Luc Deleu. Architect. Artist. Belgium.
Deleu is an Orbanist: "Orbanism is the metaphysical and material arrangement of the world for the commonwealth in the public intrest (...) it is as environment-friendly as possible. Because we have to organize construction in a more and more decreasing natural space, ecology, in fact a global system, must always be the main structural principle of the ongoing orbanization or the conquering of nature by man. The more the globalization is praised, the more a general view of our planet becomes not only obvious but actually indispensable. We are evolving – at least we hope so – towards a world with global people and global institutions, subject to global rights and obligations and bearing global responsibilities." Luc Deleu.

The Sun's Burial. 1960. Nagisa Oshima.
The Sun's Burial is a portrait of Japan's postwar generation. The constant presence of the sun visually represents the idealized image of old Japan - the land of the rising sun- like the national flag-as seen in the movie's poster.

Thomas Kilpper. Artist. London.
Woodcut on fabric.
Woodcut on paper.
The Ring series was a site-specific project created in Orbit House, a series of office building in the London's Southwark. Orbit House was abandoned and scheduled for demolition when Kilpper gained access to the building in 1999. He carved a giant woodcut into the mahogany covering the 10th floor. The woodcut depicted a boxing ring surrounded by an audience of characters whose names were cut (with chisels+chainsaw) around the edge of the image. Kippler used photographs+etchings to create the portraits. He then made this series of prints on new and found materials: old curtains left in the building: advertising hoarding paper and sheets of purple UV polythene film.
The subjects/events of the woodcuts are all related to the location+to Kippler: In the early 1900s it was one of London’s earliest cinemas, it then became a boxing venue, The Ring, and doubled as a soup kitchen, music hall and theatre, hosting productions of Shakespeare. It was also used by Alfred Hitchcock as the set for his silent movie The Ring in 1926.
