Zec Safet - fascination of the dust

Zec Safet draws his drawings as fractals of doodles. Everything repeating itself as you zoom in, and always becoming smaller and smaller in the repetition. He expresses the trees in this dusty way, almost as smoke from a fire, or as a gray explosion of blossom.
His drawings is both sad and lively at the same time. An intriguing dilemma embedded in the piece. His paintings reminds me of my own fascination of dust, its rhizome nature and open ended becoming. Go see him if you get the chance.

Mysterious dust miracles

Here he is; Sai Baba curing the illness in life with mysterious dust. You might recognize the sleeve.





Thorvaldsens Efterklang

foto: Brian Buchard

The album cover for the new Efterklang Album, Magic Chairs, is a poetic music shot and brilliant architecture photo at the same time. The way it uses M. G. B. Bindesbølls Thorvaldsens Museum as the settings for a "ephemeral fairytale" happening on a rainy Copenhagen day is completely in the SPS spirit.
Buchards photo adds a new layer to the museum that is worth as much as any installation - a story you'll have in mind every time you visit the museum and look into the empty atrium.
On the back of the cover you will see all the multicolored pennants lying on the ground as a result of this sudden phenomena. In case you don't flip the LP you might believe that these light weight patterns will gone in a few seconds leaving no traces at all, but imprints the trajectories in your memory. What are the chances to ever experience this? Small i suppose, but as you examine the photo you'll see that this phenomena was exactly what the guys from Efterklang saw when they went to Thorvaldsens.

hooks out

In collaboration with Sofia Bergman, SPS crew Sune Rieper, Anders Krogdal and Jakob Ingemansson applies for workshop at EASA Manchester 2010.

The theme 'Ephemeral City of Flesh and Bones' explores how human bodies, considered as a building bricks can create choreographed groups and out of control structures based on swarm- and crowd behavior.
How does this change of your body into a building brick change the identity of you and the city space?

The workshop will focus on creating the best study environment ever seen in the History of EASA.
So we Guarantee:
A selection of energizing fruit juices every morning.
3 walking lectures in the city - no class room crap.
Exercises every morning to warm up the body brick.
Inspiration films in our cozy late night cinema.

"Ephemeral Fairy Tailstructures or Two days with a kite"





Is it because we want to fly?
Is it because we just want spend some time together playing at the beach?
Is it an attempt to create a structure only visble through the lens and photoshop?

“Ephemeral Fairy Tailstructures or Two days with a kite”
is an attempt to do all three things at the same time.

Designing/orchestrating disappearence

well, the first intuitive answer must be yes. Could the grid then instead be placed directly on site, and not imposed afterward in illustrator? Painting on the street, on a wall, placing a constructed grid?

Today i went to Fuglsang Museum in the very south of DK to see an exhibition on the theme TREES. This photo is the reason I went there. The way the tree is orchestrated... is stunning and in a sense ephimeral.

støvets æstetik









the Easthetics of Dust ligger i forlængelse af S.P.S' fascinationen af det kortyvarige og flygtige, og er dermed ikke fremmed for projekterne "Ephimeral Euphorium" og "Ephimeral Fairytalestructures or 2 days with a kite".
Det er en art afsøgning af forsvindingen som æstetisk mål - eller delokaliseringen af et stof.
Støv har en tendens til kun at være begribelige for vores sanser hvis det findes i tilstrækkeligt store koncentrationer og mængder, og det er helt oplagt at billederne netop afsøger den arkitektur støven skaber i det tidsrum hvor den undslipper vores sanser.
