INFLAGRANTI ➔ SPACE 2.4.11

In Flagranti is the duo of Sasha Crnobrnja and Alex Gloor. They both have beenin and around various scenes on opposite sites of the globe between New York and Europe. What they share is the simultaneous discovery of the italian cosmic scene from the late 70's early 80's. Both were hooked after hearing some of the mixed tapes in the early 80's, which had this hypnotic blend of electro-disco-afro-rock-funk-dub.


Marc Laroche - "HAIR" SERIES

Photographer Marc Laroche shot a kick-ass black and white photo series called ‘hair’.
“ -I guess I’m old fashioned“, says Luxembourg based photographer Marc Laroche, “but I really need to get to know my model before I’m able to shoot beautiful pictures. I just talk to them in advance and try to relate to their personality which results in an intriguing visual interaction.”
“Hair/Soul. Black and White pictures of hair taking shapes that you’ve never seen before. Hair is such a big part of our character, and yet nobody seem to give it proper credit. It’s such a feminine, elegant and graceful feature, that I just had to do a series on it.”

Viktor Hertz - PICTOGRAM MOVIES POSTERS

Viktor Hertz combines two of his greatest hobbies, graphic design and film, into a clever series starring pictograms! Often seen on signs or instruction manuals, pictograms serve as our universal language, a way for all of us to quickly figure out where we're going or what we're (not) allowed to do. To him, this set became Hertz's "form of expression," a way to stretch his creativity and imagination.
"I’ve always been fascinated and a bit obsessed by pictograms, with the way they are as simple as possible. A classmate called me a 'pictophile' the other day. I can only agree. I made a few Kubrick posters some time ago, using pictograms, so that’s where it all started. Now I wanted to be consistent, and do a series of posters using the same grid and style, making them work together as a whole.
I try to bring a twist to it, and not get too simple. I want to be unpredictable and entertaining, and make something that communicates the film instantly, yet in an original way."

THA LOVELY BASTARDS

Barbara era uma senhora de 85 anos, que desfrutava de uma reforma calma. Mas os dias de Barbara mudaram quando no andar de cima do seu prédio se instalaram dois rapazes, Mad.Mac e Nuno Lopes. A música nunca parava de tocar e a Sra. acabou por morrer de um ataque cardíaco. 
Barbara prometera vingança para aqueles dois rapazes, assombraria todos os seus DJ sets...“Tha Bloody Bastards” foram as suas últimas palavras!
O fantasma de Barbara perseguiu-os noite após noite, festa após festa. Aos poucos o sentimento de culpa foi crescendo e a alegria de tocar foi desaparecendo...Barbara estava a conseguir a tão esperada vingança.Já quase desesperados, partiram os dois em busca de uma forma de a compensar...foi quando surgiu "Tha Redemption Tour". Trocaram as noites de sábado pelas tardes de domingo, o vodka pelo chá e percorreram os lares de Portugal. Impressionada pela alegria que espalharam e pela energia que recuperaram, Barbara decidiu rebaptizá-los de "THA LOVELY BASTARDS".

Sagaki Keita

Sagaki Keita is a young Japanese artist with a penchant for doodling. Sagaki Keita turns classic works of art into collages filled with thousands of random doodles. From afar, Sagaki Keita’s art looks just like any other black and white recreation of the Mona Lisa or Brutus bust. A closer inspection reveals the thousands of tiny doodles that make up everything from the Mona Lisa’s smile to Brutus’ hair. The doodles themselves are often humorous, with bizarre creatures and scenes jam-packed side-by-side.

Reflection of Time by TOM HUSSEY

For his series Mirrors, Dallas-based photographer Tom Hussey paired images of elderly subjects with reflections of the “younger versions” of themselves. The results were so impressive that they were used in an award-winning ad cam­paign for an Alzheimer’s drug.
“I was talking with a World War II veteran, Gardner, about his life experiences,” says Hussey, explaining the genesis of the project. 
He was about to have his 80th birthday. He commented that he didn’t understand how he could be 80 years old as he felt he was still a young man. He just didn’t feel it was possible he could be 80 years old. I started thinking about a milestone age approaching for me, as I was nearing 40. I realized that everyone thinks of themselves at a certain age or time in life. I built a bathroom set and photographed Gardner staring into his bathroom mirror and seeing himself as a 25-year-old young man.
