Then I found the photographer, whose name I unfortunately can't remember, and discovered that he had depicted one and the same real woman in ever-changing combinations with different animals and post-processing. An idea that made me curious to what extent these kinds of photos could be realised with DAZ Studio...

For the first time I was able to accompany a street art event photographically from the beginning. That was extremely impressive. Documenting this exciting "making off", supplemented by information about art and artists, is my very personal approach to the topic of street art. I used working titles for some of the images because I haven't been able to research all the titles of the artworks yet. The order in which the pictures tell their story also follows. Until then, the images in the gallery are in any order. Since I don't just take photographs but am also interested in the artists, the backgrounds and the little things on the side, I try to get authentic information about the artists and their pictures. I was able to discuss this personally with most of the artists after the event. Thank you very much for that. If I have taken information from the Internet, I have marked it as such. On the one hand, doesn't do "copy & paste" for me_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_ Sense, on the other hand it has something to do with respect for the work of others!. Since this procedure is time-consuming, I will gradually put my reports online as I have the time and leisure. I hope you enjoy the virtual tour of our aging silk weaver house. Completely in the sign of the value and endangerment of nature, seen a little from the perspective of Beuys and here and there with a clear reference to the city of Krefeld. Interpreted and creatively presented by 30 local and international street artists of all ages. It was an exciting, inspiring week for Krefeld. Just drop by from time to time and see which story is new online. :-) Krefeld in July 2021 SC weiter lesen Add comment: (...) Did you like this page/report? I am pleased about your comment :-).

A small picture at St. Antonstr. Easy to miss. But very interesting when you hear about its meaning. Artist info (...) Annotation: Alina's picture was something special for me. Located on St. Anton Strasse, it was completely covered by scaffolding through the company sign. That's why I only became aware of it during the week. All I could see was an intense red color and I couldn't really see anything. Despite all my attempts, I couldn't take any sensible photos of the "making off" with me. Following this action, Alina was kind enough to provide me with detailed information about her painting including some photos. For me, these were insightful conversations with Alina Orav, who is remarkably multilingual with English, Estonian, Italian and Russian. We then agreed in English. I decided to reproduce the conversation 1:1 here in the hope that this would best explain what Alina said about her artwork. I will go into more detail on one or the other in the series of pictures, even if this makes the report a little more extensive. This little work of art deserves it! Especially at heart I want the home page der put. It documents the extreme versatility of the still young artist, who is not only concerned with street art. The title of the picture comes from the artist herself. A very big thank you to Alina for her support. I value that as appreciation for my projects :-). * * * Alina Info Alina Orev to her picture Alina 08/05/2021: As you can see in the last photo - the black frame or border is part of the work. Also the windows of the upper floor continue the black frame... There are portals in other portals that are represented in the architecture of the building. Alina 08/05/21: There is also a precise vantage point from which I can photograph my work. It's across the street from the white footprints. You can also zoom in (depending on the camera). But the important part of the work is also above the painting. I play with the architecture of the existing building. Alina 08/10/21: I admire the geometric architecture of the silk weavers house. The line where the architecture ends and my painting begins is optically merged. The painting continues the architecture. The shape of the building from a bird's-eye view is reminiscent of a step pyramid, which adds a lot of historical context. Following this