Singles #18

I took this pho­to­graph in the summer of 2008. It must have been in the evening as that window faced (still faces) west. Liu Bing was playing with her phone. Hugo was in the other room watching a film (Apo­ca­lypse Now Redux, probably — I remember us com­menting on its beau­tiful colours and won­dering which film stock they used). After­wards the three us ate — dumpings, possibly, or barbecue bought on a street near the apart­ment. I can’t remember the context with crystal clarity, but the pho­to­graph helps me to remember.
