live – missing in the picture

i remember seeing this series a while ago at palais de tokyo in paris and thinking it was quite interesting. hatim el hihi and jean-marie delbes made these images by retouching out the dead people from famous record covers. here are the most famous but there is lots of others equally nice here by pp.

JEWELRY I MIGHT ACTUALLY WEAR… IS BY MIRTA

 

people like to become jewelry designers these days. but it’s still tough to find something i might actually wear. i can’t even remember how i came across this young designer from croatia, but she is studying architecture, living in a little loft with her boyfriend, and making jewelry that whispers. it’s called merta.   by kl

patti smith – polaroids

i remember the first time i saw patti smith polaroids in paris at “la fondation cartier” and the book published along with it. that was so great and so poetic, i guess people are nowadays a little more into those not so tech-ish thing but at the time that felt fresh (even if polaroids are not so fresh per say, i know) so i was happy to see another selection of her pictures this week end in the ny times. so from top to bottom, left to right we have: Pope Benedict XV’s slippers / a replica of William Blake’s life mask / Virginia Woolf’s bed /  Susan Sontag’s grave in Montparnasse Cemetery / Constantin Brancusi’s grave, also in Montparnasse / Robert Mapplethorpe’s slippers. more here. by pp.
