Plain Sight
Hiding in plain sight, the photograph skims across the skin of reality. Something I can watch over and over again.

FOUNDation Projects
Rikkert Paauw, Jet van Zwieten and Hein Lagerweij of FOUNDation Projects transform for some time now ordinary dumpsters into a unique space – with items they recover from dumpsters. In their hometown Utrecht a fantastic series of dumpsterhouses were constructed last year. The results were set up in the city centre, where they became a kind of small village. On the inside and outside of the buildings video footage of the construction process was being projected accompanied by music and soundscapes produced with field recordings. Foundation, a concept by Rikkert Paauw and Jet van Zwieten is about collecting waste material and old furniture from the neighborhood, moving it to a waste container, reusing it to turn it into a small house (with the container as the foundation), to become a temporary meeting place for neighbours and passers-by. Also visit their picture gallery on flickr and their vimeo channel.

Tinshed
How one can make a great architecture out of corrugated metal. The project of Australian architect Raffaello Rosselli was to re-purpose an existing tin shed at the rear of a residential lot, in the inner-city suburb of Redfern, Sydney. As the only remaining shed in the area it is a unique reminder of the suburb’s industrial past. Find out more about Tinshed on Rosselli’s homepage.

Fuck Buttons – Slow Focus
Sagen wir, auf einem fernen Planeten, dort in einer Bar unter Tage, sitzt ein Bolianer und trinkt Schneckensaft. Auf der Bühne: die Fuck Buttons.
New Summer
Hungry for televised violence and a spectacular doomsday scenario? In the case of Young Galaxy’s »New Summer« by director Ivan Grbovic, the disaster finds its way on your screen in a spectacular way. The end of the world never sounded so relaxed.
r1
Johannesburg based artist r1 reduces his work to the most simple material transforming them and placing them back where they came from, to become a part of the city’s journey. His »short-time-based installations« likely cause confusion among viewers. »Like the street, the work finds its meaning once an interaction with the passer-by takes place«, he says on his homepage.
