As well you should be.

What a curse it must be to be an architect. To be able to conceive and design spaces that could never be built.

This one really hit me in the feels for some reason - I can't pinpoint why, but I feel this unnerving sense of futility undercut by wonder. The ending screen really amps it up!

immediately went and bought a copy of piranesi from the bookstore across the street thank you very much

cant stop wondering if a body that is perpetually falling can decompose... thanks for that (also wonderful video as always)

This has “This is not for you.” in the background most of the time.

The copy of "House of Leaves" in the background was the cherry on top of this amazing video!

Finished Piranesi last week. It had such a brilliant beginning and your video ties that book in with your other topics beautifully.

I keep coming back to this video, I think I've listened to it at least 4 times while I'm going about my day. For some reason finite but unfathomable blows my mind more than infinite

hello! new supporter who would like you to know i sent this video to my mom after it made me cry. she didn't get it and it made me feel very alone but i still adore this video and how incredibly it communicates its ideas... i think about a lot of your work a lot. the ending of your haunted house video still lives rent free in my head. keep doing ur thing my dude <3
