Fred's back by Lina Scheynius

Lina Scheynius was born 1981 in Vänersborg in Sweden and grew up in Trollhättan. She moved away from home at 16. After that she spent most of her time in London and at the moment she lives in Paris, but still goes back to London and Sweden. She thinks she works best when she keeps moving around. This picture is taken from her flickr account but you can also see her work on her site.

Anette Lenz

Anette Lenz has the most minimal site I've seen. She also has a great posters portfolio. That's why I searched on google and I found some of her posters. Many of them are designed in collaboration with Vincent Perrottet.

Akatre

I was reading yatzer, one of my favourite blogs on design, and I saw this image. It is a work by Akatre, a French design studio with amazing projects. Read more on yatzer or visit their site.

Entr'ouvert

Entr'ouvert is a photographic project by two young photographers from France, Vivien Ayroles and Stefano Marchionini. "The work presented here originates in our desire to integrate photographic images of different origins into diptychs, whose nature is to shed new light on their constituent parts. The combination of the images chosen here shows the relation between man and the urban or rural landscape, the relation between ‘internal’ (the intimate dimension) and ‘external’ (the social dimension). It is our wish to avoid whatever narrative might originate from the single images used in the diptychs : there is no story, there is no text."

On rentre à l'heure où les oiseaux chantent

I just ordered this book! It is by a young photographer from France.
"Yves Drillet is a young upcoming photographer born in the nineties, studying at the Fine Art Institute of Rennes, France. Even if his photography follows Larry Clark, Ari Marcopoulos or Ed Tempelton footsteps, Yves Drillet gives us a fascinating documentary on his contemporaries. Beyond the portraits, the parties or some empty landspaces, the photography of this artist reveals above all the strong and sincere vision of a 19 year-old boy's modern world."
This is where I bought it from: Kaugummi Books. Check out their catalogue!

Philippe Parreno is a French artist of an Algerian origin. A few weeks ago I was in Zurich and I visited his exhibition at Kunsthalle. It was one of the most inspiring exhibitions I have seen.
