Kirsty Mitchells Wunderland

01 Jan

Kirsty Mitchells Serie „Wonderland“ entstand in Erinnerung an ihre Mutter, die selten ohne ein Buch aus dem Haus ging und als Englischlehrerin Generationen von Kindern mit ihren Geschichten inspirierte.

Nicht zuletzt auch ihre Tochter Kirsty. Als Kirstys Mutter im November 2008 an einem Hirntumor starb, zog sie sich zurück in diese alternative Wunderlandwelt, die sie nur durch das Portal ihrer Kamera besuchen konnte. Kirsty nennt die Serie selbst ein Märchenbuch ohne Worte und widmet es ihrer Mutter.

Die Serie wurde zu einem Wendepunkt in ihrer Art des Fotografierens und veränderte letzendlich Kirstys ganzes Leben. Sie fand durch sie neue Freundschaften, wie die zur Haar- und Make-up-Künstlerin Elbie Van Eeden.

Jedes Kostüm und jedes Accessoire stellten sie gemeinsam her. Nach ihren Vollzeitjobs arbeiteten sie abends und an den Wochenenden an Perücken, Requisiten und den restlichen Materialien. Als Kulisse diente der Wald nahe Kirstys Zuhause.

Die Bilder sind immer das Ergebnis verschiedener Eindrücke. Buchillustrationen, Gedichte, Gemälde und verschwommene Erinnerungen an märchenhafte Königinnen inspirieren Kirsty. Aber auch die Natur beeindruckt sie immer wieder auf’s Neue.

Besonders faszinieren sie die wilden Blumenfelder, die nur wenige Wochen im Jahr blühen. In einigen Fällen wartete sie viele Monate auf den richtigen Moment und bereitete in dieser Zeit die passenden Kostüme vor, bis es dann endlich zum Shooting kam.

Diese wochenlange Planung und die Liebe zum Detail sieht man ihren Bildern an. Kirsty dokumentiert sie auch in ihrem Online-Tagebuch. Hier kann man die einzelnen Arbeitsschritte fast jedes ihrer Kostüme ansehen. Oft entstehen die märchenhaften Kleider aus ganz simplen Dingen, wie Fächern, Büchern oder Blüten. Die Ergebnisse beeindrucken umso mehr. Kein Wunder, dass in Kirstys Ausstellungen nicht nur die fertigen Fotos hängen, sondern in Schaukästen auch die Kostüme und Accessoires gezeigt werden.

Zu Hilfe kamen ihr bei der Verwirklichung ihrer Ideen ihre Studien der Bildenden Kunst, Fotografie und Kunstgeschichte. Aber besonders die vielen Freunde, die ihr unentgeldlich bei der Entwicklung und während der Shootings halfen, waren für sie unentbehrlich.

Im Dezember 2011 entschloss sich Kirsty, ihre Karriere als Fashion-Designerin zu beenden, um sich vollkommen der Fotoserie widmen zu können. Die Konzepte wurden größer, neue Charaktere sollten in maximal fünf Monaten entstehen. Zudem plante sie ein Buch. Das alles war zu viel, um es nur in der Freizeit zu verfolgen.

Im September 2012 war es dann soweit. Das Ende ihrer Serie war absehbar. 60 Arbeiten zählte ihr Wunderland, zehn weitere waren noch in Arbeit.

Aus einem kleinen Projekt, um mit dem Tod ihrer Mutter besser umgehen zu können, entwickelte sich ein enormes Werk. Das Wunderland verselbstständigte sich, wurde groß und real. Kirsty freut sich nun darauf, den Namen ihrer Mutter auf der Innenseite des Wonderland-Buches zu lesen.

Es wird sich anfühlen, als hätte ich endlich mein eigenes Versprechen erfüllt… und ihre kostbare Erinnerung…

Filmed on saturday the 9th of October at the Brisbane Powerhouse. The security guards were onto it with not allowing photography (bless them), so hopefully ‘videography’ is allowed……and i had to just hit record when i had the all clear and whatever song Gotye had next on the setlist was what would be filmed. Lo and behold it was the one everyone’s mad for….. Big thanks to Alex for being my security guard keen eye eagle and watching my flanks for security guards allowing me to concentrate on my filming.

Tamron 28 – 75mm F2.8 Lens Review

01 Jan

Welcome to DSLR Lab 2012 twitter.com We are kicking of the new year with a review of the Tamron 28 – 75mm F2.8 lens. This constant aperture zoom lens is perfect for video and photography and is a great alternative to the Canon 24-70 2.8 L lens. Its a third of the cost and half the size, but produces super sharp images and has beautiful color clarity. More test footage from this lens will be uploaded during the week. Thanks for Watching and Please Subscribe. 😀 Filmed on – Canon 550D Canon 50mm 1.8 Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 Audio – Rode Videomic Zoom H1

Full review: www.carbuyer.co.uk Volvo wants its S60 to be seen to offer a stylish, sporty alternative to rivals from Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and it’s not too far off.

 
 

The Barber Institute of Fine Arts – coat of arms

01 Jan

Check out these visual art images:

The Barber Institute of Fine Arts – coat of arms
visual art
Image by ell brown
This is the The Barber Institute of Fine Arts building on the University of Birmingham main campus.

It is listed currently as being on University Road, and no longer Edgbaston Park Road (I would assume that University Road is the road that goes from Edgbaston Park Road into the University grounds proper).

It is a Grade II listed building built between 1935 and 1939, designed by architect Robert Atkinson.

It is an art gallery and concert hall, and is an Art Deco building. It was opened by Queen Mary.

1935 completed 1939, architect Robert Atkinson. Sophisticated design marrying
elements of traditional institutional classicism with Dudok inspired stone
dressed brick modern. A 2 storey compact block with shallow full height portal
wing to right hand of front. Ashlar faced ground floor and blind lst floor of
brick with flat coped roofline. The horizontal emphasis of the strip
fenestration of the ground floor is suavely combined with the vertical accent of
the slightly battered portal. The latter is complemented in small scale by
ashlar panels carved with symbols of the Arts on the first floor and reflected
by the visual stop of the larger panel at the end of return east elevation.
The banding and strip fenestration of the front follows round on to the side and
rear elevations giving a crisp linear definition to the design.
