Photographer Tim Tadder speaks out for himself on his new project Black is a Color - “Black is a color demands that we look past skin tone, & into beautiful, infinitely complex humans whose lives matter equally. Black is a beautiful color & intrinsically linked to my own liberation as an artist.”
“When primary colors are mixed at equal parts, black is ultimately the precipitating color. During the process, an imperial display of tones appears in the swirling to mirror powerful structure & emotion from the subjects. At a crucial time for the nation to unite, I hope this collection encourages empathy, unity & a non-binary view of race. Black is a color challenges one to see past profiling & foresee the beauty that is capable of elevating the human experience. Black is a color demands that we look past skin tone, & into beautiful, infinitely complex humans.”

“The art of painting, in many styles, have subconsciously, a big influence in my work.
Also late 20th century movies, the production and set design, I find very inspiring. I like to approach a project as a director, set designer and problem solver in one.
Certain themes will always re-emerge in my work, a strong connection to the classical still life off course, however I like to experiment, try new things, push my own reference framework”

Utilising a combination of photography and 3D elements we created a series of images that show a progression from the original human shape towards an abstracted virtual representation.

Slava Semenuta known as Thisset shares his latest work Contemplate and the words about it:
“This video tells a simple story of any thinking person who is looking for meaning of existence.
A person who is both suffering and enjoying life.
I showed this story in a peculiar way and with my own vision of the world.
In this short music film, there is a share of madness and surrealism.
I wrote an abstract script and was the director of this video and I also drew fonts to decorate the video.
The font is designed in a style that imitates plants and smoke to enhance the surrealistic atmosphere.”
