Alive

I've seen these revealing and amazingly beautiful images from Annemarieke van Drimmelen, on Nowness.


They are so powerful and beautiful crafted images which Van Drimmelen describe as alive images.
“I try and let go of any idea I have of how the moment should look like when I'm shooting,” she says. “That's when the picture seems to come alive.” Between Us.

Photographer Annemarieke van Drimmelen’s portraits documenting the downtime of fashion’s top faces. Exploring the dichotomy between artifice and authenticity, Van Drimmelen captured off-duty models such as Sara Blomqvist and Herieth Paul in their own environments, stripped of the paraphernalia of high-gloss fashion shoots and catwalk shows. 

It's life, at the new beginning

Mirage of The Self evolved through time, from my MA degree project to reality.
You, me will face the fact from now on.

I keep it all to myself. Mirage of the self never get so real.

Reveal Politic of Self Awareness

Been almost a year, things changed, we learned then we experience changes slowly.
Location effect emotion and the way we look at ourselves.

By far, I mean, I changed so much I could not recall what has been done with life.
I now just want to share will you a cinematic experience involved my nationality which so difficult to find change. There always mean Politic. At the end, we all need to see ourselves in the mirror.

COLUMBINE GOLDSMITH'S L'ILE FILM

Don't worry about getting older...

Advanced Style: Age and Beauty on Nowness.com.

Darling, listen to your mother and learn to live in revolution time.
Not just war or bombs it is all nature, of living in the moment.

Being in the time that everything is changing, the last thing you want to be upset is to feel old.
Celebrate the way life treated you. Ease a little and have a bit of fun. Dressing is an exercise class.

Advance Style always been a place for my inspirations, this is the latest short film from Nowness.
No need to say more...

Bill Cunningham New York

Wearing an identity.

A cinematographic diary by Wim Wenders, 1989. 
This film made from day to day, carried along by nothing other than its curiosity -- a notebook on cities and clothes. Featured Fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and his creations.

Keep your eyes open.

I like the fact that he kept his eyes open and watch people present themselves in life of the now.
I like the way his photographs is simple and elegant. It is simple when your subject is already styled, you have to pick it up.

I will keep my eyes open for long, let myself fall in love.
React to what you see, it's important enough to keep on doing it.

I love his blog.

Story continues - with NOWNESS

NOWNESS is one of my favorite love & don't love daily feeds.
This film combined best of 2010 from Nowness, showing the emerging popular genre - Fashion Film.
As they say and I believe story will continue through out 2011. Much more exciting talented directors to watch, ideas to be surprise and things...beautiful things will happen.

New Year Resolution

Making Sense of the 'STUFF' is my 2011 resolution
It is about mapping out trends from today's activities,places,people,senses,stuffs...
investigate our culture and make sense of things we live in, that may lead to new understanding of our future.

After my Shades and Shadows (MA project) all came together last month.

I took a long holiday to myself, rest, shopping and clear my desk.

I'll post up memory photos from that moment in my next post.

Happy New Year

Keep your eyes wild shut.

Shades & Shadows MADS degree show

"I usually buy clothes by a first impression. 

When I am wearing them for the first two or three times, 

I am feeling confident. But after that, I feel anxious 

because of the gaze of the other, and social expectations. 

My research aims to tackle with this kind of anxiety: an anxiety 

that would arise when I am alienated from my clothes. 

During my journey, I have found the way to reconcile myself 

with my fashion choices. By having a dialogue with myself 

through fashion, I have found that my body is double clothed: 

both by outfits and narratives."

Degree Show: Sneak Peak! 63 Degrees – An Angle on Chaos

I've been working on my project for degree show next week.... It was our last month period so 'Chaotic' period of time. I want to share some of photographs I took in relation to my exhibition idea.

One more week to hold on to, wish me luck!

If you are reading this, please come to my exhibition 63 Degrees – An Angle on Chaos

check more info here.

63Degrees An Angle on Chaos

Winter is here, I am very happy to introduce you to our amazing coming up degree show.

MA Design Studies Graduate Exhibition: 

63 Degrees – An Angle on Chaos

63 degrees is a collection of 63 intriguing questions that show that the future is ready to be designed.  This is not design as you know it, rather than relying on style as content this show reveals a process that begins with a ‘what if?” resistance to conventional wisdom and concludes with a flight of the imagination that gives dimension to ‘it could be!’ revelations.

Individually and collectively these 63 creative research projects reveal what can happen when a multicultural group, from a wide range of professional backgrounds unites in a common ambition: they confirm that globalization does have an upside, design can be the solution rather than part of the problem.

Among the 63 issues that are investigated you will find an extraordinary range of provocative proposals. Diverse in scale, form and function these projects expose how these chaotic times are exploding with opportunities. Where else would you find a show that combines ways to optimize flat organizational structures with a proposal for healthy lifestyle changes and an exploration of storytelling as a reflection of group identity.

This is design as you do not know it.

The degree show will be held from Tuesday 7th – Friday 10th December at the Rochelle School, Arnold Circus, London E27ES.

Ways of Seeing

Drawing on the significance of being looked at and the way of understand how women care so much about how they look. John Berger had put it all together so well. 

We only know about ourselves when we began to realised from the visibility exterior of self.

Mirage of The Self will continue to offer ways to see yourself and understand the value of being oneself.

Stay tune in front of the mirror for next chapter!

INFLUENCERS

INFLUENCERS FULL VERSION from R+I creative on Vimeo.

To become one of the influencer, there is no rule and recipe. It have to come from inside, the passion of doing and being who you are. What is feel right for you. The real coolness is when nobody looking at you, you're all by yourself. It's a natural process but you have to reach for it.

INFLUENCERS is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment.

The film attempts to understand the essence of influence, what makes a person influential without taking a statistical or metric approach.

The film is a Polaroid snapshot of New York influential creatives (advertising, design, fashion and entertainment) who are shaping today's pop culture.
"Influencers" belongs to the new generation of short films, webdocs, which combine the documentary style and the online experience.

Shoes Face

Never come close to see what your shoes face might be.

Never know who actually put on that shoes, never meet your

 true reflection.

There might be a solution...

Whose shadow

Your face in your shoes.

Recognition of one shadow may lead to constructive dimension of self.
