Urban Isolation – Skateboarding In A Global Pandemic // Short Movie
Russel Houghten’s Kurzfilm wurde bereits 2014 gedreht und zeigt Skateboarder in einem utopischen, von Menschen verlassenen Los Angeles. Das Ganze hat in Zeiten von COVID-19 durch die eindrucksvollen Bilder eine unheimliche Faszination. With quarantines and „shelter-in-place“ becoming the new normal, leave it to skateboarders to find the silver lining in this situation. Russell Houghten’s winning film entry for our 2014 REDirect project imagined a bizarro Los Angeles where traffic and pedestrians were non-existent; his eerily prescient ‚Urban Isolation‘ is a must-watch while you are cooped up this week. Please stay safe and healthy, and we hope to see you on the streets again soon! Credits: » Russel Houghten: Website » Russel Houghten: Vimeo » Russel Houghten: Instagram » via Urban Shit
Glowing City // Photography by Slava Semeiuta
Die Serie „Glowing City“ des russischen Künstlers, Fotografen und DJ Slava Semeiuta entstand in Sochi und ist wie viele seiner anderen Arbeiten inspiriert von Surrealismus und Science Fiction (und verdammt viel Neon ;)). I love everything that looks cosmic. Now I often use body painting and Digital Art. I photograph my models turning them into cosmic creatures. I am inspired by music genres: AMBIENT, IDM, TECHNO, AFRICAN RHYTHMS. In my opinion all the most beautiful and really valuable things are right before our eyes from the very childhood, and probably for this reason we stop to notice it when we grow up. Seeing the splendor in things that other people call dull or even unpleasant is a very controversial gift, but at the same time wonderful.

Tom Ryaboi war anscheinend schon immer jemand der Höhen liebt, wie er auf seiner Website erzählt: My father often likes to tell a story about me when I was 2 years old, although I was too young to remember the incident I believe it to be true. He says he returned home from work one day to find my mother doing some house work but I was nowhere to be found. He looked in my room, he looked in the living room, even in the kitchen. His worries were silenced when finally I called out to him from the top of the fridge. He says he is still trying to figure out how I got there. Das erklärt auch seine Rooftopping-Passion – hier am Beispiel der Serie „Rooftopping Toronto“. Aktuelle Updates gibt’s auf Instagram oder seiner Website.
