Wanderlust-the making of wanderlust

내 눈을 동그랗게 만든 엘레나 블로그에서 본 비요크의 새 뮤직비디오.
마치 비디오아트를 보는듯 설치미술을 보는듯 역시 비요크답다.
여기 만들기 과정을 보면 눈이 더욱 크게 떠진다.
Wanderlust - the making of wanderlust

This is awesome. It makes my eyes big.

She wrote the lyrics also.

Fantastic Planet

스토리보다 재미있는 기이한 형태의 식물들과 거대한 파란 생물체의 행동 엿보기.
그림과 음악이 이처럼 하나되긴 힘들듯.
브라운톤의 배경과 거대 생물체의 파란색감이 회화적으로도 돋보이게 한다.

Peep at the mysterious plants and the behaviour of the giant blue creature.

Pompoko

Beside the message about the environment, I love this movie that racoons have magical powers to transform into human and the lyrics are powerful.

Is Painting Small the Next Big Thing? --The New York Times

This article published April 19, 2008.

"But what is marginalized can also become a form of dissent, a way to counter the prevailing arguments and sidestep their pitfalls. It is hard, for example, to work small and indulge in the mind-boggling degree of spectacle that afflicts so much art today. In a time of glut and waste on every front, compression and economy have undeniable appeal. And if a great work of art is one that is essential in all its parts, that has nothing superfluous or that can be subtracted, working small may improve the odds."

After Jackson Pollock, big size painting was fashion among painters. As an indigent young artist, this article gives me a smile.

Jacques Henri Lartigue

Jacques Henri Lartigue (1894-1986)
French photographer and painter.
He is obsessive with cathing time as it pass.
His photographs were seen in 1962 by John Szarkowski, directer of Museum of Modern Art in New York when Lartigue was in his seventies.
Such subjects as automobile races, fashionable ladies at the seashore and the park, and kite flying, these photographs with every day subjects reveal his free spirit and love of life. Specially, those photographs capturing a sense of movement made me feel a sense of humor.

White Angel Breadline

Dorothea Lange's "White Angel Breadline" showed the desperate conditions of jobless men during the Great Depression.

Near Lange’s studio a rich woman who was called the White Angel had set up a breadline for the hungry. A man in worn out clothes and hat was leaning against a wooden barrier and looking down. His hands were folded on top of a fence and there was a tin cup between his arms.

When she took the photograph, she had no idea what to do with it. Then more and more she gave herself to do this documentary. It turned out to be the beginning of a new phase in her career. From a protrait photorapher for rich people to a documantary photographer.
