Film Friday

As quoted from Zeitguised website, “Zeitguised made a piece in six acts for the opening exhibition at the Zirkel Gallery. It entails six imaginations of disoriented systems that take a catastrophic turn, including the evolution of educational plant-body-machine models and liquid building materials.”

I hope everyone enjoys their Memorial Day Weekend!! :) Up to anything fun?  Please share so I live vicariously through you since I'll be working all weekend. :)

Juxtaposition Art

 

English conceptual artist John Stezaker creates interesting juxtaposition art by combining old photographs and postcards. His works were just recently displaced at the Whitechapel Gallery in London. 

"Taking classic movie stills, vintage postcards and book illustrations, Stezaker makes collages to give old images a new meaning. By adjusting, inverting and slicing separate pictures together to create unique new works of art, Stezaker explores the subversive force of found images. Stezaker’s famous Mask series fuses the profiles of glamorous sitters with caves, hamlets, or waterfalls, making for images of eerie beauty."

Art historian Julian Stallabrass said, "The contrast at the heart of these works [by Stezaker] is not between represented and real, but between the unknowing primitives of popular culture, and the conscious, ironic artist and viewer of post-modern images."

I quite like the turnout.  Let me know your thoughts!

DIY Table Vase

So if you have a thin wood table that you don't mind drilling holes in, I thought this DIY table vase was rather unique and interesting!

I personally think that 3 down the table would be cooler than just the one, but that's personal preference. You could also do this with a side table or coffee table.

Film Friday

So here's an interesting one for you.  
This particular film, Between Bears by Eran Hilleli, was the winner of Best Animation Award at the First Vimeo Film Festival.  

Between Bears from Eran Hilleli on Vimeo.

I'm not exactly sure what to gather from this.  I was a little thrown off in the beginning when the bear shaves himself and his hair turns into butterflies... but that may just be me. haha  Although, I do think the animation is so very unique and interesting to watch.  


The director says this about the story line of this video... "It is a debt to my childhood and other lives I hope I lived. Inspired by words of songs that I admire."


Anyone have any thoughts they would like to share on this?

Parallel World Collection

This extraordinary Parallel World Collection 

by Samal Design Paris 

contains philosophical meaning, as it reminds us about the possibility of another parallel world existing.  

The presented pieces are partially hid in nowhere, 

or...

"held by another world"

Installation How-To: 

This collection consists of 8 elements, 2 library, 4 shelves and two lamps. Storing system realized in MDF, lamps in semi-transparent plastic with anchors wall attaching system.


I really enjoy this collection because it blurs the line between our reality world and our dream world.  It's though provoking, but also functional at the same time.  What do you think?

What would you use this type of font for?
I think it would be great for an advertising campaign. Maybe even for The Modern Life! :)

Modern Dwelling in Barcelona

FAMILY DWELLING IN CABRERA DE MAR: BARCELONA
 
Formal and conceptual simplicity, two prisms placed one above the other, with a slightly displaced movement of the top prism, creating an immense overhang and an interior fissure. 

 Floating stairwell in the middle of room adds a unique touch.  I also like the wall of glass separating the kitchen from the living room.  

 The wall color looks great alongside the stainless steel kitchen. 

What did you like about this house??

I could definitely see myself living in a place like this! :)

Curved Wall Tiles

For a unique touch to your home, these curved and etched wall tiles will do just the trick!  


Made by Italian design company, Lithos Design, these designs are definitely an unconventional and unexpected way to finish a room.  

Featured above is the new Favo Curve design.  Not your typical tile, both in terms of material and aesthetic. The modern 3D design of smaller concaved hexagons combined creates a trendy honeycomb effect. These large-scale, touchable tiles come in flat and curved models.  These tiles can accommodate integrated wall lighting and are available in three natural stone finishes.


Below are some other wall designs by Lithos. 

(This one above is my favorite! I would put it in the bathroom!)

These futuristic tiles bring a modern yet earthy aesthetic to any wall.

Do you think these wall patterns would add a unique look to a home?  

If so, where would you put them in your home?
