TUMBLR

I'm finally moving on Tumblr. I'll keep that blog to update exhibtion reviews and editorials but my "photography work" will be from now on http://alyenor.tumblr.com/ (The graphic tablet obssession)  I'm happy because tumblr users are very reactive which is very motivating !! Not to say that blogspot is dying aha

Private Moon

Since I bought this graphic tablet I am stuck behind my digital window from where I discover new artists. My new crush is Leonid Tishkov, a russian doctor that started a singular and poetic work with a moon glow. 
This contemporary version of Pierrot walks around the world with his mobile star and places it in dark landscapes. The concept is simple, Leonid's work not revolutionary but I like the oneiric universe an electric moon produces on cold no man's land. 

Vintage Bazar

I celebrated my 24th birthday last week and I can say it was the saddest one ever. And because my bests could'nt make it, I opted for a Häagen Dasz pralines&cream + a Wes Anderson film instead. I even missed SBTRKT gig when Liv had managed to get us tickets. :(

Anyway my brother woke me up with 4 littles cakes and candles with numbers. I can't believe it's been ten years since I was fourteen. Wonderful time of creativity, freedom of mind and +++ the right balance when mature thoughts are floating in the magical mental landscape of childhood. 
This nostalgy may explain this very ugly photomontage I did (just bought a graphic tablet and need obviously few more weeks of practice) of Oliv&I Sunday at the 
Puces de Clignancourt

I love this vintage market, it reminds me of London with the french rap stores in extra. Olivia found me the world most beautiful dress and I'll write it down so you know: if something wrong happen to me, please bury me in that pink-powder long gown and its little purse. I want to wear it everyday and as soon as the spring comes I'll find many occasion to do so. With a leather or a jean jacket and flat boots, I can't wait.
Brunch Bazar
If Paris can't compete with Bricklane, there are some good initiatives taking place at the moment like Brunch Bazar. In the middle of Le Marais, a whole building was invested by little vintage shops. We didn't find anything to buy - even if Armelle wanted so bad this white swan headband-  but the atmosphere was nice. Very "bobo" I should say, there was Joey Starr and other french actresses I can't remember the name playing ping-pong and vintage video games (Street Fighter ).

2062

Last week, we decided with the girls to head to the future. The departure from Paris is located at The Gaîté Lyrique. From there you can travel through fifty years along four floors.

Where does my Tweet go ?
Leaving a voice message in 2062
Sending a mail from year 2062 
Designers, artists, engineers and performers are asked to deliver their vision on creation and innovation in the social uses. To be honest, the real motivation of my visit was to see the hoverboard of Back to the future. When I was younger I was pretty sure that in the 2000's these skateboards would be flying everywhere (it was the rumor running on the playground) but I was disappointed once again. I found the video of the experience.
The skate slides without friction above magnetic rails and can carry people over 100kg. I've already experienced the strength of quantum physics while visiting my brother in China and taking the Maglev. The Maglev is a levitation train traveling through superconductor magnetic fields 30.5km in 7 minutes in 400 km/h. Not sure I understand every words of my last sentences.

I found a really interesting article in Vice Magazine THE FUTURE SEEN BY FASHION DESIGNERS IN 1982. Women were predicted to dominate the space...
