Claire Tchaikowski – Undone video, directed in London by Gavin Elder @ heyluke, and featuring the artwork and painting of Anna Nightingale. Anna was graceful enough to let Claire photoshop herself into her paintings, to form the artwork for Claire’s debut album Those Thousand Seas. “We wanted to celebrate this in the video, merge our works, and blur the line between the senses. Looking at Anna’s paintings, I want to climb in them and experience the landscapes, the feelings, the smells, the atmosphere… It took a week to remove all the paint and I will do it all again immediately given half a chance!” “Gavin was a dream to work with, patient, clear, passionate, focused, quick and fun. He used a Nikon D90” Enjoy…! Video Rating: 4 / 5

Bundles of giant white inflatable sausages make a big visual impact on the exterior walls of the Design Miami tent at Art Basel. New York studio Skarnitecture covered the structure in vinyl tubes bundled together at varying heights for a result that’s highly unusual, to say the least.
The studio aimed to transform the tent using limited palette and a limited range of materials, mostly relying on the same vinyl that was already used to create the tent itself.
The tubes drip down into lounge areas just outside the tent like rounded man-made stalactites.
Inflatables give architects an opportunity for experimentation that can’t be replicated with permanent materials. See 17 more creatively amorphous inflatable structures including pavilions, additions, temporary balconies and even entire cities.

I have made this video from my photography to show the beauty and wonder of the first and best national park. I hope more people visit the park so that they can see the beauty with there own eyes. As a 16 year old, I try to get out to the park at leas 1 week a year, but that is not enough for me. I hope to be able to take a winter trip sometime in the coming years. My passion is photography, especially wildlife, so please rate and comment on my video. All photos and video were taken and processed by me, and the music is royalty and DRM free. Video Rating: 4 / 5

Am meisten überrascht von meiner Paris-Reise und den dabei entstandenen Fotos war ich selbst. Schon bevor ich das erste Mal in Paris war, hatte ich eine genaue Vorstellung der Stadt, geprägt durch Filme, Bücher und Fotos.
Bevor es Mitte August letzten Jahres früh morgens losging, haben meine Freundin und ich Reiseführer und Stadtkarten gewälzt, um die ideale Route durch die Stadt zu planen und so viel wie möglich zu sehen – an den zweieinhalb Tagen die wir in dieser Stadt hatten.
Von unserem Hotelzimmer aus konnten wir den Eiffelturm sehen. „Das beste Zimmer im Hotel“, wurde uns an der Rezeption versichert. Ein schönes Extra, aber schlussendlich waren wir nicht in Paris, um die Stadt von unserem Hotelzimmer aus zu bestaunen. So ging es dann also los, von den äußeren Stadtgebieten ins Zentrum. Ausgerüstet mit einem Stadtplan, Metro-Tickets und einer Kamera Richtung Eiffelturm.
Im ersten Moment war ich irgendwie schockiert, denn dieser Aspekt wurde in keinem Reiseführer oder Film, den ich kannte, thematisiert. Und ehrlich gesagt war ich darauf auch nicht wirklich vorbereitet. Ich weiß nicht genau wieso, aber ich fing an, auch diese Seite der Stadt zu fotografieren, schließlich wollte ich meinen gesamten Eindruck der Reise dokumentieren.
Viele der Fotos sind sehr spontan entstanden. Im ersten Moment habe ich mich auf die allgegenwärtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten konzentriert, aber schon beim zweiten Blick fielen mir Situationen auf, die irgendwie nicht so recht in meine Erwartungen passen wollten.
Mit jedem Druck auf den Auslöser, der nicht einem der prachtvollen Bauten gewidmet war, veränderte sich auch der Blick auf mein eigenes Tun und Handeln. Probleme, über die ich mir vorher den Kopf zerbrochen hatte, wirkten auf einmal ganz banal.
Ich kann mich zum Beispiel daran erinnern, dass ich mich kurz nach der Ankunft am Flughafen tierisch darüber aufgeregt hatte, dass wir noch knapp drei Stunden mit unserem gesamten Gepäck durch die Stadt laufen mussten, ehe wir es sicher im Hotelzimmer verstauen können würden.
In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass ich immer wieder Menschen sah, die tagein, tagaus ihr gesamtes Leben verstaut in einigen Taschen mit sich herumtragen, kam mir die Sorge um die fünf T-Shirts in meiner Reisetasche plötzlich sehr lächerlich vor.
Ende März dieses Jahres war ich wieder in Paris, dieses Mal beruflich. Ich war mit einer Band dort, wir haben ein Musikvideo gedreht und Promo-Fotos gemacht. Ich habe gemerkt, dass sich mein Blick auf die Stadt verändert hat und ich mit einer anderen Sichtweise als der Rest der Gruppe an die Sache herangegangen bin.
Es fiel mir anfänglich schwer, die romantische Stimmung einzunehmen, die das Konzept vorgesehen hat. Mir ist bewusst geworden, dass meine Illusion der Stadt zerstört war, auch wenn ich in diesem Moment wieder eine neue aufgebaut habe.
