" Shadowplay " at Louis Vuitton

In a unique event organized in cooperation with Louis Vuitton, German artist Hans-Peter Feldmann will be showcasing his famous light installation "Shadowplay" on a screen in front of the new Louis Vuitton Maison in Munich's former Residenzpost building. From November 19 and well into the next year, the art project will be on display for the public from dusk onwards.
In Hans-Peter Feldmann's work Schattenspiel ( Shadow Play, 2002), the artist places found toys, souvenirs, ornaments, household objects on slowly revolving platforms. Simple spot lamps project their shadow cyclically spinning around across the back wall. The figurines weave in and out of each other in perpetually shifting combinations, creating a magical world of shadows. Feldmann uses simple tricks to manipulate the found objects and give them a new life.
The original artwork itself is presented at the Pinakothek der Moderne as part of the artist's exhibition from November 19 2010 to February 2011. It was filmed in advance to be displayed on the outdoor screen of the new Louis Vuitton Maison.
Feldmann is widely recognized for his conceptual approach to books, photography, found images and other material.

Amazing Window Displays

Like the best advertising and the best art, the windows' statements are nothing if not memorable. Some displays are legendary for their artistry, detail and sly visual jokes.
Here is a selection of  elaborate and spectacular window displays.

Ostrich eggs at the Louis Vuitton store in London. Every few days a new egg is hatched revealing a new shoe, accessory or watch. Very clever !

It took six years to create this one, vintage and miniature mannequins at Bergdorf Goodman in New York.

" Little Red Riding Hood " is the theme for the Hermes store in Ginza , Japan.

Very different from the Ginza store, Hermes -Melbourne window displays feature black cardboard cutouts silhouettes and trompe-l'oeil paper bookshelf.

The whimsical window displays at Bloomingdales NY, that coincided with the opening of  Tim Burton's film "Alive in Wonderland" in March.

Skulls and stuffed animals on the window displays of this strange and weirdest store, The Last Tuesday Society in London.

Louis Vuitton: Out of Africa

Another beautiful ad campaign..... Ready to go on a safari with the latest Louis Vuitton campaign that was shot in Africa with model Dree Hemingway (Ernest's great-granddaughter). The catalogue made for Louis Vuitton 2010 Travel Collection is simply superb with a lovely setting, tents, lion cubs, campfires and sunset..... It has it all !!
