... the real one is in your head

the impact of an existentialist

isaku yanaihara didnt't get loose of my thoughts, japanese existentialist philosopher and in no other connection known as with alberto giacometti. 
there is no information about his philosophy or writings only their impact on giacometti; 


a true crisis in his work. 

Giacometti required models to sit or stand for hours for his busts, which, in contrast to his elongated standing figures, have complex and recognizable facial features. He often had trouble finding suitable people, outside his family. From 1956 to 1961 yanaihara posed for him on 230 days - he had enough patience to pose an converse with him about intellectual subjects for 10 hours at a time. 

Yanaihara was not only model and converser of existentialism for giacometti, 1956, with giacometti's consent, he became also his wife's lover. 

Through his association with yanaihara, the actual shape of the head and the true physical appearance of the subject became less important than the mental impression giacometti had. Giacometti's efforts focused on capturing the spirit of the man. He started to look at art in a more symbolic way.

architecture and war are not incompatible.

sorry, for the bad quality, just an illegal mobile-shoot in a museum - here the text:

architecture and war are not incompatible.
architecture is war. war is architecture.
i am at war with my time, with history, with all authority that resides in fixed and frightended forms. 
i am one of millions who do not fit in, who have no home, no family, no doctrine, no firm place to call my own, no known beginning or end, no sacred and primordial site. 
i declare war on all icons and finalities, on all histories that would chain me with my own falseness, my own pitiful fears.
i am an architect, a constructor of worlds, a sensualist who worships the flesh, the melody, a silhouette against the darkening sky. 
i cannot know your name. nor can you know mine.
tomorrow we begin together the construction of a city.

unconventional fashionising

band of outsiders indeed goes for outsiders (of the high-fashion-snobiety) 

mysteriously, far more credibility!

"What I do, making bags, can make a difference. This project gives people control over their lives - charity doesn't give control, it does the opposite, it makes them dependant," she says. "These people have more control over their lives and can therefore choose not to exploit the environment because they have an alternative way of making money."

‎"People have never looked so ugly ... We are so conformist, nobody is thinking. I'm a fashion designer and people think 'what do I know?' but I'm talking about all this disposable crap. So I'm saying buy less, choose well, make it last." - Vivienne Westwood
