Abandoned buildings, private apartments and junk rooms – Each setting photographer Faisal Al Fouzan from Kuwait has photographed was found like you can see below and left untouched, preserving the authenticity of the chaotic ensemble. »The Empty Chairs project aims to capture the different scenery in which empty chairs are discovered in visually surreal or out of the ordinary environments. Through these images I examine the relationship between the empty chair and it’s surrounding. Each image tells a story, where the chair is the narrator and protagonist, speaking of its past inhabitant and its context.«
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.
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.