idea, I have depicted portals within portals on the surfaces of the structure. The painted image can be perceived as a counterpart to the step pyramid. According to Carl Gustav Jung, houses in dreams can represent the psyche of the person who perceives them. In this sense we have reached the inner child - the heart of the building - fragile, immaterial, almost fading into the wall of its heavy, robust, physical, protective concrete temple. * * * Questions to Alina 08/10/21 as a supplement to her explanations Question: Do you have a title for your picture or did I miss it somewhere? ;-) Yes. The title is "Reduplication of input". I interpret the title to mean that Alina fitted her painting into the structure of the building's facade, so to speak, and thus created a new, additional entrance. Question: A remarkably sensitive and thorough explanation of your image. I'll have to keep that in mind a few more times as I edit. I also found it fascinating that your picture was the only one that could only be seen properly after the scaffolding was removed. My feeling is that you hid while painting until everything was finished. I don't think that was on purpose, was it? Alina : Yes, the scaffolding situation was given. It was not planned. I myself first saw the work from the photos when the scaffolding was being dismantled. That's why I would be very happy about photos of the work. Question: Can you also tell me something about what the baby is holding? and what does the red ball a little to the left mean? Alina: "The baby is holding a small blue sphere in his hand. If a tunnel is a void, then a sphere is a round object that can be given different meanings depending on the context. The red ball is set in motion by the handrail of the stairs. The red ball is painted red similar to the child. Therefore, they could be related. They also create horizontal movement in the composition of the painting. The ball that the child is holding is of a similar color to the vertical cavities. Therefore, they too may be related or have a similar origin. The blue parts of the painting (including the blue sphere) create vertical movement in the composition. The sphere could also be interpreted as floating in the air due to its vaporous halo." Question: I heard that you recently became a mother :-). maybe it has something to do with your choice of subject? Alina: "The motherhood experience definitely influenced my decision to paint the child." One more thing about the child: if the building is a dream house, then the baby is a fragment of it. It is a symbol of new beginnings, birth of new ideas and also refers to future human generations. Meanwhile in the context of a human psyche - it could be a movement in the opposite direction - back to our childhood, the encounter with our own inner child. However, if the building is demolished, the baby will symbolize the inevitable passage of time - growing up. Also erasing memories."

Urbexart I Haus der Puppen I Lost Place Photography I Lost Place I Verlassene Orte I Rottenplace I Samara Blue I My Way of Art I Dreamtime Lost Place - House of Dolls return What awaited me in this house of dolls, I wondered all the time on the way there. After some searching we ended up in front of a rather inconspicuous little house on the edge of a country road. In Gedanken hatte ich während der Fahrt einige Bilder vor meinem inneren Auge Revue passieren lassen, die ich bisher im Internet vom "Haus der Puppen" so gesehen hatte. Leicht gruselige "Chucky die Mörderpuppe" Impressionen kamen mir spontan in den Sinn. Beim Näherkommen empfing uns erstmal allgegenwärtiges Chaos. Doch was genau hatten wir erwartet? So, nun standen wir vor der Tür. "Tretet ein ins Haus der Puppen ... Don't think twice, come in, be careful and look. Tretet ein ins Haus der Puppen ... In meiner Freude über einen neuen Lost Place hatte ich ehrlich gesagt so eine Unordnung nicht erwartet. Mein entsetzter Blick fiel in einen schmalen Flur ... ... und ich erkenne beim genaueren Hinsehen tatsächlich eine Puppe. In der Unordnung nicht leicht auszumachen. Ein Puppenjunge, nahezu kopflos, zerbrochen. Die einst liebevoll zusammen gestellte Kleidung schmutzig und verstaubt. "Ich bin der andere, der andere ist ich. Er ist der Spiegel, der es dem Ich erlaubt, sich zu erkenne. Seine Zerstörung zerstört die Menschheit in mir." (De.Jarofquotes.com) Doch diese Worte beantworten auch heute