Andreas Golder, your funny.

Hahahha. Okay, towards the end you can tell hes drunken some beer. Fucking hilarious, I love it.

Talking about how one of his small paintings is basically made out of trash and is sold for big money. Gotta love contemporary art like that sometimes. This truly made me laugh and sympathize with him.

I just love Gerhard Richter. And such a modest man.

A friend just sent me this. How cute.

Changes....

I really like the concept of this video. In the end, it actually has a bit of that apocalyptic touch with the whole 2012 disastrous things will happen the the world don't be like it was before aka forget about the corporates being the big ones anymore and money will not be a priority anymore as we find ourselves desperately searching for food and a light source....something along those lines. Im most probably reading too much into, but I do think the content of the video touches on this in a way.

Anyways. I always enjoy a bit of destruction in videos, with some slow-motion and poetic music. I like the concept, but the video could be a bit better I think.

And what is the fashion about then? The bit we saw did look like business suit style, or am I missing out on a subtle difference which portrays this changed man of Western commercial society? I did not have a look at the website of the designer yet, but I do think its important that a fashion video shows enough to reveal what the collection is about. But then again...it can also be abstract. I guess thats something interesting to have a think about!

What really do we expect/want in a fashion video?
There don't really seem to be any rules. Which is a good thing! But then again, shouldn't a fashion film help us understand what the fashion and brand are about?

Ha Ha. Awesome.

I love this video so much, its so hilarious. How epic is a) the fact that hes wearing Pink Floyd worn out boxer, and then b) the scene where he gleefully shakes his hips and she (blondie, sorry don't know her name) slightly gives a lustful look (wrong interpretation?). I love the side angle in this shot.
Anyways, Die Antwoord are quite some characters. Haha. And I love the interviewing parts too.
Simply, short and great!
