tapio snellman: elsa 0

Since 1999 London centred architect and urbanist, Tapio Snellman has mostly been preoccupied with co-running his all-over-the-place disciplinary creative practice, Neutral. The vast experience of producing architecture related media and fetishising over the built environment and its effect on people, has crystallised in video installations and animations, in which architectural space and urban landscape is [...]

a divine image 0

Cruelty has a human heart,
And Jealousy a human face;
Terror the human form divine,
And secrecy the human dress.

The human dress is forged iron,
The human form a fiery forge,
The human face a furnace seal’d,
The human heart its hungry gorge.

the muse 0

Ô muse de mon coeur, amante des palais,
Auras-tu, quand Janvier lâchera ses Borées,
Durant les noirs ennuis des neigeuses soirées,
Un tison pour chauffer tes deux pieds violets?
Ranimeras-tu donc tes épaules marbrées
Aux nocturnes rayons qui percent les volets?
Sentant ta bourse à sec autant que ton palais
Récolteras-tu l’or des voûtes azurées?
II te faut, pour gagner ton pain de [...]
