Leah Gordon’s Voodoo Carnival

leahdyt Leah Gordons Voodoo Carnival

To most people, Carnival means music, sequins, feathers, glitter, girls in minuscule costumes and men in drag, but for the residents of the small coastal town of Jacmel in southern Haiti, Carnival, or Kanaval, means (unsurprisingly for a country where the principal religion is Voodoo) scaring the shit out of each other. And men in drag.

Toast

Nina Braun is immersed in an analogue world, where the obsession with material and her devotion to each individual object emerges from her very personal imagery.

Her approach to materials like wool and fabric are the base for her sometimes child-like and naive objects that result from an intensive working process. Considering that we are living in a digital era where economical aspects of the working process prevail and thoughts and images can be infinitely reproduced, Nina Braun’s approach to work is quite revolutionary.

It’s like a death in the family,” the 70-year-old fisherman said of the Exxon Valdez disaster. “With time it gets a little better, but the pain never really goes away. Until this generation passes on, I don’t think it will ever really be over.”

Poster was created in response to the Supreme Court Decision last June in favor of Exxon Mobile.

Urban Blooz

This project by the pan-European graphic label Shlag was done way back in 2003, and six years later it continues to hold its ground… Urban Blooz is a direct attack towards the incessant invasion of advertising in our daily lives.
