Kukeri

 

The dance of the masked people is a mystic unity of rhythm, sound, and color. They move in special rhythmic steps. They fill the air with the sounds of their bells and of whispered blessings for prosperity. The costumes cover most of the body and include decorated wooden masks of animals (sometimes double-faced) and large bells attached to the belt. The custom is spread all over the South and Central Europe - in Romania, Moldova, Serbia, Greece, Northern Macedonia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria - Link

Sew Your Soul: Lucy Sparrow’s Felt-Art Installations

Sensing Machine n°3

Le M.U.R. is an important tradition in the street art scene in Paris and it’s strictly connected to the neighborhood in which it leaves and evolves. With the idea of a temporary intervention, we decided to realize something connected both to the idea of time and related in a direct way to the location. We then took a sort of photograph of the moment, recording a situation that disappeared in the same moment in which we looked at it and that’s now only recalled in its reflection. A living mirror stuck in the past, showing a reality outside, behind and within that’s changing quickly and whose change is related to what’s around it.Via
