This is as fashion as it gets on DOP. But Dutch photographer Viviane Sassen‘s work is extraordinary and transcends the common. She’s one of my favorite photographers and this selection focuses on her documentary and personal work.
Places of work
Hans Roth
My father’s home and studio became very inspiring to me. I find it very interesting to see people’s characters reflected…
Ernst Fuchs
Architectura caelestis
Ernst Fuchs was one of the most influential masters of the visionary arts movement.
Illustrating
Infinity
In my point of view these 3D animations of mandelbrot sets are a very effective way of getting a glimpse of infinity
Ashtanga Yoga
Mysore Style
The term Mysore Style means you practice a memorized yoga sequence without being led by a teacher. The role of the teacher is to guide as well as provide adjustments or assists in postures.
Julia Turk
Navigators Tarot of the Mystic Sea
I have always been drawn to things I found suggestive but couldn’t understand. The tarot is such a theme that speaks to my imagination but I can’t explain what it really is.
Ithell Colquhoun
Psychomorphologies
After decades of neglect, the British artist and writer Ithell Colquhoun is finally recognized as one of the most exciting and creative occult thinkers of the 20th century.
Oscar Reutersvard
The Impossible Figure
Oscar Reutersvärd is widely acknowledged as the father of the impossible figure.
Paul Noble
Welcome to Nobson
For 15 years Paul Noble is building his imaginary city called Nobson. He presents this world in isometric projection only and I would love to pay this place a visit.
Jonathan Zawada
Metamathemagical
On these grounds, all perception is a gamble. A meta-level is always just around the corner, and Zawada’s hyperreal imagery is a vivid glimpse into an expanded perceptual bandwidth.
Guy Debord
The Society of the Spectacle
This film is based on the 1967 book of the same name. It’s a radical critique of mass marketing and its role in the alienation of modern society.
Robert Steven Connett
Miracles of life on display
The feelings provoked by Robert Steven Connett’s paintings vary widely. Some will see mostly the beautiful and the interesting, and others will see only the unsettling.
Étienne-Louis Boullée
The Temple of Death
Étienne-Louis Boullée is the master of monumental cenotaphs. His most emblematic project is his cenotaph designed for Isaac Newton.
Pierre Verger
Black Gods in Exile
From detached gaze to initiatory knowledge: Verger is a true messenger between worlds.
Boyle Family
The Tidal Series
The objective of this series was to examine the effect of the elemental forces on the site; and to lift the actual sand off the surface and to fix it in its exact place and shape.
Chris Bryan
Mocean
Watching this video, I felt captured by a primal feeling of awe. One of these rare moments when we glimpse how inconceivably vast and powerful this reality is.
Irving Penn
Worlds in a Small Room
Best known for his fashion photography, Irving Penn’s repertoire also includes portraits of creative greats, still lifes and ethnographic photographs…
Makishi
Death dances for living people
The western culture is devoid of meaningful rituals that help you grow through the stages of life. I think that’s the reason why I’m so fascinated when I find it in other cultures.
Brenna Murphy
Resonant hyper objects
The ancient and the yet unseen echoes through these arabesque hyper realms, with an almost hallucinatory effect.
Ivan Rabuzin
Symbols of the absolute
Rabuzin found the utmost simplicity, concision and perfection in the sphere and the circle, which were to become his symbols of the absolute, symbols of completeness.
Paul Wunderlich
Everything you can imagine is real
Paul Wunderlich was a German painter, sculptor and graphic artist. He’s one of the most important members of the Magic Realism movement.
