I have a suspicion that the world that comes to us from everywhere is not the real world. Maybe the only way to experience the real world is to approach it with just a big desire. I think that´s the secret, and now I want to see what it will do to me.
At the beach we had all the time in the world.
The night in Alphaville is quite odd because no one sleeps. The ordinary life is somehow reversed and no one is really working with ordinary things. People are just meeting with each other and everything is quiet and very busy. The streets are quite empty and I was told that it could be dangerous outside. But why? everything looks so familiar. There is no answer to it I suppose, but people really prefer to be inside.
In the late evening I entered Alphaville. This is what I saw through the yellow windows of the slow train. I need to be careful now.
Not far from Alphaville I found the first track of evidence. A small piece more like a moment of awareness. The secret minds of people, buildings, empty windows. Everything felt somewhat familiar and timeless. Did time exist? I can´t remember. Was there a secret? I can`t remember. But I need to go back there just to find out what the man wanted to tell me.
Ödet är ett ord för obeskrivbar inre visshet. Upplevelsen ska inte förväxlas med fatalism eller predestination och kunskaper om det beskrivbara, lagbundna; det som blir tydligt genom ett fysikaliskt eller kunskapskritiskt system, genom tal, genom begreppsanalys.Idén om ödet kan bara kommuniceras med konstnärliga medel, genom bild, en tragedi, film, musik. Den ena kräver analys, en förstörelse, sönderdelning. Det andra är helt igenom skapelse, skapande.

Since Berlin I know the northern parts of Europe has it´s own agenda. When it comes to politics things will never change. Or is it politics? It´s not just a feeling anymore however, it´s for real and I say things are happening big time. This is the the starting point of “The Game” and I will be back with more evidence.
I´m proud to announce that “The Blueprint” is shown online at the Swedish independent art magazine serge.se. Go there! These folks are awesome, the magazine is great and their house , a wooden castle next to a small lake, is even greater, more or less like an amazing tale. Of course I´ve been there!
Nothing has changed…
Finally!!! (well, one week to go but I just can´t wait) I don´t want to say no more, we have made it again. Release by Connective Records and art work by me and Emil Sandberg. The tracks?? are all awesome, just listen.”Urban Elements, The vanguard of young jazz musicians from two continents are getting down to business in the eclectic new group Urban Elements. The collaboration between the most up-and-coming players from Chile/South America and Sweden/Europe creates new flavours of modern jazz in a mixture of hardcore be-bop, organic fusion, latin-jazz, funk and contemporary grooves.”
I have recently started a new collaboration with The Fanclub and it´s been amazing. Everything I´ve done so far is kept a secret until monday, I will say no more…The Urban Elements album is now finally off to printing and pressing allthough the master has disapeared mysteriously. The album will be released as soon as we have found it, Fredrik Kronkvist at Connective Records that is, and then I will show you the artwork. We just love it.
Finally, the wedding in Chianti between my friends Itamar and Nora was insane. Luckily I could not keep my trigger finger away from the camera. Well some parts of the document can not ever be public but I say we had a marvellous evening and night. As theese guys continued the celebration I took a nightly walk home accross the hillside and felt the warm night air from the Tuscan woods. As the moon was shining so intense I could see my way home without no lights at all, there were shadows from the trees. Wow, I think this was one of the best moments of my trip, I´m sure it was…
Chianti in late September. The morning sun burns and the night is warm. The moon lightens the landscape. The harvest of grapes started when I was about to leave but I got the opportunity to hear their voices, the people in the small slopes chatting and joking. I also saw a basket full of ice cold bottles of water lying in the shadow of an olive tree. Can you imagine the thirst I felt at that moment?
Last week I was commissioned back to Milan for the Aigner fashion show shooting as usual and it was amazing, check it out. The weather was rainy almost the whole week exept for Friday when I took a walk in the sun after the show. I really enjoy that. The show was great and perfect for me with a long and slow catwalk which meant a lot of time to make pictures and have fun. I love it and I love my family at at Aigner who were all there.
There were also some late nights at the Damato studio with my friends editing, chatting, drinking good wine and eating some amazing pastas.
After this I took off to Toscana for the wedding of my friends Itamar and Nora but that´s another story…
