Wishful Thinking #2


Front Chess Table, 2009

A table for rivalry (as self-described by the creators), this black-and-white checkered object has proven itself a valid display for naked bodies wrapped around - perfectly shown in the photography project Inside The Box by Erwin Olaf and Marcel Wanders.

Prince Charming




Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2013

The 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' chess check, 'Prinz Eisenherz' hair, a 'Ken Park' cast. Infantile as core value, historic nostalgia as ironic pastiche. This season's Homme Plus is a Boys' Plus coming-of-age toy story.

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.

Part III of 'Duplicate Diptych Week'



1. Paul Outerbridge Ide Collar, 1922
2. Julia Hetta Noblesse Nordique, 2012

The creating of a duplicate is avoided when new elements are added. Thus the 'duplicate diptych' depicted above may as well be referred to as 'composed copy' - each detail meticulously thought-out.
