Happy After-Easter-day!

Anna Citelli, Raoul Bretzel; 'Capsula Mundi', 2003

The Italian designers Anna Citelli and Raoul Bretzel started a beatutifull project called ' Capsula Mundi'. 'Capsula Mundi' captures the idea of a new an eco-friendly way of burying and creating 'green cemeteries'.

The egg-shaped capsule, seen above, is designed to be a coffin.

A space designed to contain the body of a deceased person in fetal position.

The Capsula Mundi will then be planted in the earth, like a seed

and then a tree, free of choise, will be planted on top.

We will be donating our body's to nature, creating new live.

Cemetries will become sacred forests we can visit like parks full of memories.

Capsula Mundi; Recycle Life

Entangled Cinna Monday - Inspiring art

Robyn Cumming, 'Breakdown' (middle part of triptych), 2009

If Robyn Cumming were a creature she would be a troll baby

because they're small, creepily strong and totally adorable.

If she were an object it would be a stack of 500 million 10 dollar bills

which, in turn, would be used to buy more objects.

If she were an emotion it would be laughing that turns into coughing

...and then dry-heave style crying.

Dancing Crows - Video art - Tobias Gundorff Boesen

Tobias Gundorff Boesen, 'Birdcage - videostill', 2011

Tobias Gundorff Boesen is an artist, animator and director, from Copenhagen, Denmark.

In 2011 Tobias entered a competition which assignment was to make a one-minutemovie around the theme - the notion of "place" - wether that might be interpreted as a geographical, an emotional space or a place of belonging.
Tobias Gundorff Boesen created 'Birdcage'.

Tobias Gundorff Boesen, 'Animatic for the screendance film Birdcage', 2011

Above you'll be able to see his amazing 'animatic' or 'moving storyboard'. A sublime preparation for an undertaking with lots of choreography. It must have been great to have been working with Tobias in such a professional way.

Shown below is the final result of Tobias G. Boesen's 'Birdcage' that has turned out absolutely stunning.

The movements of the dancers aswell as the timing of the shots are perfectly synchronised with the music ( by Efterklang ).
The location is amazing, the thin white trees remind of the bars of a birdcage.
And the colours; white of the surrounding, black of the amazing costumes ( by Sandra Møller Svendsen ) and red of the raw meat, are very tasteful composed in every shot.

'Birdcage' is Beautiful in every detail.
