"horts" - gesamtkunstwerk or if artists architected.
work of artist victoria campillo, currently exhibited in the design museum barcelona.
its like a wes anderson movie, the aesthetic of authenticity, the poetry of normality, the hilarious fabulousness of humanity.
you should see the whole hundred photographs of selfconstructed sheds, all situated in the Baix Llobregat area of Barcelona.
art is everywhere

carlo mollino , jack of all trades
this guy really puts me in enduring amazement. "you only live once" at its best - professional skier, architect, photographer, publisher, journalist, inventor, car designer, interior & furniture designer, fashion designer and probably thats not even all. his interior & furniture design captivated me most, therefor i let you make your own picture of his entire work, which is massive. he might be best known for his nude polaroids, but i think the scale between body and space were he worked best.