noch nicht meine Frage, warum Menschen ein Haus, das nicht das eigene ist, so zerstören?!? Warum können sie nicht froh sein, dass man einen verlassenen Ort gefunden hat, an dem man verweilen, Fotos mitnehmen und in Erinnerung behalten kann!? Nackt und lieblos in die Ecke gesetzt ... "Als wir noch klein waren, konnten wir es kaum abwarten erwachsen zu werden. Aber jetzt stellen wir fest, dass kaputtes Spielzeug und verlorene Buntstifte viel besser sind als gebrochene Herzen und verlorene Freunde." (FUNPOT.NET) Das Bad, eine einzige Müllhalde ... "Gelegentlich den Kopf zu verlieren ist keine Schande, solange einem der Verstand dabei nicht abhanden kommt." (Metropolis) Unter Unrat und zerfetzten Dingen schaute ein niedliches Gesicht hervor. Offensichtlich hatte sich hier ein Bewohner für schöne Bilder interessiert. Am Fuß der Treppe in die erste Etage überlegten wir kurz, ob wir wirklich weitergehen sollten. Hatte uns vielleicht einer der Nachbar gesehen? Würde sich das Waten durch Müll und Unrat noch lohnen? "Je älter ich werde, desto mehr erkenne ich, dass ich keine Lust mehr auf Stress, Konflikte und Dramen habe. Ich brauche gutes Essen, viel Schlaf und Menschen, die mich mögen wie ich bin." (www.istdaslustig.de) Für einen Wimpernschlag blieb mein Blick an liebevollen Deko Details hängen. Verstaub und angeschmuddelt ... Weißt du, dass Puppen die besten Freunde sind? Auch, wenn sie nicht sprechen können, hören Puppen, was du sagst. Und hast du gewusst? Wenn man sie allein lässt in einem Zimmer, dann werden sie lebendig.Lebendig? Ja! Aber wenn wir plötzlich rein kommen, sausen sie blitzschnell wieder auf ihre Plätze. Aber wieso werden sie nicht lebendig, wenn wir dabei sind? Wenn wir sie sehen können? Weil es wie Magie ist. Man muss an Magie glauben, damit magische Dinge passieren können." - aus "Little Princess" Recht unterschiedliche Interessen schienen die Bewohner gehabt zu haben. Einsam, verlassen, unwichtig geworden ... Ohne Worte ... "Ich rede bisweilen mit Menschen so, wie das Kind mit seiner Puppe redet: Es weiß zwar, daß die Puppe es nicht versteht, schafft sich aber durch eine angenehme wissentliche Selbstdeutung die Freude der Mitteilung." (Arthur Schoppenhauer) Nachdenklich betrachtete ich diese Puppe mit liebevoll gehäkeltem Kleidchen und stellte mir vor, was die Puppenmutti ihr wohl einmal anvertraut hatte.

He only has a felt blanket and a stick, which he describes as "Eurasian". Beuys' goal was to establish a relationship of trust between himself and the animal, a symbol of reconciliation between man and nature, but the work can also be read in a political sense, as a rite of reconciliation between modern-day Americans and their persecuted ancestors and imprisoned on reservations, symbolized by the captive coyote. In my work entitled "COYOTE" I wanted to draw a parallel to Beuys' work and his political message: the marginalization of Native Americans. So I saw that things have not improved to this day.... the people who routinely roam this place called "The Silk Factory" are vagabonds, desperate, drug addicts.... Marginalized and forgotten by society, just like the Native American tribes of North America were persecuted and marginalized."

Streetart I Graffiti I OLDHAUS I Kerim Musanovic I Seidenweberhaus I Silk City Gallery I Samara Blue Urbex Art I Kreative Fotografie I Beuys I Hommage an Beuys street art - Oner OLDHAUS/D & Kerim Musanovic/BIH "The Beuys can ... " return Anfang Oldhaus Facebook * Instagram "Art is in crisis. All areas are in crisis." (Beuys) - Artist info(...) Info Oldhaus Artist information Oner OLDHAUS & Kerim Musanovic After it was clear that they would work as a team, the graffiti artist decidedoner OLD HOUSE from Neus andKerim Musanovic from Bosnia-Herzegovina to stage a typical "OLDHAUS can". You see the controversial artist Beuys lying in a transparent spray can in the honey and sleeping peacefully. Anyone who deals with the art of OLDHAUS will find that the spray can is his trademark, his "signature". He is, so to speak, a master of the can, meaning that he likes to arrange the elements he uses in a transparent can. Although he comes from the graffiti direction, he not only works with this can but also uses mixed media. To round off this scenery, OLDHAUS added a few elements or exhibits to his box, which he himself associates with Beuys. For example thechildren's bath (first publicly displayed in 1968 or 