The Fall

The Fall 2006

Morphine for the eyes. An unjustly underrated and unregarded piece. The world re-constituting itself. Constantly shifting. And merging its narrative levels. It's like a Jean-Paul Gaultier collection replayed as a movie.

Mermen & Mermaids

Top Neo Rauch, Das Gut, 2008
Bottom Unknown

When thinking of mermaids, movies like The Little Mermaid or Mermaids instantly come to one's mind. But suddenly I realized one true classic is missing: Splash with beautiful Daryl Hannah. Thanks to Neo Rauch for reminding me.

Ghetto Kitten

Astrid Andersen Graduate Collection

Rude boys in leopard print. Baseball jackets and animal print cycling shorts. As her name implies, Astrid Andersen continues the legacy of two literates: Astrid Lindgren and Hans Christian Andersen. Telling a wonderful fairytale.

Parallel Reality

Klara Sjons Nilsson Graduate collection

Intepretations of a three- and two-dimensional world. A reality that is built upon principles that are chosen by its creator. Defining how the world is seen and reflected. An investigation of perception that reveals and succeeds.

Alienesque II

Photos Dazed & Confused, Unknown

Blue-haired and green-skinned. As human beauty allown does not fulfill our contemporary needs, the foreign and artificial conquers our heart. The fake and surreal is what we are longing for. A fantasy of self-deception.

Alienesque

John Galliano Spring/Summer 2003

Porcelain dolls in exuberant colours. Wrapped in tunics, veils, dresses and scarfs. Too much of everything. Too much of romanticism. Too much of orientalism. Overdosage of such a degree only a John Galliano is allowed to.
