SALONE DEL MOBILE 2018
My second year of visiting the wicked interior design fair SALONE DEL MOBILE and it already feels like a tradition. All those great color combinations, carefully considered shapes and new materials really get my creativity roaring. And on top all this great design is presented in one of Italy’s most beautiful cities. There’s just nothing better than being surrounded by great art all day long with only short breaks for great Italien coffee or an afternoon Aperitivo.

Gili Love
A couple of weeks of sweet island life is definitely how i am now going to escape the European winter every year. After visiting a couple of places that we already knew from our 2011 Bali trip, we decided to rather spent our time on the Gili islands, 3 tiny beauties between Bali and Lombok of which each offers a unique experience of island life. My absolute favorite Gili Air is known for its laidback vibe, yoga and the beautiful turquoise water surrounding it. Natural materials are used everywhere in daily life from bamboo houses to banana leave dishes and there is simply no better view than waking up underneath palm trees.

Singapore Sling
Yes! Finally managed myself a stopover in one of the cities that i always wanted to visit in Southeast Asia: Singapore is a melting pot between East and West, tradition and innovation, established arts and futuristic design. It is a paradise for everyone who loves stylish rooftop bars, busy hipster streets, urban art and modern interior design. I discovered so many inspiring patterns, color shades and artsy details wandering around the city, that i would have loved to just keep exploring this urban jungle for a little longer. But every beauty comes at a price and Singapore’s is paid in excessive amounts of the quite strong Singapore Dollar. So bye bye you beauty of the East, 3 days is all the time we had.

The pleasure of not skipping the best part
One of the best things about the series overload in recent years, beside of course the great variety of shows to keep you busy 24/7, is the fact that opening credits are back en vogue. If you resist the temptation of skipping them (ok it really is okay to skip GoT once in a while) you might find that some of them are a cinematographic masterpiece themselves, not so much just introducing characters but generating a mood horizon and managing viewer expectations. The opening credit creators of Dexter and American Gods did a hell of a great job, but my favorite opening is the creepy as f*** True Blood theme by Digital Kitchen already forecasting the dark theme of the TV show.

David Lynch’s grab bag of surrealism, horror and offbeat humor
Twin Peaks (the original series from 1990-91) by creator Mark Frost and the master of cinematographic surrealism himself, David Lynch, is beautiful small-town tranquility turned into a shady dreamworld between tough reality and yearning human delusion. Don’t be fooled by the hypnogogic opening credits, David Lynch knows his trade and every episode will be provide an enthralling mixture of supernatural mystery, casual crime and 90s high school drama.

The Beat of a generation
On the Road by Jack Kerouac was the first Beat Generation book I got my hands on and I had never before read a book so vibrant with levity and juvenile wickedness. There is so much hunger for life itself stuffed between those pages, that I wanted to get out there and hit the road right away myself. Word is Jack Kerouac wrote the final draft in only 20 days, taping together sheets of paper so he wouldn’t have to stop writing while typing on his typewriter. Word has it also, that he was on benzedrine all this time, but hey – it worked out great! I have engulfed literature from fellow Beat writers Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs, but following Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady on the road through mid century America, will always be my darling.

Vocal morphine by Jolie Holland
I first listened to Jolie Holland when I found myself at one of her concerts in Auckland, New Zealand, not knowing what to expect at all. A rather small audience in a plain room somewhere off K’Road and nothing but this sweet Texas wildflower with a guitar and the most sophisticated voice. A dark voice that would sing of the living and the dead in such an self-evident way, if you closed your eyes, the voice seemed to belong to someone else decades older than herself. I started painting to her music shortly afterwards and her voice is still a regular companion.

The silent magic in Le Voyage dans la Lune
The silent movie A TRIP TO THE MOON (original title Le Voyage dans la lune, 1902) was born in the first decade of motion pictures and is today regarded as one of the most influential cinematographic works. It also is the first Science Fiction movie ever, the storyline following a group of astronomers who travel to the moon. French illusionist and director Georges Méliès, being way ahead of his time, has topped his masterpiece with a range of special effects like multiple exposures, dissolves and time-lapse photography. Pure magic back than and somehow still is.
