wandering feet. Pull on your socks, imaginary or real, disguise yourself a little bit, pluck up courage and a certain amount of craziness and go ahead, film!

From that moment on I'm always busy on ebay shortly before the next upcoming workshop, buy new toe socks, take them with me and give them away.
Some of my students used them spontaneously, converted them into gloves (cold Rotterdam winter), used them as letters to form words or just animated them.
You don't have to, you can as well take them home as a symbol!

Let's see how the story continues!
