Concrete Living II

1. Acne Paris & Raf Simons Osaka
2. Acne New York & Jil Sander New York
3. Acne Paris & Raf Simons Tokyo

Venus de Milo as symbol for the modern woman, as icon of orientation, ideals, beauty (q.v. Acne Paris). A strict and steel version of Daedalus' gigantic labyrinth to hold the Minotaur reconstructed by Raf Simons & Gernaine Kruip (q.v. Jil Sander New York). Sterling Ruby's splatter theme and Roger Hiorns's 'crying tears' triangle wallpaper - echoing this disorientation (q.v. Raf Simons Toyko and Osaka).

Welcome To Tomorrow

Snap - Welcome To Tomorrow 1996

Animated 3D renderings that perpetuate the visions of Dalí and Magritte. Weird illogical elements wafting in undefined space, ranging from clock tower (time) and strip dance pole (sensual enjoyment). Symbols without meaning. 16 years before Raf Simons and Willy Vanderperre for Dior.

The Context Of Use

Artworks Kjell Varvin

The 'oblique' architecture of Claude Parent and the impressions from my last visit to the zoo evoke images of the 'human cage'. Interiors without furniture. Solely equipped with artefacts of forms to be endorsed with new meanings.
