Arte rigorosamente proibida!

"Arte rigorosamente proibida" means in English: strictly prohibited art.

It started some months ago as I found an old window frame in the shed of my aunt and I thought: Hey, perhaps I can use it!
But only in the last days I had the idea for what I can use it or how I can use it. The idea is inspired by the street art stuff which I saw in the last time.

Therefore I searched the letter stencils and painted with a permanent marker the text "Arte rigorosamente proibida" on the frame:

Then I stamped with my old letter stamps the text on old paper:

But now I needed a picture to print on it. I thought and thought and then the picture came in my mind. I shot it with my Konica Pop at the vernissage in the Fole Studio. The picture shows two girls who made funny things with the mannequin:

After I printed the picture on the paper, I cut the paper, taped it together and put it in the frame:

Uma lente quebrada funciona!

The circus of life - Salto Mortale

Some weeks ago I was at a circus in Indaial (SC), Brasil. I shot some pictures of the two female aerial acrobats. The first one worked with an aerial hoop and the other one hung on her own hair. Yes, this is really crazy.

I made some sandwich photomontage of several pictures.

Image 1 version 1 consists of 6 pictures:
Image 1 version 2 consists of 9 pictures:
Image 1 version 3 consists of 11 pictures:

Image 2 consists of 6 pictures:

Image 3 version 1 consists of 4 pictures:
Image 3 version 2 consists of 5 pictures:

Pimp my frame.

For one of the pictures of the "Controle de sistema" triptych I tried to build a frame, but the first one became completely askew and the second became too large.
For that reason I used for this picture an old one, which I painted black.

But what to do with the two unused frames?
Pimp it!

The first frame I personalized with 35mm negative stripes:




with the photo montage "santa catarina 2010", brasil, 2010 from the "1 camera + 19lenses = 19pictures" project:

The second frame I'll use for my next project, which is about themes like death, war, misery, pain, destruction etc.:
