Real Fantasy, 2013

or 'Piece Of Me'

Top Prada
Trousers Acne

The best collection ever created. Prada Fall/Winter 2008. A historical moment, impossible to be restaged or relived. A real fantasy and wet dream come true. Men in ruffled skirts, sparkly cummerbunds and extravagant bibs. A radical truth.

Art Interiors IV

Artworks Anette Harboe Flensburg

Paintings as interiors. The imaginary artist room is pink, black and turquoise. Furniture is cozy and inherited, lush and ornamental. Walls, mirrors and windows are inter-changeable. Floors and walls built for psychedelia. Paintings are a must. No one wants to live there, except me. Now we know what sur-reality means.

1. Wouter Vandenbrink Unknown
2. Wouter Vandenbrink St. Tropez
3. Wouter Vandenbrink St. Tropez
4. Wouter Vandenbrink Portugal

Vandenbrink can be regarded a contradiction in itself. His early editorial and late personal work draw two opposite poles: romantic (commissioned) studio blur and (self-imposed) beach hyper-reality. His images pose one question: What is genuinely constructed, or naturally commercial?

Second Life, 2013

or 'Avatar'



























Shirt RAF by Raf Simons
Cropped trousers Whyred
Boots Ann Demeulemeester

When virtual identity turns into overstaged reality, the self-portrait becomes a patch. Distinctions are being made between first and second life. Yet, one cannot sim-ulate what has not been created before.
