Nudist Camp III

1. Norbert Bisky
2. Winston Chmielinski
3. Hervé Caillon

Today, I am doing what humankind has done for decades and centuries. Naturalism, nudism, exhibitionism. In contrary to the works shown above, my own examination of the subject is of narcissistic nature only.

Monolythic I

1. John Chamberlain Trumpery Praxis, 1984
2. Helmut Lang Spring/Summer 2004 campaign

The result of a multiple hours image research. Loosing the source. Investing even more time. Retriving the origin, its name, its year. And recalling even more aesthetic material.

Citrus Sinensis II

1. Orangina posters by Bernard Villemot, 1972-1986
2. Prada Spring/Summer 2011 campaign

Last night's orange-themed research delivered a striking visual resemblance of Tropician heat. Or shall I say: a blood orange relationship. And blood orange juice is thicker than water. As is commonly known.

Bodies Of Decadence

1. Tony Ward by James Armstrong, 1982
2. Mary Katrantzou Spring/Summer 2011

A young Tony Ward's well-defined exterior. And a young Mary Katrantzou's trompe l'œil interior dresses. Pretty surfaces that offer intricate yet delicate insights. Come in and find out.

Non-Sterile

Artworks Keith Sonnier

The smell of medical latex gloves. Manipulated cloth and paper pieces. Dyed, dipped, painted fabrics. Neglectfully mounted onto walls. Evoking the sensuality and poetry of fortuitousness.

Syncrisis

Prince of Persia 1989 & 2010

Please excuse my latest 80s-boy-loves-adventure-fairytale-computer-game-movie-adaption tendendies. But did I already share my childhood addiction of playing Prince of Persia on my 486 PC? Now you know.

Yesterday & Tomorrow

Top Nike campaign, Fall/Winter 1988
Bottom Attitude Magazine, September 2010

My obsession for sportswear continues, or let's rather say cyclingwear. Streamline, skintight, high-tech cuts and materials. Courier-themed sexiness. And please have a look at the claim.

Consumer Survey

Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 1988

Seriously, how can someone not love Armani advertisments. And men in bodysuits.

Dune

Dune 1984

This movie is incredible. Partly disgusting and scary when confronted with evil Harkonnen's human experiments, but mostly stunning due to the monumental setting and imagery. I am also impressed by Kyle MacLachlan's perfect quiff.

P.S.: And how I loved the computer game. I wish my 386 PC back.

Another Variation

Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2011

Colour. And flowers. I agree it is a reference to the minimalist core of an early Jil Sander. Accordingly pure is the self-repetition of Raf Simons and his encounter with waist-conscious tailoring and a short shorts spirited mind.
