Look At This Photograph

It's been a long long while (nearly two years?!) since anything that resembles a favourites list has been uploaded so I thought that it's about time for another. You would've thought my tastes would have changed a bit since the last one but it appears I'm still riding the brightly coloured and borderline y2k vibes.

Anna Dobos

'Wetware' by Anna Dobos, 2014

Although shot fairly recently - you can tell this photo series is obviously heavily influenced by the y2k futurism aesthetic by the style of eyewear, wet look hair and highlighting and the metallic blue tones. The yellow hair wefts have me itching to go down the afro hair shop to buy myself some extensions.

UNIF Kit Dress

The new UNIF kit dresses are nothing short of a surfer babe's wet dream. Unfortunately for me the last and only package I ever ordered from them got lost in the post and never arrived so I daren't try again, fingers crossed for it making an appearance on ASOS sometime soon. Variations on the site include one in blue and another in yellow.

Carly Rae Summers' Shoot Set

Pornography isn't usually my source of inspiration but this great set with the model pink flamingos, gaudy forest backdrop and the is totally doing it for me. It's taking a lot of willpower not to spend all my money fake grass carpet to cover my bedroom floor right now.

Coco Layne

If you're bored of your mates' awful Facebook statuses of chicken nugget dinners then you'll probably feel a bit more refreshed after feasting your eyes on Coco Layne's phantasmagorical food photography. That is unless you never want to see another food pic ever again, in which case I am sorry but your friends need to learn a recipe or two.

David LaChapelle

My forever favourite <3

Von Dutch

My ultimate find on Depop was this amazing Von Dutch patchwork jacket and after haggling the price down some lucky fucker swooped in and bought it before me. Hopefully I can bag myself something similar soon before I end up getting one of those ridic trucker caps. 

Parker Day

Another case of the backdrops and bright colours. Each of Parker Day's stills are a portrait of a different eccentric character and going through their Instagram makes me want to crack out the dress up box and spend hours doing my makeup. Be sure to check out their latest foot series 'Footwear For Foot Fetishists' on Polyester.

Tayler Smith

Look at this majestic canine friend, look how happy it is, if we lived in an equally magical maybe my face would be plastered with a grin that wide too. All of their photography is an absolute treat but Tayler Smith's meticulously curated feed for Othen is worth more than all the Instagram goals combined.

MTV's LiLi

Back in the 2000s, vivacious virtual VJs and 3D rendered cyberbabes were all over everything. In a collaboration with Sony Ericsson, MTV Asia launched the interactive cybernaut LiLi at the start of the new millennium. Viewers could call in and talk to their host in real time and have her take their music video requests. Have a look at the rest of the LiLi stuff over on Behance.

Molly Soda at Annka Kultys

Here are a few pics from net artist Molly Soda's debut exhibition at the Annka Kultys gallery in Bethnal Green that I recently visited on my last trip back down to London. 

Climbing the stairs into the space, you could hear audio of the artist crying and it was almost as though she was trapped inside this pink bubble. Walking round the room was a lot like being in a dystopian fiction where the protagonist has had multiple experiences trapped inside a container and you're going through their memory library trying to understand their life.

One video saw Molly trawling through a pile of roses, continuing the "he loves me, he loves me not" rhyme with phrases that presumably relate to a past relationship of hers. Another - the one with the sobbing - played from a seemingly broken monitor screen. There were also various lip sync videos scattered around on iPhones and iPads.

The gallery owner mentioned to me that each piece was priced according to the amount of views the particular moving image had amounted online and that they came on their own memory stick hand decorated with plastic gemstones by the artist herself. Unfortunately it's no longer open to the public, however you can watch all the videos featured here on Molly's YouTube channel. 

I need more plants and beanbags in my house.

Lol it me
