Welcome inside the house of Victor & Rolf

Captured during the final week of their ground-breaking exhibition at London's Barbican Gallery, this series of films offers a glimpse behind the scenes and into the creative universe of Viktor & Rolf. Featuring an interview with the Dutch duo recorded live during the symposium, framed by three presentations exploring their heritage, designs and the retrospective itself and completed by a video of their subsequent collection 'Funny Face', this project affords a rare insight into the creativity of two of the world's leading fashion stars.

That is why Shedhalle transmitting it in this form and prolonging the application until January 15th 2009. The application must be submitted in German.

CMB - AIGA

Coleção Moda Brasileira, super premiada.

Agradecimentos especiais a Nathalie de la Chevalerie para os primeiros 5 livros, e Caue VM para os 5 últimos. Os últimos não entraram no prêmio da AIGA, mas ganharam o igualmente importante Max Feffer, no Brasil.

Esses dez livros foram minha principal atividade entre fevereiro de 2007 e julho de 2008. Foram muitos dias e noites integralmente dedicados a eles. Me custaram muito esforço, mas agora só me dão alegrias e uma bagagem numa área que eu mal conhecia: a moda brasileira.

A graça maior desses pequenos livros foi também o envolvimento pessoal dos dez estilistas: Alexandre Herchcovitch, Gloria Coelho, Lino e Inez Villaventura, Ronaldo Fraga, Walter Rodrigues, André Lima, Clo Orozco, Lenny Niermeyer , Marcelo Sommer, Reinaldo Lourenço, dedicaram, cada um a sua maneira uma boa dose de atenção e dedicação na busca de imagens, entrevistas, acompanhamento dos textos e do design gráfico.

A segunda parte da coleção teve a colaboração das designers Beth Slamek (André e Reinaldo), Flávia Castanheira e Mariana Bernd (Lenny). A Elaine cuidou do livro do Sommer, que valeu por uns bons três livros, com quase quinhentas imagens. Incluindo o excelente tratamento de imagens do Batata e o pessoal da gráfica, foi um grande trabalho em equipe.

Um dia eu vou contatar quantos profissionais estão envolvidos na confecção de um livro. São muitos.

As former legendary Vogue USA and Harper's Bazaar editor once said, "bad taste is better than no taste."

Out of This World: Deleuze and the Philosophy of Creation

I only have one thing to tell you: stick to the concrete, and always return to it. Multiplicity, ritornello, sensation, etc., are all developed into pure concepts, but strictly speaking, they are inseparable from the passage from one concept to another. This is why we must avoid giving one term ascendancy over the others: every notion must drag in all the others, in its turn, and when the time is right .... The more gifted a philosopher is, I believe, the more he or she tends to leave the concrete behind, at least in the beginning. Resist this tendency, at least from time to time, just long enough to come back to perceptions, to affects, which will redouble your concepts. (Deleuze, 2006: 363)
