Ideal camping terrain at Melt!

Ideal camping terrain at Melt!

We  are having a great time all over Germany, at festivals, at farms and in the capital. Yesterday at the bar at our camp site we watched a show of two musicians playing the most wonderful vintage 70´s film music, with old super 8 movies playing at a screen behind them. It was awesome. After that we went to a club, and then it was night, going on morning.

Glowing tent

When I first used my lightmeter again after I got it back from repairs I thought it was still broken, but now it seems I was using it wrong, so there are lots of Yashica D shots to be developed when I get back. Yeah.

Behind the scenes

I’m building a new place for all my creative works to go, you can check it out while it’s under construction here. It’s not done, so this is not an official announcement for my new incredibly professional portfolio site, the URL might even still change, it’s just a hint to have a look behind the scenes. Stuff will get updated and completed in the next weeks (?) so keep coming back and you will actually see a work in progress!

Swirving bones

Swerving bones

Donate your body to science and you might end up on some aspiring artist’s canvas. Yesterday we drew skeletons. I have always found bones and skulls very uninspiring, mainly because I looked at them as worn out symbols of commercialised punk and all that.

But now that I had two real skeletons in front of me hanging by wires and threads I suddenly saw the beauty. I was quite taken by all those swirling lines and and organic shapes, and the fact that we all carry such a genius maze-like construction inside of us. Or more accurate: that it actually carries us. It can even move in most ways imaginable. All in all I now think that skeletons are pretty awesome, and I hope you could tell from the drawings.

This man I drew (we concluded it was man because his hips were quite narrow and high up) gave his body to science after he died. I keep thinking he probably hasn’t been watched as closely and carefully during his entire lifetime as after his death, now that he’s an art school model.

Play with your emulsion

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

A Polaroid camera takes cassettes that not only have 10 instant pictures inside, ready to roll, but also a pair of batteries that power the whole camera. I had the luck that the batteries in my first cassette went dead after 4 shots. It was kind of a bummer because those shots cost a lot of money (more than the camera) and now I wasted 6 out of 10. But then I discovered that even unexposed instant photos can be great fun, and even beautiful when processed by my finger and the back of a paintbrush.

The colours that develop after you push the emulsion out of the pocket at the bottom of the ‘picture’ are amazing, and the structures, especially when viewed large, resemble the stuff you see on Google maps around the northern shore of Russia, only in pink and and grey hues!