1969) , which OLDHAUS says was cleaned by mistake. The unbelievable story about 2 women who wanted to wash glasses in this same tub during an election campaign. It is definitely worth reading them again, no matter what your opinion of these works of art is. In a conversation with an elderly lady the week after completion, I met an elderly couple with whom I enthusiastically shared what I had learned so far . They talked about the different aspects of this picture and the lady said that it was a normal tub. Well, at the time I wasn't sure either and we decided to ask Doc Google. This is how street art works :-). You start a conversation about a picture and experience a few moments of lively exchange of ideas with strangers. I think Beuys would have liked that. I've had a lot. Perhaps some guided tours of these amazing works of art would be a good idea. Even the most inconspicuousTV is full of Beuysian symbolism. In the endless loop "jajajaja" and "neeneeneeneenee" he gives the viewer scope for their own interpretations. Beuys recorded this curious audio installation, which is currently kept in the Pinakothek in Munich, in 1968 in an edition of 100 pieces. Two fundamentally different explanations are provided for this. If you like, you can read more under the above link and maybe find a completely different interpretation of the current zeitgeist or your personal life situation. Here on the back side of the Seidenweberhaus we see a work of art that in many ways makes direct contact with Beuys. On the one hand with the very authentic representation of the artist himself, then with a direct, even physical reference to honey. Its shown at Ducumenta 6 in Kassel in 1977" Honey pump at work " shows an apparatus extending over several rooms, through which 150 kg of honey were pumped through a hose system. In other exhibits, too, honey appears again and again as a theme. Honey is considered life-giving. In his artistic activities he used many unusual objects and materials in order to create lyrical and emotional connections with them. Honey in connection with bees and their queen appear again and again as a theme in his works of art. The bees in Kerim connect directly in the picture with the honey, which is their vital food. But the context for the overall work of art Seidenweberhaus is also created with these insects, among other things. These insects, whose "dwellings" are the honeycombs, the honeycombs that can be seen from afar can also be found on the front of the silk weaver's house. According to OLDHAUS, the quote from Beuys mentioned above was specifically selected by him at this time for this event because it perfectly reflects the current pandemic situation. Annotation: This picture is so self-explanatory that I don't need any excessive attempts at self-interpretation. Here, two experienced artists with different styles and focuses have created a clear and colorful image that attracts and fascinates visitors. Personally, I found the best access to this image by researching some typical Beuys installations on the Internet, relating these findings to the information provided by the artists, and at the same time taking my own perceptions seriously. The only difficulty for me was that you can't just look at this picture completely because of the green vegetation. I'll check back in the winter. I tried out many perspectives with my camera and didn't shy away from lying on my stomach ;-). My intensive way of dealing with this work of art. Thanks guys for this opportunity.

From 2008-2014 he studied design, with a focus on illustration, at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences. In addition to numerous art events and exhibitions in Germany, his art has mainly been seen in Western Europe. Specializing in character design (figurative painting), art drove him to Belarus, where he won a juried, international contest as 1st place in the graffiti category. In 2019, OLDHAUS first came to light as a curator and initiator when he and three other artists created the cross-city Home Street Home Urban Art Festival. His last trip took him to the Queen's Kingdom - he has already exhibited several times in London. In the metropolis he has been represented by the Bickerton Grace Gallery since 2020. In addition to his large-scale graffiti, OLDHAUS also uses mixed media to paint on canvas, on which he likes to process the problems of his synapse chaos.

