Windlass detritus

so many things we can do, redo or undo in html and not in real life - here are some old time traveling ones, redid, remade, even destroyed...

to be clear

what do we do, what do we see, what do we claim, what do we paint and what do we actually see when we look outside the big picture???

the conception of "this is not art"

once you get familiar with any concept (logic or not) you start to use it once you get adjust to something and got to use to it it will become logic and anything else will disturb you but what is great about our tiny brains is that we get used to actually anything we just have to get any kind of confirmation for example i am writing this only with small letters and without any points breaks or other symbols we use in our writing language this is the same with art at some point everything is art it just have to be pronounced and to be accepted at least by one other person than the artist himself and there we go the stone is rollin but to be honest a lot of things out there are just the emperors clothes and my conception about this is not art is actually the same at the one from people claiming to do art so in the end everything is art and it is not at the same time 

To get to normal - 

The image you see my dear Julian (expression used in some Michelin kitchens between chefs as Gordon Ramsay or fuc*in Jamie Oliver - even if I have no proof of it)... so the image you see my dear Julian is just me, holding a masque made of wood, taking as photo by using the photo booth of my macbook, than adjusting the contrast in Photoshop, copying it, rotating making some more copy paste clicks and adding some render lens flare filters - adjusting everything on a black background and that is all - my personal 5 minutes mandala that can be printed on any object as paper, t-shirt, mug, bottle, flag and so on. Is this art? NO - this is the conception of me having 10 minutes off and since it rains I thought why do not do some "art" and write about it on blogger - I agree I could also go out and take some photos by flipping my camera in the rainy neighborhood and pretend to be a street photographer - nope I decide to be just a blogger and podcaster and sometimes even human.   

Have a nice day!      

chain reaction

can you get away with that? 

can you call it art? a concept? 

I do not know what s about you, but this is the chain reaction of an orange and me and my knife and my love to eat oranges - at least my opinion, but (there is alllllways a but) - if you do anything as a result of a concept (also called concet - since the P is quite not used so often) - of corse it is art - at least you die trying or you have the chance to get away with it.

So here is my latest art work - I will call it:"the blue chain reaction of inspiration part one" or "superplidodium" - for example ;)

About Life

happy after ever - life is as simple to made as a cake
just ass a lot of chockolade in it ;)

Still - life 5

 

Like I said few weeks ago - it is quite amazing what the nature is capable of. 

Still - life 4

Still - life 3

Still - life 2

Still - life 1

In French it is called "nature mort" (dead nature) - the still-life is just an other term for it. Here is my own conceptual work about the REAL dead nature and what we can do with time and biology!

 

It is amazing what the nature is capable of. Take few minutes and take a good look at this little thing I took with my Nikon - what do you think this is? During the next few weeks I will show you few other examples of "death nature" - literally what I did was experimenting with the rooting and drying methods of sliced fruits and vegetables, their transformation in the complete dark or in a sunny place, there changes in cold environment or hot environment and the big challenge now is how to stop the process and to preserve it for the future without using additives that will change the aspect of the object and without storing it in a box? 

If you have some ideas or experiments on this subject please contact me on dzennan@gmx.net...

Enjoy and cheers

France 2011

When you have some free time in the wilderness and few pounds of blue sand, you can use the nature - it provides almost everything you need and build something like this. If you have to survive, you might build something different, like a shelter...

For those who follow my work, this is not the evolution of my mandala series, just good old fun in the forests surrounding me during this one hot summer day in France.
Enjoy

starting a new mandala

I started today a new mandala, so when I finish it (I am not sure when) but I will post the photos. The place where I do it is in France in a castle, where I live at the moment...

degradation of the mandala

Normally the mandala has to be destroyed quickly just after her making, but I decided to let the nature do the destruction part and it works and it continues and I love it and it hurts and finally I start to understand...
