A university lecturer’s elderly father pays a prostitute to leave her profession and live with him, then accidentally kills her, kicking off a series of events with the only common link being those implicated attempting to do one good dead. The university lecturer attempts to find the prostitute’s estranged daughter, who is at the same time being chased by authorities in different countries because of her political activities. Set in Germany and Turkey, and told in several languages, this is a truly international film that focuses on a search for meaning and purpose in an otherwise mundane existence. The scenery plays a central role in the many quiet scenes, often conveying intense emotions. While difficult to watch, this is a film that is not easily forgotten, making it both powerful and beautiful.

The Andreas Binder gallery in Munchen, Germany, is showing an exhibition of works by the artist Tina Berning. In her latest series, she investigates the connections between conditioned aesthetics and individual self-determination. Captured on found paper, Berning liberates what is locked inside the frozen masks of the lifestyle and consciousness industry. She creates both a subjective and critical view of the human body, its shortcomings, and its basic affinity for beauty. Streaks of color are laid over fine outlines, bodies fall, spots and spaces overlay the transparent characters. The exhibition runs between January 23rd and March 7th. Read more

Since the beginning, architects have been faced by the challenge of housing the ever unpinnable idea of music. The challenge here is the Elbe Philharmonic Hall in Hamburg, Germany. Basel-based architects, Herzog and de Meuron have created an ephemeral glass tent-like structure perched on top of an existing heavy modernist abandoned warehouse. The warehouse will be composed mainly of parking and back of house, while the glass structure incorporates concert halls, restaurants, bars, apartments and a luxury hotel. Clearly, this is a tremendously exciting alteration and addition to an existing site and building, with this new ice sculpture reflecting the surrounding changing environment and the soaring notes within. Completion is scheduled for 2010.

I’ve yet to find out what they put in the water in Germany that generates such a consistently rich stream of good electronica. Carrying the torch at the moment is Hendrik Weber, aka Pantha du Prince, whose early 2007 release, This Bliss, landed on my doormat with a deep bass-kick and hasn’t left my iPod since. Read more

The projects that self-taught German designer Heiko Windisch works on are varied, but his graphic illustration style remains unified, refreshing in the often jack-of-all-trades illustration business. He creates 2D and 3D art and sculptures called Dioramas for exhibitions, magazines, books, CD sleeves, T-shirts and print. Read more

Our favourite online pooch supply boutique — Dogs Department — recently released items from their Spring-Summer 2008 range, and they’re as cheery and well made as we’ve come to expect from the Amsterdam-based company. Our particular weakness is for the ‘ultra warm and soft fleece turtle neck sweater’ which is ‘accented with silver embroidery and leash hole’. Hmmm, which discerning puppy wouldn’t want one of these? Pooch not included with orders …
It’s hard to find a misstep on the full-length debut from Melbourne band, Children Collide. The Long Now doesn’t sound like a first album: its mature, yet completely varied sound and lyrical concept makes it feel like something you’d expect from a band on their third or fourth album (you know, after the ‘cursed’ second album). Children Collide are most definitely in control, something that could have been lost while working with big-name producer, Dave Sardy. It’s rare that you pick up a CD and feel like the band has decided on everything, right down to the artwork that encases their killer album. We threw guitarist-singer Johnny Mackay a few questions about how they managed to wrap everything up in such a … errr … tight little package. Read more

Is the soul colored or is it black and white? I find this quite confusing, since I believe that a colored soul is necessary for producing colored things. But then again, I’m sure that true color often comes from the deepest broken, damaged and divided black of one’s soul. Digital Jacklight is a mission to try and find out.
I have known Hayden for almost twenty years. He has always released quality music and that is why he can wait four years between releases and his fans are still there. His latest album — In Field & Town — went straight into heavy rotation in our home and I think will extend his fan base further than even he might like.
Printed on the softest of black v necks, Nous gardons le coeur in French roughly translates to: ‘We will not lose heart’. The tag also says: ‘We will not lose heart’. Because we won’t.
