THE HAVISHAM HOUR - podcast cover

THE HAVISHAM HOUR

Each day I read a single page of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. After reading the page I use it as format to create artwork inspired by the words in it. I then scan the sketched page and publish it, along with a brief journal entry and the reading of the page, exactly at 8:40 AM each day, on my local time, the time in the novel when Miss Havisham receives a letter on her wedding day announcing her groom is not showing up. The project started January 7th, 2013 and it will end June 12th, 2014: 521 days, 521 pages, 521 sketches.

You remain silent until you speak, and then the space in your lungs is left empty. We win a victory over nothingness. Nobody cares. If we die in proportion of the words we toss around, then our resting ground is really meaningless. Just turn the lights off before you leave.-- Page read by SMARANDA LUNA here: http://goo.gl/hGDgys. www.HavishamHour.com ©2014 Julio Panisello. Th...

Never mind fretting about the mirrors. You have to be truly perverse to understand goodness, and looking endlessly into your own centrifugal self will get you there, quickly. However, I doubt you'll ever be eloquent enough to understand the opposite point. We get stuck on perverse.-- Page read by FARRAH KARAPETIAN here: htt...

There is no secret formula to be an artist, you just have to do a good job at it and share it in the end, that's all. There are no shortcuts. Charlatanism + ecstasy=lazy art, right?-- Page read by NICHOLAS FENNESSY here: http://goo.gl/xh0WVd. www.HavishamHour.com ©2014 Julio Panisello. The Havisham Hour will end in 5 days.

When you return to "it", your heart softens. You can eat pizza there all day long. By the way, any pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself. But you heart is hard, you never try anything, and you don't believe in yourself: you will never return.-- Page read by AARON KUNIN here: http://goo.gl/h56Ilo. www.Hav...

But today that tiny level of vulgarity before passing is not kept to a minimum anymore, it has become its own single reality. We die in the most vulgar, insipid, and trivial way.
