stranded together

A bunch of record covers - standing in line waiting to be played - unexpectedly forming a harmonious mix of melodies and colors. A line-up from top till bottom: 'Roxi Music 001' (produced by Tina Schott and Tina Kohlmann) - Love 'Forever changes' - Köhn 'We need more space in the cosmos' (released by KRAAK) - 'Tropisch Excuus' (produced by Joke Leonare Desmet) - Pierre Elitair (released by Ultra Eczema) - Ciganydalok 'Gipsy songs' - Roxy Music 'Stranded'.
As you can see, the Roxy Music cover stranded above our couch and I'm planning on keeping it there for a while.

roxy in limbo

Above, a serie of screenshots I took from Roxy Music's 'Limbo' videoclip (1988).

This Sunday I saw Roxy Music live at 'Lokerse Feesten' (the music festival with the famous giant waffles) and as part of their videoshow they showed some of these images on the screens. I have to say, I was a bit amazed. Okay, we already saw that Brian Ferry knew how to pick his album covers girls, but I have the feeling soft-hearted Brian really overdone himself in this videoclip.

copied the ceiling

Also happened in our humble but homey - fort 8 - space:
In the midst of night, Yana and I made a simple stop-motion film with some help of an overhead projector and color filters. The image slowly builds up to a copy of the brick ceiling (at least we took a shot at it).

faller landscapes

These are paintings by the hand of Joachim Patinir (c. 1480 – 1524), a Flemish Northern history and landscape painter. Patinir was propably the first painter who saw himself making independent landscapes, instead of biblical scenes in which the landscape only played a decorative function. As you can judge from the miniature scale of the figures, Patinir fiercely tried to reduce the biblical connotation to the minimum. The painting below, titled 'Flight into Egypt', is part of the collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp and can be admired there every day. Do not get fooled by this reproduction, the small dimensions in contrast with the painfully accurate details make that you never get tired of looking at this masterwork. A perfect scenery for some Faller trains if you ask me!
