My Take
Tao Ruspoli is exactly the kind of restless polymath I find irresistible. Born in Bangkok, Italian-American, Berkeley-educated, and working as filmmaker, photographer and musician, he refuses to sit inside any single label. Directing a Heidegger documentary like Being in the World signals a thinker, not just a stylist, and co-founding an art biennale in a desert town is the sort of gloriously impractical gesture I admire. People who move freely across borders and disciplines tend to make the most interesting work, even when it is uneven. I would rather follow a curious wanderer like him than a safe specialist any day.