Silk City Gallery 2021 I Seidenweberhaus I Perspektivwechsel Krefeld I Streetart I Graffiti I Luisa Estrada I Black an White I Blumenstraße I Samara Blue Urbex Art I Samara Blue street art - Luisa Estrada/Mexico "Flower Street - BlackAndWhite " return Anfang Honigwabe Facebook * Homepage * Instagram Luisa Estrada's street looks almost like a city within a city. Simple but concise in black and white, it presents "our flower street". Artist info (...) Anote: Theflower street in Krefeld, Luisa Estrada used a long piece of the facade as a model for her "black and white" design. If you take a look at the corner of Blumenstrasse and Moerser Strasse on Google, you can easily see their exact position. With the silk weavers who worked on their looms in the houses there, she not only creates the connection to the velvet and silk city of Krefeld, but also directly to the silk weaver house. Short interview Luisa Estrada Luisa: "Hello Kerstin, thank you for your interest in my work in Krefeld. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about my painting." I would like to know why you chose the flower street. Luisa: "II was looking for something characteristic of the city, although I don't know Krefeld, I like to work with what I perceive as typical for the respective location from my own perspective. In the cities there are always very typical things, for example in the architecture. This can vary greatly in different countries. Different colors and architectural styles show typical country features. In addition, the individual functionalities are important for the cities. The creativity of the inhabitants of these cities is also reflected there. In this case, while checking Google Maps, I found the Flower Street attractive and interesting and decided to depict it. In the end it stops being that place and the painting becomes a reflection of the city itself, it's decor, a reflection of those who live there." Annotation: This intention surprised me a little. Luisa easily transports a "simple" streetscape into an interesting, decorative work of art and encourages me, as a newcomer to Krefeld, to delve into the history of the city of Krefeld once more. Did you choose the location for the photo yourself? Luisa: "Yes, I found this position suitable for my project." Could you get to know Krefeld a little better? n? Luisa: Not really, just the route that took us from the hotel to the building where we painted. I was looking forward to visiting the Josep Beuys Museum. I like to ask the artists about anecdotes, mishaps, special moments and sometimes what color they paint/spray with. Luisa: Perfect. When you attend events where multiple people work together, everything is an anecdote, every moment becomes relevant and part of that story. At the beginning, when everything starts, you gradually approach others with great curiosity to know who they are and what they do. For me it was the first time I used scissors or a crane. I was a bit nervous but luckily everything went well and I enjoy using this machine. In general, I really enjoyed painting and I was satisfied with the result. I have only painted walls very few times before, so it was a special experience for me to be invited to this event. I used a range of shades of gray for my rendering. I usually work like this when engraving, so I reduced the landscape, which actually had purple colors, to this area. If I understand your answer correctly, your picture has no direct relation to Beuys, does it? Luisa: The picture has something to do with Beuys, maybe a little more far-fetched. I rely on Beuys' statement that anyone can make art. With his social sculpture, he also said that art is a possible tool of social transformation. Under these two premises, I think it is possible and interesting to be able to see your city, your street, your house from a different point of view and/or from a different perspective. In this case from the perspective of the foreigner and from above. Everything is possible, something new, different and maybe even beautiful. So we not only see the same old Krefeld, but the creativity of those who build is in it. Those who inhabit these peculiar and original spaces, the result of an artistic construction. A construction that has formed over time. If we go further and think of a distant future where we may not be anymore but there will still be some ruins, we will see all of this as a reminder of past lives and it will be that the architecture or remains of it at the the end is art." I really like your style in black and white. Someone said you always paint like this. What made you do it? Luisa: "Well, I'm not a real painter. I am an engraver. I engrave on linoleum, foamed PVC, metal etc. . I have painted in public spaces other times, but more than painting, I have made large-scale drawings. I can say that I really painted for the first time in Krefeld. Since I was able to work through the topic in shades of gray that were easily accessible to me, I really enjoyed this exercise." Annotation: I liked this idiosyncratic, classic depiction of the flower street right from the start, when the first outlines were sketched. The black and white representation is so different from the other partially colorful representations. It is amazing and remarkable that the artist does not necessarily come from the street art direction. She gives us Krefeld a piece of Krefeld as art and gives the viewer