Postcards from Syria by Christian Kneise

Christian Kneise, a Germany-based photographer, released a series of photos taken back in 2008 named Postcards from Syria.

Writing about the series Kneise stated: “In 2008 I had the chance to visit Syria. At this time I didn’t know that this trip will be one of the most remarkable journeys for me (so far). What I saw during my visit was a land with extremely hospitable people, a great culture and a rich history. Though, I witnessed a state keeping its people (including us) under permanent surveillance. Eleven years later the country is deeply divided, the infrastructure and many areas are in ruins, the economy and the historic heritage is bombed to the ground. Hundreds of thousands people lost their lifes, millions had to leave the country – a devastating human tragedy. Some landmarks and urban areas shown here are vanished forever. I keep them here as postcards from Syria.”

Review: Love, Death & Robots (2019)

Review: Love, Death & Robots (2019)

Netflix’s new anthology series highlights the impressive development in animation from all around the world.

David Fincher and Tim Miller (the mind behind Deadpool) bring us Love, Death & Robots, a series of short animated episodes from various people and studios around the globe. With each episode telling a different story, they never relate to one another except in its themes of love, death, and robots.

All 18 episodes have a unique style of animation that brings distinctive direction and creative cinematography. The series is not for the faint-hearted, with the majority of episodes featuring crude language, gory violence, and nudity. At less than twenty minutes per episode, this is a series that can easily be binged or enjoyed every now and then.

With that, Netflix is the perfect place for this show – no British or American network would ever accept a show like this. With Netflix busting out an original series every three seconds it’s overwhelming to search through and find something to watch, but this show is rare and remorseless and cannot be matched anywhere else.

All episodes are great fun to watch, and with each story containing different plots and subjects, we get a brilliant mix of blood splattering horror, clever twisted storylines, unapologetic humour, emotional punches and a unique way of looking at yoghurt. The detail of the various animations is beyond impressive and shows how far the medium has come in just a few years; I would not be surprised if we soon get feature-length films from these studios and I, for one, would welcome that.

Personal favourite episodes:

  • Three Robots
  • The Witness
  • When the Yogurt Took Over
  • Good Hunting
  • The Secret War

At Night 7 by Andreas Levers

Andreas Levers, a German-based photographer, released the seventh night series back in 2018 named At Night 7. The series utilises street light to reflect the dynamic and foggy atmosphere of the place.

Writing about the series Andreas Levers stated: “These photos were taken in Potsdam and Berlin on November 24th 2018.​​​​​​​ While I don’t comment on the hardware used usually, I have to make an exception here. Adding the Olympus 12-100 zoom changed the the workflow entirely. By combining the integrated stabilizer of the lens with the one in the camera body I was able to get sharp shots around 1/2s, even at longer focal lengths. Not having to carry around a tripod was liberating.”
