It's only once we've lost EVERYTHING, that we're free to do ANYTHING.

Documenting Fight Club, Directed by David Fincher.
As Part of my Final Major Project I've watched 'Fight Club' by David Fincher, as the Narrator and Tyler live in buildings very similar to these derelict warehouses that I have visited. Not to mention the fact that I LOVE this film! It's gripping, intense and has a blooming good storyline, so if you haven't seen it get yourself down to Blockbuster (If they still exist) or better yet, buy it!

Anyway, back on topic, I found huge amounts of interesting quotes that I could use for my project particularly Tyler's insight on material possessions: 'It's only once we've lost everything that we're free to do anything'. It's very powerful and very true at the same time, similar to Marla's view on this generation: 'The condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You meet a stranger. Put one on and go dancing, and then you throw it away.. The condom I mean not the stranger of course'.  There are key points in here, and I'm going to incorporate them into my practice. We'll just have to see how it all pans out.
