The Belgian artist-photographer Filip Dujardin recovers the art of collage between reality and fiction, to create a new language based on the modernist architectural tradition.

People often expect Dujardin’s “buildings” to be undiscovered pieces of Eastern European or Russian constructivism – while in fact, they only exist in Dujardin’s prints. They are the result of his scouting trips around Belgium, where he collects the occasional moment of often fairly conventional 20th-century structures, and then uses them as digital matter from which to collage his buildings.

The spanish photographer Victor Enrich manipulates his own photographies to create impossible and rather fantastical structures – like a tower that has been unzipped or a house turned upside down. Enjoy the sometimes surreal new designs….

“He is now regarded as the epitome of American pop art and dominates the global art market like no other. With the founding of the Interview Magazine in 1969, Warhol brought the conversation to the media art form.”

Gundula Schulze Eldowy – “Berlin hat mich zur Fotografin gemacht.” – A collection of Schulze Eldowy´s early works (1977 to 1990). A glimpse into the life of this time in East Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden. Socially critical, honest, hopeful and hard at the same time. Currently in the “c | o berlin”. Highly Recommended.

Also worth seeing in the same location: “Ron Galella. Paparazzo Extraordinaire.”

“Light & Jelly” is series of lamps cast in jelly by Le Creative Sweatshop and then photographed by Fabrice Fouillet. The results are very colorful and look stunning.

In cooperation with the illustrator Harry Slaghekke the MASH Brand Agency designed the new pinot (noir & grigio) packaging for Marauding Vintners. An interesting mafia style way to make wine become personalities.

Japanese artist Takanori Aiba explains his works:

My source of creations are my early experience of bonsai making and maze illustration. These works make use of an aerial perspective, which like the diagram for a maze shows the whole from above (the macro view) while including minute details (the micro view). If you explore any small part of my works, you find amazing stories and some unique characters.
