Experiencing Hypnotism
Francesco Spampinato

Experiencing Hypnotism is a series of black and white images found on the internet featuring people under the control of hypnotists. A circular graphic has been applied on the foreheads, where visible, of these people. Moreover, hypnotists’ sentences have been added. These sentences are commands pronounced by hypnotists to induce hypnosis. Some of the sentences in experiencing hypnotism have been taken from real hypnosis events, others have been taken from instruction booklets for setting up hi-fi systems like home theaters or receivers.

FY – by Michael Wolf

Michael Wolf’s popular Street View-pictures deal with the automatically produced flood of images, which is spread by Google via the internet, and belong to his oeuvre that occupies itself with the conditions of the modern urban life. For FY, similar to “A Series Of Unfortunate Events“, Michael Wolf uses the picture pool of the Google tool as basic material for his own pictures again. During researches he encountered a global mass phenomenon.

You can think about Google Street View whatever you like, there is certainly one good thing about it, because obviously Street View inspires young and old people from all classes of population to spontaneous finger exercises. The gymnastic figures are presented in very different ways. Young men with base caps and adidas-outfits work smoothly from the wrist, drivers and cyclists show their skills casually en passant, business people with tie and collar mostly approach the matter highly concentrated and with stretched arms deserve high scores on technical merits, the working class milieu prefers the upward-sweep-version with a half sideward turn most of the time. Almost acrobatic are the recently widespread “Double Fuck You“-figures, which are carried out from the hollow back or with bodies bent forward.

FY provides an interesting collection of very creative, striking and bizarre versions of this explicit gesture.

Lietuva. Stories of Everyday, Paul Paper

Only now, when I‘m abroad, I can make a book about Lithuania. It is personal and subjective (like everything I do) and not about how my country is or how it looks like. For that, check tourist leaflets. It’s about growing up in a young country full of new enthusiasm. As someone born in a nation that doesn’t exist (Soviet Union), I feel strange roots carving me and my creativity. In dialogue with tradition of romantic depiction of Lithuania, this small tribute tries to avoid telling highly-coloured visual stories of places that don’t look so nice once you actually visit them. It is here rather, through objects and moments of everyday, evoke clues and insights about land that is not easy to find on the map. – Paul Paper

That’s Not Me – Nuri Koerfer

“TThat’s Not Me presents snap­shots taken between 2001 and 2009 of the artist Nuri Koer­fer on hol­i­day and in her home coun­try, Switzer­land. While Koer­fer embod­ies the role of model, her friends and fam­ily act as pho­to­graph­ers, taking pictures of Koerfer posing with the dead animals, or the skeletons of dead animals, that she has found along her walks, playfully breathing life into each cada­ver.

The idea for That’s Not Me came about when Koerfer was in China, where she lived and worked for six months in con­junc­tion with a schol­ar­ship. It’s her first excur­sion into pho­to­graphy, and printed in an edition of 500 hand-numbered copies

Mousse Magazine no. 27

In December, Ute Meta Bauer and Dan Graham met up in New York for a conversation whose scope was determined by their many shared interests and long friendship, as well as a passion for literature that, inevitably, is connected to an extraordinary storytelling ability. Hans Ulrich Obrist and Stuart Comer got together with William (Bill) Leavitt for a long conversation just a few months after his first retrospective at Los Angeles MOCA, an event that John Baldessari celebrates in his introductory portrait of the artist.

For PART OF THE PROCESS, Ronald Van de Sompel talked with Sven Augustijnen about the artist’s new film, Spectres, which focuses on the decolonization of the Belgian Congo, especially the circumstances surrounding the murder of Patrice Lumumba. A dark work that tracks the phantoms of history into their most hidden retreats.You need to read Chus Martínez’s text at samba rhythm. Samba is a movement of the body that reverberates in the movement of the social body. It is also a way to neutralize the system, as the author explains. The art world is flooded with printed matter. Dieter Roelstraete analyzes this phenomenon for PORTFOLIO in relation to the work of Zin Taylor, who is unquestionably an exquisite narrator. To Andrew Berardini, the greatest achievement of Brian Bress’s work is that it makes us keenly aware of how much television entertainment has shaped our mental processes. Yarn Man and his bizarre friends make this clear to us.Building houses out of nothing and against all odds. Abraham Cruzvillegas has translated the experience of autoconstruccion into several initiatives, which he talked about with Vincenzo de Bellis. Fiete Stolte lives in a parallel reality. Not a different world from ours, but the same one according to a different model of time. One where nights are not always dark, nor days always light. Jennifer Allen tried to synchronize herself with the artist’s new calendar, for HARK!
