Johan Gabrielsen

Black mixed with too much red.

But these are worse than a couple of black cherries.

They're the color of a flat screen after you turn it off.

The other day I was shopping and I saw one, and it was like, shit, I know that color.

Where have I seen it before?

Oh, right, my nipples.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yes, and all these women's bodies, like in your face, and she's commenting on how the physicality of it, yeah, I mean, it's corporal fiction, I would describe it.

I mean, there is so much bodies and what comes out of bodies and thoughts about menstruations and all that stuff that comes together, so it feels very physical.

Well, as being Swedish and liking Japanese literature, I've actually been reading poems by a fantastic Swedish poet.

And he's been translated into English.

And I made programs actually about him.

There was a program called Poetica a couple of years ago on poetry.

Yes.

And his name was Thomas Trostrom.

He's passed away, but he was a Nobel Prize winner.

And he loved haiku poems, the Japanese haiku poems.

And he kind of translated the haiku poems into Japanese

Swedish landscapes, and he was amazing of describing Swedish nature.
