Maxim Zhestkov: Architectural video worlds

Posted on by

Maxim Zhestkov, a motion-, graphics designer and video artist, is inspired by many different fields like for example: science, fashion, architecture and/or space. He creates architectural worlds where sounds blend with space and shape.

Zhestkov: “I have tried to reflect the concept of the universe between the infinite and border as a pulsating place of energy and magnetism.”

Zhestkov: “Any composition needs to begin with one or two main elements. The smaller the elements, the greater number of them there should be. You need to start with one or two main ideas and gradually build up the smaller elements until the space becomes rich with life.”

Don’t watch this film

Posted on by

The centre figure of Lopez Carlos productions is filmmaker and animator Eugenio Lopez Carlos. His work ranges from film making, animations to VJ-shows and to 3d modelling and texture design. Aside of his commissioned work he also creates autonomous work like his interactive docudrama about conspiracies called: Don’t watch this film. In this film Lopez Carlos blurs the boundaries of fiction and reality. The viewer gets into a roller coaster ride where fact and fiction and urban legends get mixed into a new reality, this reality is often throughout the movie combined with a good dose of humour. What is the truth and what is pure nonsense? what is reality and what is fiction?

 The above video features the none interactive version and has a run time of 32:27 minutes. Visit the Lopez Carlos productions website for more information. The first version of this film was interactive you can find more about the interactive film on the Don’t watch this film website.

Ten Commandments for Gilbert and George

Posted on by

The below video shows The Ten Commandments for Gilbert & George and is a conceptual performance piece created by Gilbert and George in 1995. Although this avantgarde piece is already an older work from the oeuvre of Gilbert & George, the statement  is still very powerfull nowadays and has not lost any of its universal content and values. 

In this performance the duo artists  have written the Ten Commandments for themselves and although commandments are rigid rules in nature, these ones command the follower to be free minded, to be expressive, and to be spontaneous.

Thou shalt fight conformism
Thou shalt be the messenger of freedoms
Thou shalt make use of sex
Thou shalt reinvent life
Thou shalt create artificial art
Thou shalt have a sense of purpose
Thou shalt not know exactly what thou dost, but thou shalt do it
Thou shalt give thy love
Thou shalt grab the soul
Thou shalt give something back

The exhibition is divided into various segments called: process, performance, participation and fashion film. It opens the process of image-making up to the public – by putting a live, working photographic studio within the exhibition space, to be used by top photographers including Nick Knight of Showstudio himself. Knight will also shoot 100 portraits of London’s ‘beau monde’; models, actors, musicians and artists – and will show a programme of new Fashion Films, specially commissioned by Showstudio for Fashion Revolution.

The exhibition will run untill the 20th of December 2009
