LINA SCHEYNIUS captures her subjects ( her friends, her loves, her family, or herself) in the style of an open diary.
Her images are simple, in film, never digital. There is no effect, low-tech style. Shown in series, these images create anecdotal situations that leads the viewer to consider the details of everyday life. LINA SCHEYNIUS tells us stories between truth and fiction. Her autofiction questions this new question of our phonecam society : where do we draw the line between life and the way to tell it? – by EMERIC GLASE
Raised and born in Sweden, LINA SCHEYNIUS now lives in Paris. And good news, she will have her first solo show at gallery Viktor Wynd Art Inc in March (Opening the 18 March, 2010).

When I Was Seventeen
If you read Dazed and Confused, the New York Times Magazine or the – excellent – Kilimandjaro Magazine, you probably already saw the photographs of LUKE STEPHENSON.
This British photographer is talented and it is not for nothing that he was one of ten photographers selected to take part in the Festival International de Mode et de Photographie in 2006.
LUKE’s work are centered around the perceptions we hold of others, and the objects with which we surround ourselves. Elements of quirky humor are used in his pictures to highlight a characteristic that may lead the viewer to a variety of conclusions; some intended, some that may be personal to the viewer alone: “I want my pictures to provide the basis of a thought, but for the viewer to finish the story.”

symbiotic series
Her name is ASHLIE CHAVEZ. She is a young analogue photographer with a BFA in Creative Photography and is best known for the collaborative work she did with her twin sister (Amber) called Symbiotic.
“What Happens In The Grotto…Stay In The Grotto” is the third year collection (2009) of MARIEL MANUEL, a Swiss fashion designer currently studying at ROYAL ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS Antwerp.
The whole project (a kind of ethnical collection mixing fur, lace, tartan, wood) is simply perfect: Her sketches are stunning (you just can’t miss it!) and the photographs by Swiss photographers MAYA ROCHAT and SOPHIE BRASEY make you believe in a wild-glamour society living at night in the desert.

YACHT. Psychic City (Voodoo City)
YACHTwill be your new favourite indie electronica band, for sure:
YACHTis kind of a band, but it’s mostly a genre-and-media spanning life project founded and led byJONA BECHTOLTof the Northwest of America’s very own Portland, Oregon. (and new member CLAIRE L. EVANS) make anthemic OCD power jams, soak them in holy water and rewrite them into new mantras.
In 2007 alone, the band played more than 200 shows in 17 countries around the world, chasing album releases in North America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and China, and touring with such luminaries as LCD Soundsystem, Architecture in Helsinki, High Places, and Vampire Weekend. From lunchtime shows in middle schools, to stuffy rock clubs, to festivals around the world, to New York City’s The Kitchen, to the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, to a commissioned large-scale performance at Paris’ Centre Georges Pompidou,theywill play anywhere to unforgiving assholes and evangelical followers alike. – perfect description by YACHT

THORSTEN BRINKMANN´s photographic self-portraits are initiated by the things he finds: objects discarded by the civilisation, which he finds in bulk waste collections in the street, but also ordinary things like bottles, flower pots or shelves. Even his own body becomes an objet trouvè by the artist.
He pulls pieces of clothing he has found over his head, presses the delay-timer of his camera, runs toward a wall he has equally found, places a lamp shade, a pot or the cover of a tennis racket over his head and finds his pose. The results are unconventional.
His work so far has centred on the close relation between objects and people, always trying to evoke elements of painting in his sculptures or photos but
the importance of the performance part is equally an important characteristic of his work.

I’m jealous of REBECCA TEAGUE! I’m jealous because she lives in Californian (they have something called sun there) and because she is simply talented: her very contrasted black and white photographs are stunning.
ps. I discover REBECCA through the WFW Flickr Pool…don’t be shy and submit your work too!
