Wilder Mann

They become bears, stags, and devils. They evoke death but bestow fertile life. They live in the modern era, but they summon old traditions – people all over Europe like to dress up. French photographer Charles Fréger has sought out the best of the best and published a book about almost forgotten rituals. Collected over two winters of travel through 19 countries. Take a visual tour of Europe’s wild man traditions.

A sweet episode I think. You could take some songs and for a concept album „memorys of a young boys live“ or so. Jazzy tunes. Dance tunes. Lot of guitars, even guitar solos. Dubstep. Things like that.

Love = Love

More than the sum of its parts: Kent Rogowski assembles fantastic puzzles with very surprisingly parts. It was indeed not easy to mix and match all available puzzle pieces to create these wacky variations. »At one point there was around 20,000 puzzle pieces floating around my studio«, Rogowski keeps telling people.

Private Moon

What is fantastic about the moon is that it always gets around a lot. His personal travelling companion Leonid Tishkov is probably the perfect travel mate, as you can see. »Private Moon« is a series of stylized and sentimental photographs of both with a large illuminated crescent moon taken at various locations around the world. Fitting to this setting: J’ai demandé à la lune by Indochine.
