up in here


It is not rare that educational disciplines cross paths; the hierchical nature of the "liberal arts and sciences" implies that there should be some sort of homoplasy between any two studies.
I have been enrolled in the class "Existentialism and the Absurd," taught in French, which has thus far concerned Jean-Paul Sartre (and other existentialists). In parallel, I have been working on a film project involving Jean-Claude Van Damme (and other action stars).

  • Jean-Paul Sartre
  • born in Paris, France
  • existence precedes essence
  • the self can only be defined through action
  • "l'enfer...c'est les autres" (hell...is other people)
  • Jean-Claude Van Damme
  • born in Brussels, Belgium
  • "muscles from brussels"
  • action star
  • "Don't fuck with me, I'm about to have a very bad day."
