Been a really busy week of editing the new work and making preparations for Looking from a distance, which opens on the 10th September. The work is looking really great thanks to the editing skills of Andrzej Wojtas (Hacksquad) and we are now making the final adjustments to the colour grade and sound.
I am thinking of using either Without Mind or The Mind Without Mind for the title of the piece. Both are translations of Zen expressions, either mushin or mushin no shin, which refers to the idea of focus through a de-focusing of thought, losing anger, fear and ego and achieving a sense of flow. The term applies directly to the practice of the Japanese martial arts though it can be achieved in other areas of life. Scientific research has shown that martial arts practitioners have an increased ability to regulate brain wave activity through entering this flow 'zone'.
