"The work of Daniera ter Haar & Christoph Brach, who have become better known by the name of one of their projects, Raw Color" is fascinating and dreamily colour saturated. Love these still lives created for the New York based online design magazine 'Sight Unseen'; "a still life series that tries to capture the characteristics and associations of certain color shades."
And have a look at this little research project they did where "planes, shadows, hues and reflections are subject". 'This Is Basic' was exhibited at 'Lift Off', during the Dutch Design Week 2008, and the "focus is on the structure and spatiality of paper by means of shadow, reflection, lines and color arising as abstract images. Through exposure color gradients and reflections which normally stay unnoticed appear. Paper doesn't look like paper anymore."
'Stuffed-Peep' is where 'via a mix of colours, letters and birds evolves an image from universal language. This photo-series is playing with the perception of stuffed birds. The written word is a reference to the former voice text of every bird, the peeping. In Ornithology (the study of birds) this is specified by each bird species. These animals being exposed to the camera are now nothing more than an image of themselves, they are no longer flying or whistling."
And lastly cos I probably have to stop somewhere, I would so ♥ one of these...a Raw Colour Agenda 2011!
Wow. Happy Monday!
