After 3 months... (again)

Time passes so quickly. The accumulation of new projects and ideas completely lost us in the time. 

I always thought that it's better to spend time creating new images than words. This blog is not used to record "everyday" reflections and events, but rather to chronologically organize the process of creating our works. Therefore, such time distances. 

Let's summarize what's new. I'll start with photo stories. In January, according to our annual tradition, we published photos from our “NYE party”. Believe it or not, we do it exactly on New Year's Eve. That's our tradition and I can not imagine doing it at any other time. So it is a pleasant and useful formula.


Due to the fact that I finally finished the battle lasting almost a year (the amount of rotoscoping crushed me for months) with the fashion video for Leonard Wong, I am coming back with more and more impetus to everything that I had to put aside. This means industrial, body horror, cyber porn and the entire VHS aesthetics for which I have been collecting equipment and ideas for the last year. 

The trailer for the 7 minute long film MULTIVERSE which we shot in Shanghai you can see below. Unfortunately, I am unable to determine when and where the presentation of the whole will take place. It depends on Leonard Wong.

In January we published the first gallery with the use of black substance. I think that it’s more interesting visually and offers more possibilities than the slime that we used many times, years ago. 


In February we published new part of the POR/N/OISE cycle. SPECIAL UNIT opens this year's movie formula that I could describe as a mixture of cyber porn and body horror. This aesthetics gives me the most pleasure. It determined me enough that I can finally return to the BLACK LAB project. The idea was to divide this gigantic material into parts and create a narrative similar to a series.
From our first trip to Italy this year, we brought three materials. The first has already been published in the gallery. RED VISITOR is a classic example of our hotel stories. In a similar form (but with a different ending) you will soon get to see RED VISITOR II.


The third material is a sketch. Due to the simplicity of the space, we worked with the typical hotel room layout and daylight lighting. So it’s just basically about two naked lovers having sex. It's more an exercise in composition. The gallery will also be released in the coming months.


Finally few words about the strange photo story titled CLIENT. In fact, it was a shooting test of characters intended to appear in a film, which is created at the request of a private collector. Unfortunately, at the moment I can’t write anything more about it.
