WoodSwimmer

A music video made entirely from wood for a song by bedtimes.xxx/music, WoodSwimmer is based on a concept I developed while designing a new stop-motion universe…

This is just mesmerizing and awesome.

ARC is having an exhibition in Berlin, "Anything but Chardonnay" tomorrow night (Thursday 28/5), at Loriza- Mainzer strasse 18, 12053 Berlin. Come around!

After some weeks in the dark fotolab I resurfaced only to find that the director Malik Bendjelloul had passed away. His next film which might have been about  telephatic elephants, the moon or a zoo is something I would really have loved to see.. The swedish program "Kobra" did a fine show to honour him that you can watch here even if you live abroad, and in the radio they re- broadcasted his "summer program".

There's an old program with Tove Jansson reading from her book "Bildhuggarens dotter" in the swedish radio at the moment, here. If you don't understand swedish I think you should just listen to her wonderful voice anyway. Beautiful!
