Emak Bakia . Man Ray . 1927

Embak-Bakia meaning ‘leave me alone’ / “the female [gives] the peace”

Ambiguous in the title. A collection of double exposed images, stop motion and rotating artifacts. Dancing legs to a man ripping off his collar.

Summer changes the way we dress

the way we think of dressing less.

” One cannot fight the battle without freedom. I think the best way to fight that battle, which equals the unyielding spirit, is in the realm of creation. That’s exactly why freedom and the spirit of defiance is the source (fountainhead) of my energy.”
- Rei Kawakubo (for AnOther Magazine)

By seeing all that is good and evil in the universe

Make all things alike

I see myself in all beautiful things

The Great Glaciers solid of white

Those are existent

However, broken into deep phantom blue oceans

Frosted by haunting feathers of clouds

I am touching those

I am oh, so close

With the dawn peaking shades of purple miasma

My soul escapes to nirvana

All that is miserable is within my misery

I follow the entrance, and you come to the door

Pretty dandelions grow beneath the old hawthorn

New and old, same soil for growth

Fertilizing and giving life to both

Everyone I meet is a mirror image of me

And every reflection a moment, you see.

We must be careful for wishing and searching

But be aware of accepting and finding

Atlas, my hands meet

To feel a hearts beat

Today is tomorrow

Feel deeply into joy and lightly into sorrow

The sunlight is the moonlight

Both brighten the sky

In shades of likeness between you and I

Goodmorning, goodnight

Black Basic by William Claxton / 1967

Recently featured in Dossier Journal, as the ‘first fashion film’ created by William Claxton. Claxton, used this is an experiment of women’s imaginative ways of creating self-image. In the sixties, while defining female sexuality through fashion and the world of power in art, I see this 6 minute film directed as an invitation to exploring.

Director & Creator / William Claxton

in dreams

we create the desire we want

in dreams

exploration of the human curiosity of ‘fruitful’ discoveries. instinctual and sensual of the most essential thing to us- food.

Nothing says discovery other than enjoyment of new rituals.
