Danish Cinema

I try to catch up on as much Danish culture as possible be it music, film and fashion. I’m always curious ot see what the new and the old are up to. I’m especially interested in the film industry since I moved to Los Angeles to make films. It’s 2 years ago now. Before that I was in NYC.

I’ve never really felt at home in Denmark. I hate Danish food, I detest the weather and loath the ‘jantelov’, which in my point of view has kept aspiring spirits down through decades.  And now, with the right wing government that has gone even more right wing since i left the nest Denmark has gone from an idealistic Oasis to a ‘nice’, predictable, self centered and very expensive country with, in my opinion, a really sad future if we do not vote differently next time. What happened to idealism? What happened to long term thinking?

Anyways…  I’m so happy to state, that I’m extremely proud to be Danish when it comes to film and filmmakers. Especially when I watched this film ‘Applause’. I first heard about it a year ago when I met the producer Mikael Rieks at a meeting with the production company Koncern in Copenhagen. I wanted to sharte a script with him and he told me about his new film, which was about to go into festivals.

Right after our meeting he got so busy traveling because Applause won award upon award. And I can see why. The female lead Paprika Steen is an amazing actress, but with this film she cements her star status firmly and internationally. Her performance is stellar in an even better written story.  And the styling and scenography is beautiful. OMG! I totally missed Copenhagen, good taste and the old beautiful apartments in my hometown. That’s peobably the first time I felt like that in 5 years. hmmm….. anyways, please take a peak for your self…

J’adore

Love the simplicity of this (fake?) tattoo that I stumbled upon somewhere. That really has to hurt though!

That’s a whole lot of hair!

Around The Camera

Tonight Tanya & I was doing a shoot with artist Aaron Axelrod. Aaron is a super talented and very fast up and coming young artist who lives here in Hollywood. His work shows from Paris to LA and Aaron is represented by the same art gallery as legendary David LaChapelle. So if you don’t know Aaron by now check out his work. No doubt, he is going to be huge.

So what was the shoot about? Well basically about having a good time, party, chill and see where the mood would take us… and well… it took us places…. ha haha. These are just random ‘behind the scene shots’ and ‘around the camera shots’. Next week Aaron will make selections and then start painting the ones he likes.

check it out:

Its sunday evening, I’m listening to Jacques BrelNe Me Quitte Pas and drinking peppermint tea. I’m so tired tonight. I think I’ll watch the movie “From Paris With Love” and then go to bed.

…When Art Stings Beautifully…

Ann Gustava

When I was in Copenhagen in May I experienced this young, drop dead gorgeous female artist with a surreal and morbid yet beautiful  take on the world that surprised, seduced yet repulsed me. (Her art did – that is ;-)….)

Her name is Ann Gustava, born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark. She has a history as a model, designer and is a true European ‘IT-girl’ splitting her base between London and Copenhagen. Today she works mainly with photography and illustration.

KK: What is your biggest inspiration?

AG: I find my biggest inspiration in film. I’m a huge David Lynch fan. I work with certain atmospheres and my pieces take form from there.

KK: What is your method?

AG: I only do my collages in hand. I don’t use photo shop like many people think. I shoot my backgrounds and motives with my Canon D5 and put them together in a new context after wards.

Ann Gustava presents “Men in the Dark” during the Copenhagen Photo Festival 2010. If you are around you should definitely make it your business to see her work.
