Pretty Flamingo

PrettyFlamingo

This photo reminded me so much of the song “Pretty Flamingo”. It was written by Mark Barkan and first performed by Manfred Mann in 1966. I can not listen to it any more since I was on hold for a very long time trying to reach a big company in Austria.

Life Ball 2013

Champagne

As tonight the Life Ball 2013 takes place here in Vienna, I want to pay homage to the people who fought the exclusion and stigmatization of individuals suffering from HIV or AIDS. This year’s fashion show is brought to you by Roberto Cavalli, who was among the first designers to show at the annual ball.

Love – Faith – Hope

The Paradise Trilogy by Michael Seidl tells the story of three female family members, who spend their vacations apart. The first part shows the protagonist as sex tourist in Kenya (Paradise: Love). The second part deals with a Catholic missionary (Paradise: Faith) and the third with a teenage girl in a diet camp (Paradise: Hope). For Paradise: Love Seidl received the Special Prize of the Jury at the International Film Festival of Venice in 2012.

For his exhibition ‘Love – Faith – Hope’ at Bawag P.S.K. Contemporary Michel Seidl selected particularly striking stills from his trilogy and had them printed on paper.
