Her Morning Elegance

President of the Vancouver Skateboard Coalition, Michelle Pezel, has created a girls’ skate and motorbike ‘zine called Idlewood. The zine is a first for Michelle and her tenacious female companions which subverts expectations by mixing a twee aesthetic, like gingham, with macho photos of oily hands and engine smoke. - Shelly Lee Jones

At first, she had attributed the strange scribble on the blackboard to her forgetful memory. Now she descended the stairs each morning with dread, petrified of what the poltergeist wanted to communicate today.

For weeks the lamp had been creeping closer to the sofa, ready to engulf the man with its black lampshade of doom.

‘paris street view’ is an outdoor exhibition in amsterdam’s zuidas area by german photographer michael wolf. the exhibition consists of 24 extremely large-format works  installed in the streets for public viewing.

Over his years of living and working in hong kong and paris, michael wolf has concentrated on anthropological issues with a focus on urban living. contemporary visual culture features  prominently in the meaning of his work and subjects such as population density, privacy and voyeurism are recurrent themes. ‘paris street view’ deals with the cultural identity of paris. with the aid of google street view technology, wolf investigates the concept of representation and symbolism. by using pixelated images from the internet, he breaks through paris’ nearly universally recognizable photographic iconography and suggests a new way of reading the city.  two people embracing on a busy paris street, for instance, are a playful reference to robert doisneau’s ubiquitous ‘le baiser de l’hôtel de ville‘ from 1950. but cropping out parts of  images on google street view, ‘photos of photos’ are created that shed a new light on a city in which nearly everything has already been photographed.
