The project ‘You Can Learn a Lot of Things From the Flowers’ brings back to light a forgotten collection of preserved plant specimens that was once assembled by a passionate, amateur botanist.

The true identity of this self-made man remains shrouded in mystery and all that is known is his enormous appetite for pseudo-scientific research and occultism. His interests ranged from chemistry to esotericism, astrology and the magical power of “Egyptian” amulets. Fraud, amongst others, was his main occupation.

Misshaped, deformed and almost monstrous. My fascination of today, inspired by Egon Schiele and the the Unorganized Cabinet by Colin Tury.

Today I went with my sister to Lovenjoel, Belgium for a visit at Salve Mater, a psychiatric hospital for females, for an assignment. The psychiatric hospital was a centre for female patients and was owned by the university to educate student psychiatrists. Built in 1926. Partly Abandoned in 1997.

The (school) assignment I am making is for Bloom Magazine (from Lidewij Edelkoort). A forecasting with a photoshoot. Soon at my website.

My top 3 this month:
#1 APARTAMENTO MAGAZINE
#2 RUM MAGAZINE
#3 GLAMCULT

Apartamento is so real and shows the most original homes, living spaces and design solutions. I made an ode to Apartamento Magazine by a photoshoot. Rum Magazine is a danish interior and architecture magazine with the an incredible sense of taste. Glamcult showes the love for design, fashion, graphic design and photography.

I would like to take a moment to look at Rachel Whiteread’s work, because I really like her ideas and strategies. She makes casts of domestic objects, and takes the negative space of them. Almost like turning them inside out and revealing their true nature. As Gaston Bachelard said in ‘Poetics of Space’, a house and the objects inside it are “abodes to an unforgettable past”.

Seaweed by Tell no One, the simplest ideas are often the best. It is made by Luke White and Remi Weekes. Seaweed features (I assume) Luke, contorting his body in random positions but slowly layering himself… over himself. To try and describe exactly what’s happening in this video would be a tiny bit difficult but the end effect is totally rad. In the comments he says he “Cut out the arms and then just jiggled them about” but I have to imagine he did much more than that.

I am fascinated by infestation. Growing. Mold and damp patches are the ultimate shape of beauty. The art work and pictures wich are shown beneath are all based on concrescence and infestation. Martin Scott-Jupp for example made close-ups of the various types of mould which can be found growing on your average loaf of bread, given enough time and neglect. They’re from a series called Colony featuring the beauty and wonder you can find in decaying matter and growing fungi. If you weren’t told that these were molds you probably wouldn’t have ever known, thinking they were some kind of tiny flowers or a set of miniatures shot in a sort of tilt shift way. It’s so fascinating that something so gross could be so beautiful!
