Transratfashion by Brody and Paetau

Transratfashion custom-made fashion accessories. 5 pieces of fake Chanel fashion accessories made out of taxidermised rats: a rat-bra, a rat-slip, a rat-handbag, a rat-handkerchief and a pair of high heel rat-shoes. The interview at VICE: quote [Kristofer Paetau and Ondrej Brody's TransRatFashion first appeared in our Tidbits section, but we figured only a fairly unique pair of minds would want to spend their time creating fake Chanel bikinis from rat bodies and have them modeled by Brazilian transvestites who then masturbate on them].

Rania Matar: A Girl and Her Room

Rania Matar - A Girl and Her Room quote [This project is about teenage girls and young women at a transitional time of their lives, alone in the privacy of their own personal space and surroundings: their bedroom, a womb within the outside world].

Jo Schwab Photography

quote [Jo Schwab lives in Berlin. His portraiture is the antithesis of the generic, passive insipid nude. His meticulously chosen models emanate soul – piercing gazes down the lens, poetic awkwardness and poignant strength].

Michelle-Aimée Photography

LINK quote [Now I know that I cannot live without my two passions: Photography and Medicine. Because both are all about human beings. Every day I try to combine living as a doctor with living as an artist and I do it with lots of love].

Jessica Harrison Artwork

HomePage quote [The things I make are about the body: the body in space, the space within the body and the space in-between the two. The body is something we all share in one shape or form, the filter through which we all experience the world around us and the objects in front of us].

Ana Teresa Fernandez Artwork

HomePage - Electric Works quote [“My work consists of paintings, which derive from a postmodern strategy of staged, photo-documented performances. My paintings, depicting women engaged in everyday domestic chores, confront labor and power. Of what use is a woman’s body? As a young girl growing up in Mexico, I learned at an early age about the double standard imposed on women and their sexuality...].

Elvis Di Fazio Photography

Blog - MySPace quote [Bright and ballsy, Di Fazio’s photos flash with kitsch erotica – a tongue slowly swirling in cheek. Di Fazio’s style has quickly unfurled, dancing from precise and emotive portraiture with a classic bent to something distinctly modern in its appeal].

Sandra Torralba Photography

LINK quote [I had for a while a long statement that attempted to explain who I am and why do I do what I do. It made sense to write it. I had just turned my life upside down: I abandoned my job and profesional career to become a photographer and moved back to my hometown after 4 years abroad. I needed to understand and make sense of my life to whistand the vertigo and the trepidation I was experiencing].

The Surreal World & Art of Christopher Leach

LINK quote [Well my life has been a little bit like that, anyway my artistic life certainly has. Instead of a shiny strange coloured pebble my charm has been the tiny innocent idealized girl's face that often follows me from drawing to drawing. I think I first met her in a Picasso drawing of 1919 entitled 'Italian Peasants' when I was trying to find a way to draw faces. She has taken many guises because for me she has become the mysterious women of my art].
