Book:

Sigizmoens Krzjizjanovski, Autobiografie van een lijk en andere verhalen (2020) Uitgeverij Vleugels

This is a new Dutch translation of a collection of short stories, written between 1922 and 1939 by the Polish-Russian writer Sigizmoens Krzjizjanovski. These stories are filled with magic, such as room-expanding ointments and a man’s life goal to bite his own elbows. Very inspirational.

Exhibition:

Risquons-Tout at Wiels, Brussels

An intense accumulation of impressions that feeds your brain and sensory system for a couple of lockdowns.

Songs:

Playing the following Kate Bush songs in a row:

Babooshka (1980)
Wuthering Heights (1978)
Army Dreamers (1980)

Very enjoyable, I must admit ;)

(If you are up for it, play the song Wood (2017) by Rostam, which makes for a bizarre afterparty.)

Album:

Putting on Joe Henderson’s Black Narcissus (1969) Concord Music, and playing along.

Film:

David Cronenberg, Crash (1996)

This was my first cinema experience after the first lock down and it sure did hit.

*Bonus track:

Episode 2 from Fishing with John (1991) with Tom Waits.
