Happy Birthday Jim
2023
PHOTOGRAPHY
To celebrate the 70th birthday of Jim Jarmusch, an extraordinary film director and a tremendous artist, I have created a series of photographs inspired by his six movies that have undoubtedly shaped my personality. Thank you Jim for every minute of your cinema!

Eve:
How can you've lived for so long and still not get it? This self obsession is a waste of living. It could be spend in surviving things, appreciating nature, nurturing kindness and friendship, and dancing. You have been pretty lucky in love though, if I may say so.

Location: Gutshaus Ramin
Corky:
I'm real particular, you know, and I'm also patient enough. I mean, at least I hope I am. Cause, you know, I don't know, maybe you got to wait awhile, you know. Cause, like, maybe it's not so easy to find like the exact, right guy, you know. Like, the one guy, you know.
Victoria Snelling:
Another mechanic, maybe? Huh?
Corky:
Hell, I don't care what he does. Just as long as he loves me, right - with his soul. You know, takes me for who I am.

Tom Waits:
You know, the beauty of quitting is,
now that I've quit... I can have one. Because I've quit.
I mean, it's just like jewelry.
You know, it's not really...
I don't even inhale.
You want to join me in one?
Iggy Pop:
Yeah, since I quit. Okay.

Are you gangster?
Don Johnston:
No. I wish.

Why do you always have such a sad face? Are you unhappy?

I'm very happy. That's just the way my face is.

What is your name?
Nobody:
My name is Nobody.
William Blake:
Excuse me?

My name is Exaybachay. He Who Talks Loud, Saying Nothing.
