Best Before End by Stephen Gill 最值得玩味的是,Stephen Gill的作品竟然充滿了挑逗的色彩,並且帶著一股讓人意欲探索接近的迷人氛圍,好像他所建構的影像世界就環繞在我們身邊,是一處可能到達得了的鏡花緣。

Finding Simplicity: Thisispaper Shop Launch It started in late 2012. First, a vague idea, then it began to crystalize, and by the time winter returned they seriously got down to work. They launched Thisispaper Shop to make a statement. We disagree with mass production and consumptionism, with the relentless quest for new products that satisfy artificially created needs.

Relationships by Bezel Wang "I'm trying to protrait the hands, as the subject in my practice, to express how I feel or to interpret the possible situations in the relationships between people." 「我試圖以手作為拍攝的主體,來表達我內心的情感,或是用來詮釋人與人之間關係中可能產生的互動。」
From the Earth by Maggie Harrsen A selction of works from two series "Solidago" and "Kanoa" by New York based photographer Maggie Harrsen. She takes her practices in the connection with nature life and all living creatures. "As all living beings carry an individual etheric vibration, these works aim to study this single yellow flower, its essence and healing capacity." - Maggie Harrsen on Solidago
Xue Picks: Aleksandra Waliszewska 來自波蘭華沙的女藝術家Aleksandra Waliszewska,乍看充滿可怖、獵奇、邪教氣氛的畫作,裡面卻像是自成一個重新規範起來的世界。我們過去平凡印象裡認定的壞,重新敲碎成為一個異世界基底的材料,在此重新翻譯這些見到的畫面,好比是群獸的狂歡、喪屍的舞蹈。所有暴力都變成一種正常溝通的語言。
Luminant Screen Shapings by Stephan Tillmans It's a photographic series of old tube televisions taken at the very moment they are switched off. The TV picture breaks down and is abstracted to its essential element: light. Each of these photographs is from a different TV, but it's also the length of exposure, timing, and time the TV has been running before the photo is taken that affects the results.
Parkett magazine: A small museum and a large library 擁有25年歷史的英德雙語雜誌Parkett(帕克特雜誌)以其獨到的編輯策略和編排手法蜚聲國際,以每期一萬本的發行量橫跨世界各地,最大的特色在於這本雜誌從來不隨著藝術界的潮流或議題起舞,他們從不報藝術新聞,也不做展覽評論,更沒有固定的專欄寫手,每期挑選四位藝術家,針對他們的創作分別提供三到四篇角度不同的評析、討論。藝術家甚至受邀參與編輯企畫,並為當期雜誌特別創作限量作品......
Candidates by Pascal Fellonneau From March to June 2012, Pascal Fellonneau has been regularly wandering the streets of Paris searching for electoral posters of French presidential election 2012. The series Candidates is the result of this work and the exhibition CAMPAGNE shows a selection of it.
Sistema di riferimento monodimensionale by Lamberto Teotino Teotino說到:「這消失的某一段,對於慣於以立體(3D)的空間視角來思考的觀者來說,仿佛就像消失的百慕達三角洲一樣。」黑白老照片本身影射著某一個凍結的當下時刻,卻因為藝術家的操作手法,似乎突然多出了一份浮出於現實和紙上的黑洞象限,更加顯得意味深長而深富哲學性了。
Toilet Paper x Seletti Right from the start we liked the idea that Toiletpaper was a label that could be applied to a broad series of objects: magazines, books, plates, mugs and tablecloths. Pierpaolo and I are like sadistic scientists: everything that’s around us can be infected by the TP virus, we continually test different samples and we analyze the results, so that Toiletpaper can become a style, and not just a photographic one
The Silence of Dogs in Cars by Martin Usborne 人與狗之間有著親暱且複雜的關係,它們似乎有辦法引起人們各式各樣的情緒反應,這一系列「被關在車裡的狗」是英國攝影師Martin Usborne的影像擺拍創作,提名為The Silence of Dogs in Cars,他透過刻意的雨夜場景設定與燈光調度,成功地建立起了一份劇場式的影像氛圍。
Viviane Sassen: In and Out of Fashion Viviane Sassen,生於阿姆斯特丹、於阿姆斯特丹工作與生活,也常為了展覽與工作四處奔波。她是近年來備受矚目的新銳攝影師,曾是2011年紐約MOMA美術館攝影新秀展六人中的其中一位。當初念大學時學的原本是時尚,曾在Viktor & Rolf工作,還當過他們的走台模特兒。自2001年起,她首次為Miu Miu拍攝形象廣告後,開啓了她的時尚攝影生涯.....
Xue Picks: Lena Amuat & Zoë Meyer 這些作品來自於Lena Amuat & Zoë Meyer兩個藝術家的合作,他們分別居住在柏林和蘇黎世。經由某個網站上的圖片來源找了回去,仍然沒有得到太多的訊息,只知道它們叫做Flügel,德文的翅膀。接著就想到前一陣子發現藏在神秘之處的某張紙條上的句子,「基於模糊的動機,所凝聚成的現象」這句話抄寫在跟這些翅膀狀態很相似的紙張上面。斷掉的、散落的、遺失主體。
James Blake - Overgrown This new music video is directed by Nabil Elderkin, who's previously worked with Kayne West and Bon Iver. As it's his first time working with James Blake, he's done a great job with poetic scenes for Blake's music. Though it seems the video also featured the character from Harry Potter.......

The families of flowering plants Descriptions, Illustrations, Identification, and Information Retrieval by L. Watson and M. J. Dallwitz(1992 onwards). Always fond of the texture of these botanical hand drawings, it's more like art than science when they've been recorded in this way.
