Tereza Vlčková: The shared I
Frankly, the thing with the monozygotic twins is kind of spooky. The series “Two” from Czech Republic-based photographer Tereza Vlčková strengthens this very subjective impression.
On the first glance the principle is very simple: she places a pair of childish twins in front of her camera hynotically staring at the lense. Sound simple, but is much more complicated as it seems. On the one hand she is photographing biological twins and one the other hand she is manipulating images by integrating a computer-generated twin. The public decides which pair is real.

David Ryle: Abstract Aesthetics
The photography of London-based photographer David Ryle is like ambient music: without a bombastic effect but still very, very catchy. His images are well reflected, calculated and aesthetic artworks that permanentely catch the eye of the observer.
Especially the series “Space Coast” has taken us. But it was really hard to choose the perfect images out of David’s portfolio. But choose on yourself.

Dave Engledow is the world’s best father, at least if you believe the white cup that is always present in his pictures. His series “World’s Best Father” exposes all these little deficiencies and fears that young fathers face with their kids.

Florentijn Hofman: Giant slugs made of 40 000 plastic bags
Would be interesting to know what the inhabitants in Angers, France thought about the two giant slugs that were slowly pulled through the streets of their hometown. No, that isn’t a scene from an apocalyptic movie, it’s art again.
Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman has made these artworks from 40 000 coloured plastic bags, tied up football nets and a metal construction. Both sculptures are measuring at 18 x 7.5 x 5 meters in size and have been built over two weeks.

Angie Hiesl: Making the ordinary special
In her project “x-times people chair” the Cologne-based director, choreographer and performance artist Angie Hiesl wants to create a scenery that turns the ordinary into something special. For that she fixes white chairs on the facades of buildings around streets and public spaces in cities.

Urban Elements – An urban puzzle
Tübingen-based photographer Boris Loder was searching for a new approach towards architectural photography. He didn’t just want to display surfaces of a building, instead he was eager to show a building in its complete symmetrical and structural form.
So he edited the shoots he took in the streets, exposed them out of their circumference and concentrated on form and structure. The motives are run down buildings, littered with graffiti and crumbling paint. As a result the images seem to be very plastic blueprints.
