Tokyo of Liam Wong

April 25, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Instagram, Japan, Photography, Portfolios, 2016

"The hustle and bustle of the city somehow seems to become more beautiful when the sun goes down.Photographer Liam Wong experienced this firsthand and decided to capture the night time in Tokyo with the power of his lens. The just rained-on streets reflect the bright lights leaving a surreal quality to his work. Using a green or pink tone, the lights appear to be completely ingrained in the city’s atmosphere. Each photo offers a different perspective on the city, whether it be a detail shot of the city’s people or a bird’s eye view of the streets."

SSENSE Issey Miyake by Thomas Traum

April 23, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Fashion, Motioncollector, 2016

SSENSE commissioned Thomas Traum studio to create a short CGI film to reveal the technological splendor of the Homme Plissé Issey Miyake Spring 2016 Collection. We reimagined the clothing focusing on the line’s innovation on textiles and cut.

"Our idea was inspired by the simplicity of Issey Miyake’s clothes, expressed in particular through the images created by Irving Penn for Miyake’s collections in the ‘80s. In our film, we wanted to create a modern high-tech take of their approach, but keeping the spirit of these images created decades earlier. We wanted to strip the film back to the core essence: Clothes as a container and amplifier of the human body in movement."

Misplaced by Anton Repponen

April 21, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Architecture, Digital Art, Photography, Portfolios, USA, 2016

"Misplaced Series is a project that takes notable New York buildings from their existing surrounding environments and inserts them into desolate locations out of context. By sequestering these structures from the hustle that usually swallows them, their architectural form becomes more defined and easily understood. The juxtaposition of these concrete volumes and glossy glass windows against sand dunes and rocky cliffs forms a new way of perceiving and appreciating these otherwise familiar architectural landmarks.Short fictional stories accompanying each building are written to help readers experience the ambiguity and absurdness of each scene. Architects are confused with the irrational task of designing something in the desert, self-expanding constructions that seek for new places to exist, unsold tickets to museums that are nowhere to be found and luxury hotels with no guests. Each story might have been a short scene from the movie that is never going to be watched, same way as those building are never going to be somewhere else." text by Jon Earle for Anton Repponen.

Flocks Nir Arieli

April 20, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Israel, Photography, Portfolios, 2016

Photographer Nir Arieli captures what happens dancers let go of the precision, the control, the stamina — and simply be. The series is titled “Flocks,” which, in the artist’s native language of Hebrew, means both “company,” as in dance company, and “flock,” as in a flock of animals. In the images, Arieli explores the relationship between a team of similarly passionate and talented individuals and a herd designated by nature and circumstance.

Velocipedia by Gianluca Gimini

April 19, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, Digital Art, Italy, 2016

"Back in 2009, Gianluca Gimini picked up an unusual hobby. The Bologna-based Italian-American designer started approaching his friends — and complete strangers — and asking them to draw a bicycle from memory...By 2016, the pile had grown to 376 drawings from a broad array of participants from seven different countries, males and females as young as 3 years and as old as 88. He decided to begin creating highly polished renderings of these sketches, and the results — which you can see on Behance — are equal parts brilliant, hilarious and frightening."

Laurent Kronental Photography "Souvenir d'un Futur"

April 18, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in France, Photography, Portfolios, 2016

"First I wanted to document the people who live there, but when I began to photograph their daily lives I started to focus more and more on the buildings. The idea was to explore the past of the place, its future and present. I wanted to highlight the generation of elderly people who started living in those buildings when they were made and to draw a parallel between the aging of architecture and that of the human beings housed within. These neighbourhoods are often marginalised, their inhabitants side-lined. However, these buildings are more futuristic than ever—more than La Défense, the modern financial district of Paris. You could never say what era these buildings belong to." says Laurent Kronental about his series "Souvenir d'un Futur" in i-D Magazine interview

Dancing Plague

April 14, 2016 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Motioncollector, Spain, 2016

The short film Dancing Plague is the new work of a long collaboration of more than thirteen years between Diego Agulló and Jorge Ruiz Abánades . Based on three images of Peter Brueghel the Elder, and taking as a handwritten texts that recount the phenomenon of multitudes known as ” dancing mania ” or “Dance of San Vito ” , this film delves into the theme of the dance and its close affinity with the uncontrollable forces of chaos : immediate ability to interrupt work time , enabling another exceptional time of the bizarre, the jovial and festive but also of social disorder and catastrophe

BASED on Pieter Bruegel the Elder´s paintings:

The Tower of Babel (c. 1563)

The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (c. 1559)

The Triumph of Death (c. 1562)
