Dreaming in a pragmatic way.

11/15/2011 by chicquero

Dream Sequence Madame Peripetie aka Sylwana Zybura is a polish photographer based in Germany. The conceptual photographer is greatly influenced by Surrealism, Dadaism as well as the new wave era of the ’80s, British post punk scene and the avant-garde theater. I love her dreamy sequence, very out of this world. Sylwana explores the boundaries between fashion, photography and the human essence, experimenting through different colors, shapes and feelings. So peculiar, strange and beautiful, at the same time. Keep dreaming.. […]

“Every so often a shoot will come out to remind us that Lara Stone is impossible. The sort of impossible that defies nature, goes against the laws of physics, and leaves us scratching our heads in dismay. If you wondered what might happen to the trend of nudity in fashion then this shoot for Interview may at least set those questions to rest, for as long as there is Lara the trend is not going to go away.” And should […]

Anyway, all these lines to express that I was often frustrated not to have my camera when I needed it. Now, […]
