Un beau choix de livre japonais à découvrir… et un espace pour npous monter des photographies

“Les idées sont comme des poissons, et vous ne fabriquez pas le poisson, vous le péchez. Vous pouvez attraper des idées en rêvassant, ou en vous rendant dans certains lieux. Vous pouvez aller dans la rue, voir un reflet dans une flaque, et bang ! une idée surgit.”

Dans cette animation de The Atlantic, le réalisateur, artiste et musicien David Lynch explique comment surgissent les nouvelles idées. “Beaucoup d’artistes pensent que la souffrance est nécessaire. Mais en réalité, la souffrance gêne le flux créatif”, estime David Lynch, pour qui “la joie est très importante” dans ce processus.

the base of the idea is to having the small book hide inside of the box, like a “chinese trick’s box”

all is supposed to print with the pink map on paper with embossing the hot foil of the titles.

Lagos defies Western ideas of urban order. However, what looks like anarchic activity is actually governed by a set of informal yet ironclad rules. To a new comer to the city, these rules are an absolute mystery but in the shouting, and blaring of horns, and the pushing and shoving of crowds, everyone has a place to go and a way to get there. Robin Hammond’s ‘My Lagos’ introduces us to the color, energy and chaos of Africa’s largest city. Full bleed color photographs take us on a journey through bustling Lagos streets and into the homes of the rich, poor, and rising middle class. ‘My Lagos’ opens our eyes to an Africa rarely seen in western media. Placed over and between these views of Lagos is a series of large format Polaroid portraits accompanied by quotes from the sitters themselves. A businessman, an actor, a fisherman, a pastor, a prostitute speak of their hopes and dreams in this city of strivers. An original Nollywood film poster wraps this beautifully designed book delivering an authentic piece of the city to the audience. ‘My Lagos’ has been described as intense and bold. Much like the city itself.
