DOOMED LOVERS
Wuthering Heights
Emily Bronte
In the past few days I have watched the two part drama on ITV and the 1939 film with Laurence Olivier. Now I want to read the book again.
I'm intrigued by this gorgeously gothic obsessive love.

"Tragic in Love, Tragic in Death"
SID & NANCY
"I killed her ...I cant live without her"
Described as the punk rock Romeo and Juliet
I WROTE I LOVE BLAKE WITH MIRROR ON MY BELLY
Amy Winehouse
Shot by Terry Richardson
Blake was present throughout and during the shoot Amy scrapped a piece of broken mirror across her stomach. Scratching I LOVE BLAKE into her skin.
BOHEMIAN LOVE
Bohemian Love
Lyrics Peter Doherty
Sung by Coco Sumner
I quite like overlapping these videos of the song Bohemian Love. Starting the bottom one a few seconds before the top video. It adds a strange, beautiful ghostly emphasis on the lyrics.

Liberating the powers of the unconscious
"Everything leads me to believe that there exists a certain point in the human mind at which life and death, the real and the imaginary, the past and the future, the communicable and the incommunicable, the high and the low cease being percievd as contradictions"
Andre Breton
The Second Surrealist Manifesto, 1924
"Surrealists rebelled against the norm- they sought to escape reality, expressing their fantasies through images juxtaposed with reality. Its founder, Breton, wrote about the place in the human mind where dream and fantasy would be joined with the everyday rational world we live in- "an absolute reality, a surreality".
