I went to see a Cindy Sherman exhibition in Copenhagen. She fascinates me and i find her really useful to lean towards. She has an amazing power in the way she works with her surroundings. I keeps popping up in my brain, especially when i dressed up as Frida Carlo.
This is a poster for a art project, a floating city in Copenhagen. I think that Hannah Hock have a strong visual language that i fund very useful. I have cut out hair from a magazine and used it to create abstract shapes, working more on a surreal level.
Something i just discovered, so grand and dramatic.
Twilight I fall in the Harbor Twilight I fall in the hills But here in the city That never sleeps I can fall Through one's fingers
When the swan Flies to heaven Soaring through The utmost fear There's a feeling That lingers in the afterwards Will you ever return Will you ever return Will you ever return
Twilight Twilight Twilight
Twilight I sit at all tables With my candles And angels besides And I shall wait forever As the day turns to night Swallowed in the shadows that glow Swallowed in the shadows that glow Swallowed in the shadows that glow
When I sought out a light And I knew darkness swallowed I beseech, come to me All alone, come to me
I absolutly love her stuff. i talks to me and when i close my eye i can see some of her sculptures. I have been very inspired by her work, and that is visible in many of my drawings.
Oh yes! I love this particularly because it is so badly made. To me it looks like they just set everything up and then just shot it all in one go. I especially like when hey are moving the piled up bread form the one to the other. I looks to me as they are improvising all the way through the video. Another element in the video is the blond girl the i somehow found it easy to identify myself with. Because i could imagin it could be me acting out the little silly role.
This woman, Brenda Dikson is a character from a soap opera from the 80´s. After stopping being a soap opera star she made videos about how to keep in shape , how to look good. she is giving away all her beauty tricks. Somebody has made a parody of her beauty video. It makes me laugh over and over again. Why? The way the parody make fun of her self obsession and her enormous ego. i have posted one original and one parody. see if you can guess what´s what! height
I my land of dreams I live like a queen, eating colours and breathing in marmelade.
Every day brings new dangers and fresh coffie.
All year round i wear my heart on my sleeve, and i fall deep into the mist of the brewing day.
