http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/9/view/22076/schemata-architecture-office-hue.html - schemata architecture office: hue+. Japanese architect Jo Nagasaka of schemata architecture office has recently completed 'hue+', a photography studio in Tokyo, Japan. The interior spaces are a seamlessly integrated series of facilities which collectively form the shooting area. Smaller rooms focus upon a theme of 'eating', integrating kitchens and dining rooms to allow for a pictorial exploration of the behaviors associated with the selected subject. Avoiding the typical setting of an enclosed box, the spatial sequence encourages a natural rhythm to the physical action of photographing.

Rather than photographing herself to then manipulate each image into monstrous visualizations of her form in digital post-production, the artist's portfolio is developed entirely from her experimentation with hyper-realistic body painting.

http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/10/view/21882/art-basel-trunk-by-klaus-weber.html - Art Basel - trunk by Klaus Weber. German artist klaus weber has created a collection of works entitled 'trunk' shown as part of art basel 2012. The opus explores the notion of mortality through a group of 32 plaster masks, dubbed 'death-masks', which are representations of mainly recognisable subjects that are dead or still living. The expressions on the faces vary from relief to anguish, telling the motley of stories each character has to share, some being very significant historical moments in time. The material used for the pieces is sourced from a local foundry in berlin.
