KENNY PILCROW

“Talent is like riding a bike. 

If the bike is crappy, you can go ahead, but only with a good bike you can go far”, says Kenny, smoking a cigarette in front of Tabo Store, here in the centre of Desenzano del Garda, Italy. 

Kenny is Kenny Pilcrow, a young Canadian photographer better known as “Savon”. Actually, he’s in Italy to do what photographers, as every artist, do: to find inspiration. 
On a cold march day, we meet; wrapped in his jacket, Kenny is friendly and approachable, well-disposed to talk about his life without any reluctance. 

“When I was 18 years-old, I had been given my first camera by my father and that marked the beginning. I started taking pics of anything I saw: places, houses and doors too”, he laughs. “couple years later, I ended up in a commercial photography program . 
It taught very few  technical feature i was already conscious about . Firstly, you must have “something”, and that comes up from your soul”. 

 

BARBARA BOZZINI

RESEARCH IS MY BREATH

By Chris Spain

If you think of Barbara Bozzini you have to think of two colours and one choice. “There’s black and there’s white. There’s a space between them you can never walk through. Black means mere shadow, white means immense light. People usually believe these colours are related to the idea of good and evil. It’s wrong. In the dark you can’t see, but sometimes even light is strong enough to make you feel blind.

It’s a choice. The choice of going ahead without knowing what you will find”.

When Barbara talks, she uses to breath deeply and make long pauses like she’s always trying to find the right word, the perfect circle to contain an idea as a verse of a poem.

Research is her motto and it deals with her many jobs and identities. She’s the chief of a public relations agency, Bozzaproject. But she’s also a graphic designer, a creative director, a digital retoucher, a performer. In a nutshell, an artist. These different activities live together under a universal inspiration. “My passions, that are my jobs, coexist in different spaces which evolve together. Business structure got us used to believe that passion is not linkable to job, and this is a dramatic idea.

You should always try to destroy limits, looking for something new. Without research you die, you cannot live under strict tenets. You gotta breath; stand still like you’re in stagnant water it’s not the right way to do it”.

|| ANFRACTUOUS DISTORTION ||

LEON EMANUEL BLANCK’s new project, called 

ANFRACTUOUS DISTORTION 

was created by ignoring regular pattern making methods. While developing this collection, Leon solely used larger pieces of fabric and formed them directly on the human body. During the forming process, normal seams were completely ignored - this resulted in atypical silhouettes that showcase extremely unique and complicated patterns. 

Every piece in the collection was shaped using this method with some of the pieces being constructed into sculptures using a 

process adapted from naval architecture.

All garments are handcrafted in Germany.
