We love the creations of artist Nancy Fouts who enjoys hijacking everyday objects in an offbeat manner, yet always with a very subversive message that is provocative, playful, and witty. Gold! 🙂
A very moving yet fascinating and powerful video that takes us into the nuclear exclusion zone of abandoned Fukushima, we love the work of designer Chris Lavelle who has given movement and depth to the stunning photographs of Rebecca Lilith Bathory. Check it out, awesome stuff 🙂
With his new series of mashups Trump x Magritte, Brazilian artist and illustrator Butcher Billy imagines an improbable encounter between painter René Magritte, the master of Surrealism, and American politician, wanna-be president, and billionaire Donald Trump. Love it! 🙂
In advance of their new line for 2017, IKEA are set to release teasers announcing their new collaborative ‘YPPERLIG’ collection with Danish furniture company HAY. This first video is as cleverly cryptic as it is surreal and follows the path of a glass ball through an empty apartment – a great way of staying creative without showing any of the new products. The video itself was a collaboration between three different agencies, Kühl & Solvstrom, Nikextension, and Barkas. Can’t wait to see what they come out with next – watch this space 🙂
Filmed on a GoPro over three years by the musical group People The Kangaroo for their single ‘You Would Not Believe Me’, a globe-trotting hand explores oceans, forests, deserts, and unsuspecting tourists’ faces in Times Square. Love it – very clever idea 🙂
We love Russian designer Rus Khasanov‘s latest project ‘Sweet Dreams’ which is footage of a slow moving combination of ink, glitter, oil, and soap creating dreamlike patterns of brilliant colour. This Monday mood is further enhanced by the addition of a soothing track by Dmitry Evgrafov – perfect thing to kick off the week, enjoy! 🙂
Directed by Félicien Colmet-Daâge and Ludovic Versace, ‘Staring at the Lines’, the latest music video from Buvette, is a little visual gem leading us into a surreal and mesmerising world, a futuristic dystopia populated with clones. With its colourful compositions and particular aesthetic, this animated vid has some nice references to the famous manga ‘Akira‘. Love it! 🙂
We love the creations of Austrian artist Alice Wellinger whose soft and poetic visual universe illustrates some very serious and difficult subjects such as youth suicide, alcoholism, and depression. Sensational work 🙂
We love this new surreal animated short ‘7 Billion’ by artist Cyriak Harris where rabbits infinitely multiply. Original and very cool 🙂
With his Flesh Love Returns and Zatsuran series, artist Haruhiko Kawaguchi, aka Photographer Hal, continues to pack couples in vacuum sealed bags, transforming them into pre-packaged, manufactured products, questioning the place and the existence of true love in our society. Slightly WTF but very original creations 🙂
