About
I noticed as I drive to work, and anywhere else for that matter, that there are so many business names all over the place - big signs, big letters or painted right onto the building. Since I have a newfound affection for the camera phone and since these things caught my eye, it will be the start of a new series for me - business names on buildings.
I tried to upload images and links but an error appears,I hope you rearch by yourself,there is something in your photography that you are still discovering, and I like this.
Brothers Quay are two of the most original ultra surreal filmmakers of the past decade. They are identical twins born in Pennsylvania and living in London in a low profile manner. They have made their unique and innovative animated films in Koninck Studios. The Quays are characterized by love to detail. The imaginary, the mystical and the fairytale, all possess in their movies a haunting relationship with colour and texture by means of their special use of focus and camera movement. They are masters of miniaturization and on their tiny sets they have created an unforgettable world, suggestive of a landscape of long-repressed, nostalgic childhood dreams. With Institute Benjamenta they made their first movement towards a live-action feature-length filmmaking. The Quays' interest in esoteric illusions finds its perfect realization in this fascinating animated lecture on the art of anamorphosis. (De Artificialia Perspectiva or Anamorphosis, 1991, 15 mins, Color, 35mm & 16mm) This artistic technique, often found in 16th and 17th century paintings, utilizes a method of visual distortion which plays mischievously with the relationship between the eye and what it sees. The Quays have also directed pop promos for His Name is Alive, Michael Penn, Sparklehorse, 16 Horsepower, and Peter Gabriel (contributing to his ?Sledgehammer? video).
