References

Recently I have been looking so much into the tumblr platform.
There are 4 blogs I had fallen in love totally… and I’d like to share them with you. Time to talk about inspiration!

Marvin Ogger
The personal blog of Marvin, my favorite paraglider athlete.

Hygge and Sisu
A charming compilation of things, smart, poethic, solid, I love to get lost onto his blog.

Kimhwan’s Diary
He is one of my references… Hwan Kim, artist based in Korea.

MPD
A compendium of observations and meditations, evokes to me another world and time, to dream.

Things folded and connected


‘Oritsunagumono’ (translated as ”things folded and connected”) is a collection of origami works by artist takayuki hori, created to highlight the environmental threat of pollution to a number of species native to japan’s coastal waterways.

Each translucent sheet is first printed with either the images of fragments of an animal’s skeleton, or, on some pages, human-made discarded objects that are often ingested by the animals in the wild. Using the ancient tradition of folded paper, hori assembles the pages into a three-dimensional model. Once the paper is folded, the printed components are united as a whole, telling the visual story of the animal’s plight to survive in an increasingly polluted and hazardous ecosystem.

While the animal skeletons appear as x-ray images, the garbage they ingest is frequently highlighted in colour.

Too cute. Source DesignBoom.
Thanks to Beni from Outfacing for sharing 🙂

Flags and oddities




I’ve been in Hong Kong last week. While making pictures I did not realize that the flags were there repeated for the people to collect them. Eight or nine streets full of textile suppliers found by chance. As well as the streets for trimmings, metal pieces, ribbons, beads. And also tanners! There is a world of possibilities wide open. Generally a minimum quantity of 5 yards with a full color range available. Easy.

I brought some flags and materials as souvenir, and I had left with the feeling that everything remain possible.

For Hong Kong full version check on my personal diary 😉

The Flying Effect





Life is great, last days I had the chance to spend some time with Ása, from The Flying Effect… She came to fly in Alicante.

I’ve been following The Flying Effect from a couple of years now. Since I discover them I have fallen in love with their project, their minds and their way of being. Here a little note from 2009 inside Blauvent Archives.

I invite you all to know more about The Flying Effect and about their never-ending trips. Follow their articles and their news on Facebook.

We were very happy to have Ása flying with us, wondering when she will be back, and hopefully next time with Anita as well. Happy lifts and long flights to these powerful and insatiable travelers.
