INNAN - Red Obsession
A portrait of Inna, muse, artist and designer.
Ukranian-born and Berlin-based, Inna draws on her life, the people she meets, the places she visits and the world around her, to create simple jewellery in bold, timeless metal, precious and semi-precious stones.
From the Brutalism of the Soviet-style architecture she remembers from her childhood, to the rhythms of modern-day Berlin and Paris, Inna develops her identity.
In her subterranean Berlin workshop, she designs and hand crafts her pieces. From conception to creation, designing to finishing, Inna focuses on simplicity, luxury and realizing the hidden potential of form, immortalizing memories and moments in metal. From one-off bespoke pieces, including engagement and wedding rings to complete collections, she sells online, in selected outlets worldwide and has been exhibited at Paris Fashion Week for four consecutive years.

One Thousand Stories by JR
In his easiest manner of a humanist, French artist JR recently finished a large scale project “One Thousand Stories” - the Chronicles of San Francisco, and a video mural of 1206 San Franciscans now on the view at @SFMOMA
The film directed by Tasha van Zandt is currently exhibited at SFMOMA alongside of JR’s mural. After a first mural in Les Bosquets, a neighbourhood near Paris where he has worked for many years, JR chose San Francisco. A city very rich in contrasts, whose recent history could be told in a powerful way through a mural. Since the visit of Diego Rivera in 1931, San Francisco has a long muralist tradition. The city features immense innovation and wealth as well as one of the highest rates of homelessness in the country. In, 2018, JR and his team spent a month roaming the city of San Fransisco, parking their 53' trailer truck in 24 different locations, to capture anyone who wished to participate, directly from the streets. As a result, over 1,200 people have been filmed, photographed and interviewed; each person choosing the way they are represented in the fresco.

Slow Lens by Vincent Leroy
“Slow Lens is the newest piece from French artist Vincent Leroy, who often explores optics and light in his large-scale installation work. The piece is suspended from above, and a network of curved, translucent lenses distorts the viewer’s perspective. Displayed en plein air, the connected lenses slowly rotate and ofter multiplied visions of the surrounding environment. Leroy installed and documented Slow Lens in various locations around Paris, including in highway lanes that were vacant due to pollution-induced city traffic restrictions.” via @Colossal

Unacceptable Behavior
Presenting a film inspired by thoughts from actress - Destiny Nolen (@miss_destiny_nolen). Directed by Clément Oberto, Unacceptable Behavior is a light poem about youth and loneliness. It is narrated by Georgia Feroce and guided by a subtle and sensitive score, composed by John Tejada (@johntejadaofficial). Clément Oberto created a film which follows a woman on the edge, someone who feels too much, a fragile and strong soul, always on the verge between bursting into tears or into generous and beautiful smiles.
“Our heroine wanders through the sublime landscapes of the American West. More than a portrait, this is a generation testimony, solar and vibrant. The story of young adults ultra-connected and yet still alone, victims of their hypersensitivity, trying to find harmony in this delicate balance between remains of childhood and promises of adulthood.”
Clément Oberto is French director and producer living in Los Angeles. His work revolves mostly around the feminine figure in music videos, commercials and Art films.

Hipsters in Stones by Leo Caillard
Started as a fun series several years ago becomes a personal art project “Hipsters in Stones” of Leo Caillard, artist and resident of MTArt Agency.
“The statues, with their clothes stripped away reveal a magnificence of shape and balance. But what were the greeks wearing when they weren’t posing for sculptors? Appearance, in all its many nuances, presents character. One’s dress sense indicates one’s priorities, choices, lifestyle — are you ‘in’ or are you ‘out’? Hipster or classic? Which tribe are you a member of? which tribe we the men posing for these statues from? Hipsters in stone presents a twist on these themes — take the ultimate from the classic world and add a modern, contemporary twist”

Inner Dialogue by photographer Romain Laurent
"Romain Laurent has a knack for creating striking photos—images you can’t un-see, the kind you just have to click on. With his work it’s often hard to tell what you’re looking at, which elements are digitally composited, and what’s real (is any of it?). “Inner Dialogue” is more obvious its trickery, but nothing here is over-edited. Less is always more and he uses just enough." via Bo7M
