Katrien Van Hecke

August 20th, 2008

Katrien Van Hecke was inspired by ballet dancing amongst other things, when she designed her collection. I guess Frederik Heyman really captured that very well in his photographs. The seagull print is nice touch, it’s a reference to her hometown Ostend (at the Belgian coast).
Balance is where it’s at.

Waterdrop

August 20th, 2008

Waterdrop

Héctor Serrano Studio designed this installation called Waterdrop for Roca. Hunderds of sticks with a light on top, can move up and down. Together they can mimic a water surface. This effect was achieved by attaching those sticks to a flexible platter. In that way, the movement is very organic, water like. Have a look for yourself: the Waterdrop video.

The World’s Greatest Music Collection

August 20th, 2008

Sean Dunne made this little documentary about ‘The World’s Greatest Music Collection‘. Paul Mawhinney used to have a record store, from each record he sold he kept the last one to add to his archive. So in the end he has an unique collection of 3.000.000 records. Unfortunately he has to let go of it, but apparently no one shows any serious interest in buying it.
This movie is heartbreaking, Paul really was in it for the love for music.

This video shows Denis Darzacq, a French photographer, at work while he was shooting his ‘La Chute‘ series. He used street dancers to create these images that give you the illusion of people flying or falling through space.
