“ Drawing a labyrinth with salt is like following a trace of my memory. Memories seem to change and vanish as time goes by. However, what I seek is the way in which I can touch a precious moment in my memories that cannot be attained through pictures or writings. I always silently follow the [...]

Baroque battlefield
Meter-high heads in baroque style, men with streaming locks and women with expressive faces, scattered around as fragments in space. They evoke associations of a battle having been fought between the gods and the titans, the remains of which have now become visible.
The work shows a conflict, an inner battle, but also the [...]

Supersized
The street where I live used to be quite a boring street until Florentijn Hofman decided to do something about that. He applied a layer of only 2 micron of blue paint onto one of the most unseen blocks of houses in my street and it became Rotterdam’s most photographed one. His redecorating made people [...]

Beach Animals
I mentioned it before but for those of you who are new here, I grew up near he beach. During the summer it is a crowded place with playing kids, ice cream and all other kinds of summer recreations. But off-season the beach is empty and that’s when I like it the most.

Here they invade antique Chinese furniture, threatening their traditional past. These toys reveal a surreal and terrifying landscape of derailed trains, drowning babies, crashing planes and wild dinosaurs. They make me question my self-constructed environments, [...]

Temporary Sculpture
Combining the silence of Edward Muybridge’s pictures with the association-rich composition of a still life, Martin Klimas breaks recognizable objects so they become something else, and stops us just at the moment of transformation. And it’s this moment of transformation that provides for us something that we normally cannot see. It is an in-between state where [...]
Hair Hats
I know these Hair Hats has been all over the internet for quite a while but when I posted the Pictopia link earlier I suddenly realized Nagi Noda won’t be there anymore. She was always one of my favorites, so one more time …

Wonderland?! What f***ing postcode’s that?
Grandma would turn around in her grave if she discovered what happened to her beloved collection. To me it’s like I’m finally allowed to play with it.
They still look so innocent and sweet but don’t get fooled, these figurines adapted actually quite well in the “real world”. All human weaknesses appear in Barnaby Barfords group [...]
