Sybille Neumeyer

So, I was in the Swebian forest and I've met allthese people. Between the various gentlemen (andgentleladies) I had the chance to talk with, one ofthe most interesting was ms Sybille Neumeyer , agreat designer and a fantastic collector!

Unfortunately her website doesn't record all thethings she collects, plays, fiddles with (imagine acabinet of curios ities as big as her wh ole life), butyou get some info: http://sybilleneumeyer.de/

In German, the whole thing is labeled (by her) as:"Labor fr Formforschung und Fantasie". Hopefullymore will follow...

Japan

Ms Pan Gu made me noticing that Mario Balotelli isin first instance a cosplayer. Basically, beforebeing the forward of Italian national footballteam, he is (Kimitake

Salamander), from "Yondemasuyo, Azazel-san" (anon-going manga by Yasuhisa Kubo, and a Spring2011 anime series from studio Production I.G).

Balotelli is always in bad mood and angry, because

his character is like this, not because of any otherreason.

Isn't this fantastic? To have a black Italiansuperhero, and who is a cosplay from Japanese

Demons do exist. They arepowerful, malicious,vindictive and... ...welcomeinto cosplay...

Hotel Servino

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmeringlight: my head grew heavy and my sight grewdim

Most of people don't know it yet, but we know thatBeniamino Servino is opening up an hotel inCaserta (where he lives).

The Servino Hotel. One horizontal sliding window,no garden on the roof, some dance to remember,some dance to forget.

We'll go there soon, to meet Beniamino and hisother cool friend, Antonio Pascale (lots of coollads in this Caserta town...).

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice.And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of ourown device"...

Parallel Architecture

Very nice project by James Thompson. "ParallelArchitectures" can be seen at Show RCA 2012(Battersea) until 1 July.

Here the link: http://www.jamesthompson.info/

And here how mr Thompson explains his work:

"My work deals with our perception of space andits interpretation. My approach draws inspirationfrom the description of space in cubism and thepotential duality of space and time, composed ofparallel worl ds and higher dimensions t hat existalongside our own.

Documentation is a key feature of my work, usedas a working methodology and an outcome itself,evidenced through the creation of a tools and asystems used to record, re-map and translate agiven space into something else."
