Balloon man’s last walk

Photography · Feb 01, 2013

For those of us who look to the skies, this photographic project compels our attention. Viktor Gårdsäter is a 28 year old photographer living in Stockholm, Sweden. ‘Balloon man’s last walk’ is one of his latest fashion stories about an elderly man’s last day alive. It all comes down to that striking idea of this man, tethered to a metallic blue balloon, and his nostalgic journey to significant places and sweet memories of life, in a last walk and a farewell to the city. The balloon works as a metaphor for death and in the end takes the old man to the sky, fulfilling its promise of carrying us all away.

Niem

Design · Jun 19, 2013

Maren Bönsch presented her project ‘Niem’ at this years DMY in Berlin. Niem is to be defined as a portrait of a person, encoded in a textile medium. It is not to the concrete image of the person, it is rather a visualization of its memories and desires – the result is always an individual carpet, made for one specific person.

Martin Ilgner creates beautiful, sensitive photographs that evoke tender memories of a place called home. Where a life surrounded by nature is waiting and you can walk barefoot over grassland, picking blackberries while a fresh breeze is playing around your legs. In his photography, Ilgner has always strived for an honest, organic and authentic aesthetic.

Playtime

Design · Jun 19, 2013

Alias

Art · Jun 19, 2013

The sculpture ‘Alias’ seems like a strange indefinable creature. It was created for the Orangery Palace Rheda by Miriam Jonas. In forty seconds rhythm the structure made of transparent PVC is filled with air from a blower. Once the fan is turned off, air escapes from the Sculpture and almost breathing, it seems as if it is has come to life.

‘The serpent that ate its own tail’. Under this title the photographer Catherine Losing photographed the work staged by food stylist Iain Graham. Grotesque and mesmerizing images. We are overpowered by an almost childlike curiosity pushing us to discuss the observed system.

Located in Nagahama city, Japan, this house was designed by the Comma Design Office .

Negative Space

Design · Jun 18, 2013

Negative space in art is what you call the space that surrounds a subject or is between two or more subjects of an image. The negative space is most evident when it creates an interesting pattern or figure around the subject. It is often used as a kind of a tool to emphasize the relevant part of an image.

Places

Photography · Jun 17, 2013

Deserted, silent and draped in mist the cities and landscapes in Alex Fradkin shots seem like enchanted, long forgotten worlds in between. Illusive and yet tangible – the concept of place is a fundamental subject of many photographic works by Alex Fradkin, woven like a golden thread through his work and linkes most of his photographic projects together.
