DO IT YOURSELF: A BAMBOO PICTURE FRAME

Last sunday was very rainy and boring.
But I had an idea, let's make a picture frame!
OK, let's go!

What you need:

materials:
_ bamboo
_ card-board

tools:
_ saw
_ machete
_ pencil
_ water level
_ sandpaper
_ wood glue
_ brush
_ wood preservative or color varnish


It's very easy! I need more or less one hour and I'm not Tim Taylor:)









Of course the works with the saw and the machete are the most difficult and dangerous works at this! BE CAREFUL!









At the end you've got a wonderful self-made picture frame!

The card-board is 30x24cm large and with the bamboo panels on it, is place for a 17,5x12cm picture.
I put my picture "the moloch lives" into the frame, the contrast between the home-made natural frame and the picture of an industrial city is great:

Mind Jacker Lambe-Lambe #1

In Brazil the people call a 19th century wood camera lambe-lambe. And today I've built a Lambe-Lambe!

First I wanted to build it out of wood , but I didn't have the time for it. That's why I've made it out of carton.
But I created a mutant with 3 lenses!









Of course, it's a fake camera and doesn't work, but it's very nice;)

Full Flavored!

"photo marmalade", installation + photos, brasil, 2009

Invasão das Fotografias.

"Invasão das Fotografias" ("flood of pictures") is a concept for the Pretexto Exhibition.

At the Pretexto Exhibition I show the 3rd option of this concept.

My plan is to expose the 2nd option in a solo exhibition.

What I need:
- a camera: Porst Compact Reflex S
- a lens: Yashica Auto Yashinon DS-M 1.7/50mm without the glases
- a tripod: a cheap one
- some pictures: pictures of a giant wheel

My work for the Pretexto Exhibition.

I've shown my work hanging in the rooms of the Pretexto Exhibition.
Now I show the concept drawings of "A Ilusão" ("The Illusion") and the 4 pictures, which come out of the Polaroid cameras.

"A Ilusão" is an installation with two Polaroid cameras ( 635CL Supercolor and 630 Lightmixer) and 4 35mm C-prints in the size (each) 9x13cm.

The 1st concept: "Invasão das Fotografias" ("flood of pictures") :

"A Ilusão" is the 3rd option of "Invasão das Fotografias". The 2nd option I'll show perhaps in a solo exhibition*smile*.
