Le Ballon Rouge

不曉得看了幾遍侯孝賢的紅氣球之旅（2007）Le voyage du ballon rouge...... ，熟悉的城市色彩，熟悉的街道氣味，熟悉的神經質空氣被隔絕在狹窄的樓梯間..膨脹....膨脹.....膨脹.....
這是52年前（1956）法國導演Albert Lamorisse所執導的Le Ballon Rouge.... .. . .. . ...............
Cherry Coloured這裡有對這部電影的分享

Ball lighting

好幾年前自己作的燈飾，不是我的idea，是看見Marie Claire Maison上這個美麗的燈造型，自己找了材料，先將乒乓球上了色，再一顆顆用針線串起來的。亮個相，別辜負了自己的細心與辛苦....哈！

I made this ball lighting by my self many years ago.....Just like it!

Nicole Dextras.....這個我在Designers' block發現的藝術家....Nicole Dextras取材自春.夏.秋.冬，創造出不可思議的視覺及觸覺的顛覆體驗，你嘗試過將冰凍過的洋裝穿在身上嗎？那件剛剛解凍可還覆著一層冰霜的洋裝摸起來是怎樣的觸感？我很好奇？作者告訴我可以到她的Flickr相簿...mamzellenix去看看她的一些雪地裝置作品與其創作過程，的確，又給了我另一次震撼..........
除此之外，這位才華洋溢的藝術家還有很多籠罩在奇異氣氛當中的攝影作品；還有取材春天的自然材質的服裝作品.......她的作品，給了我一個妙不可喻的夢境體驗！
