THE NEW SINGEL / VIDEOCLIP BY THE BEAUTIFUL LORDE 

“This video was borne from a dream I had a few months ago about teenagers in their own world, a world with hierarchies and initiations, where the boy who was second in command had acne on his face, and so did the girl who was Queen. I dreamt about this world being so different to anything anyone had ever seen, a dark world full of tropical plants and ruins and sweat. And of this world, I dreamt about tests that didn’t need to be passed in order to be allowed in: sometimes the person who loses is stronger. Enjoy.” — Lorde

Krzysztof Olszewski aka KED is Polish photographer, Filmmaker and visual artist. He creates photoseries by helping the surroudings of the picture. Like his project about objects that are standing on the border of a country and before photographing them, he paints them red and white (the polish colors).

KED recently took on the task of making everyday objects “visable again”, like WC pans, satellite dishes, pavers and a bench. Turning them in to a strange looking Discoballs. KED likes to created something with what already exists and makes an art piece out of it. Even though his artwork is meant to set free in nature, some objects are put in museums.

Real-Life Barbie Doll

Barbie_shaped_real_Nickolay_LammArtist Nickolay Lamm created the barbie doll in realistic proportions. He made a 3D model of Barbie to show that not only models give the wrong idea to girls but also the too skinny Barbie. So he gave Barbie the proportions of an average 19-year-old woman. Then photographed the two next to each other, so you can see the difference. Same hair, make-up and clothes on, but Barbie 2.0 is shaped like a ‘real’ girl!