the freedom to associate this picture with Beuys or simply find it beautiful. Is there a title for your picture? Luisa: "Not really. It could mean "black and white flower street". Source: Luisa Estrada personally Annotation: Finally, a little bit of history about the Blumenstraße in Krefeld. There are probably no reliable findings as to where the flower street got its name from. It is believed that the name refers to the gardens outside the then city walls relates. The street has existed since July 18, 1837. There were several houses with in-house weavers on Blumenstrasse. The importance of home weaving was last seen at the time of the Franco-Prussian War. Poorer weavers from the area moved to Krefeld and urgently needed cheap housing. Among other things, 40 blocks of houses were built on Blumenstrasse between the West Wall and the Ringstrasse. Behind the elaborately decorated facades of the so-called three- or four-window houses were small, open apartments without water and sanitary facilities. 5-9 families are said to have lived so cramped in these houses. Since the weavers needed good light, the looms were placed by the windows. At the beginning of the 19th century, with the advancing industrialization, the importance of home weavers decreased rapidly. A steel mill was built in front of the town and a port was built. Krefeld became an industrial city. A little of the former charm of the Blumenstraße has been preserved in a few listed buildings. Source: WAZ 16.11.2012. Thanks to Wolfgang R. Krefeld for his support in researching Blumenstrasse Info Luisa Artist information Luisa Estrada Name: Maria Luisa Estrada Sanchez (Luisa Estrada) Luisa Estrada is a visual artist based in Mexico City. The inhabitants and everyday life in the big city inspire her. In her work she tries to capture the dynamism and unique character, enormous scale and unnatural landscapes of cities. Luisa favors a graphic technique in which she manually engraves reliefs in PVC material, linoleum and wood and prints them on handmade paper. She studied at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma in Mexico, (UNAM), 2002-2008, and at the National University of Colombia (2005). She received her Masters in Visual Arts from the Academy of San Carlos UNAM in 2012.

But where did the brave knights disappear to almost 20 years ago? And how have you been? Why did they just leave these magnificent rooms? Since just taking photos is usually not enough for me and I'm curious by nature, I started to find out more about this association of men. At the end of 2020 I sent my questions directly to the Schlaraffen here in kr Krefeld by email and received a little surprised, but also very pleased, prompt answer. Continue reading(...) "Et Klöske" - knight's castle in words and pictures Bildeserie sc weiter lesen How I, as a profane* woman, experienced the castle of a men's union. A documentation in words and pictures Slightly irritated, I read the sender of the mail:"Am already@..." . Well, what can I say, the answer was short and clear. They thanked me for my interest in their men's association, gave me the current address, printed in bold to be safe ;-) and told me that they would like to contribute information about their time in the old city baths. Of course everything Corona compliant. Everything seemed very well organized. The "coat of arms and noble marshal",Mr. Klaus Drenk , was immediately taken in cc. Now I have looked at the contact details of the sender, the deputy chairman of Crefeldensis eV."Rochus Kralik Knight of Meyrswalden" - an impressive name and as Doc Google quickly told me, a "real knight". Before the following phone call, my heart was already palpitating. What could I expect from a high-ranking member of a men's association? The concerns were unfounded, as it quickly turned out. An extremely youthful voice talked openly and friendly about the topic "creative men's association" in general and about details from their time in the old Krefeld municipal baths in particular. My photo from the Krefeld Stadtbad with the name boards, from which you can see a section, awakened and touched memories of an obviously good time in this place, says"Knight Binshon" . The panels with these names still remind visitors of the historic swimming pool of the activities of the jolly knights. Here, for example, a "Ritter Brasilio" from Oberhausen once made a donation that was lovingly and creatively documented. After the phone call, we arranged to meet on site. It was supposed to take a few more months before it came about, but in this strange pandemic time it's probably nothing special. We had an appointment together in May 2021 and, once again with palpitations, I packed my photo equipment. At this point it should be mentioned that the focus of this day was not on the photos as expected. The conditions on site were more difficult than expected for my experience in photography and my equipment. Rather, it was the conversation with the three older gentlemen that fascinated me. Not only that they would give me, as a completely unknown female being, a comprehensive insight into their creative work, they also gave me the feeling at all times that they took me and my (photo) project "Men's League" seriously take. That impressed and touched me. A visit to a special place, seen through the eyes of aprofane * Woman. Continue reading: (...) Add comment: (...) Did you like this report?
