Ghost City

Two ghost buildings nearby the central station in Oslo. The ghosts are reflections of the Radisson SAS building and Postgirobygget. The picture is taken on my way to the office, crossing the pedestrian bridge connecting the area of Grønland with the new Barcode area downtown. A recommendable place.

The Return

It´s springtime, and the birds are returning from Africa. I´m actually not returning from Africa, but I might be planning a return to cyberspace and upload some NAIve stuff/information, on a more regular basis.

In Your Face

I´m not exaggerating when I say I´ve had enough of the palettes d´hiver. I want colors. So I googled them. Hopefully Nature will catch up with this computer screen in a short while. In the meantime: Enjoy!

Kahn, Louis

Louis Kahn´s post-traced glasses says: Hello.

On The Road

Jack Kerouac (right) and Neal Cassady (left...obviously), posing in front of a camera, somewhere in the United States, probably in the late 40´s. I´m reading "On the road" by Mr. Kerouac at the moment, a semi-autobiographical novel with the two men above featuring as characters. It is a recommendable book indeed, and one of the best known examples of Beat literature. I´ve never read any Beat literature before, but I guess I´m in for a ride...literary speaking.

B Boys

Last time I visited Denmark, B-boy showed me this music video, must say, interesting stuff. Them standing in line, dressed in their best good-boy-outfit, looking frightened light of the camera, singing high-pitched tunes is my favourite part. You don´t see artists do that every day. The song: Don´t worry baby

Living Small

This is my "apartment". It´s not big, in other words, small (320 x 640 cm. to be precise). 1) table area: eating, drinking, reading, computer, etc. 2) table area: cutting mat, Luxo lamp = bright light, knife, pencil, etc. aka. work 3) all my clothes in a closet 4) "Billy" from IKEA (shoes, tools, jackets) 5) tiny kitchen 6) String shelf library + record player 7) "bedroom" 8) bathroom 9) 3 windows 10) hallway 11) entrance 12) one of my homies 13) stool inherited from my Grandma with "A New Nature" on top.

Color Plan

This is part of the city Beni Isguen in the Sahara desert seen from above. It looks like someone chopped of all the roofs and a world of interior design appeared. B e a u t i f u l. The photographer is a guy named George Steinmetz (I re-shot the image from a magazine, surprise: the original is thousand times better). He has been busy flying: Steinmetz

Ra ll + Kon-Tiki

Last Saturday The Kon-Tiki Museum was visited, it was almost like travelling back in time. The exhibition was probably mounted in the 60s and has never seen change since then. The choice of colors and means of presentation is amazing. The below-surface-space underneath the Kon-Tiki raft (area with the big black whale shark) is the most charming place I´ve been in a long time, with it´s naïve representation of life in the ocean (...naïve, as always, in a good way). I´m a fan.

The route through the museum introduce you to the high-lights of Thor Heyerdahls magical wonders of natural science; Ra ll, Tigris and Kon-Tiki. To have a watch: Kon-Tiki

My Homies

A couple of Aaltos from a couple of private Santas just arrived in my tiny apartment. I guess they are what you may call fashionable late since Christmas was last year. When I first saw them I had a flashback-moment to a certain basement in the heart of Tokyo, where I used to spend 10 ass-pain-hours a day on a similar kind (only white). Atelier Alvar.

(The man in the shop was Danish (He arranged a Tour de Lamps for my mom and me, the guy knew a whole lot about lamps, let me tell you). Second flashback-moment: Denmark I miss you!)
