Dreams in Photographs

Øystein Sture Aspelund est un photographe norvégien. Dans sa série intitulée « Awake » il met en image les rêves scientifiques, les découvertes et les mystères parfois suscités par l’imagination. C’est pourquoi certains clichés paraissent irréel et d’autres empreints de réalité tout en laissant une grande place à l’évasion de celui qui les contemple.

To be a part of, and not apart

A letter to the Editor

From Adbusters #120: Manifesto for World Revolution PT.III

I sat in a typically rainy New England parking lot for about 2 hours,

as my girlfriend shopped in a rather large thrift store. The shopping plaza looked imposing for sure. There were people everywhere, they seemed less imposing, just folks going about their lives. I sat in my car reading a book, mostly. I couldn’t help but look up periodically as I read. I kept hearing footsteps in the distance. I also noticed the nuances of life apparent, as people bought their children second hand bikes, clothing, etc… it all seemed so American and non-threatening. I went back to flipping through my Livro, when I heard a knock at my window. I wasn’t startled, just pleasantly surprised. It was a Spanish lady, maybe 34 or so. I asked her what was up, she smiled and said that she needed money to buy food for her and her young son, who I didn’t see. I did what I usually did and handed her a couple crumpled one dollar bills and some pocket change. I give people money here and there. I don’t care what they use it for, hopefully it does something down the line. She thanked me and I told her no problemo. Sometime later, this well dressed man and his blond female companion walked up to my car. The man asked me if I had a wife or girlfriend, I replied yes. My first thought was to ask what they were getting at. They replied that they were selling some make up products at a greatly discounted rate. I said I’d have to pass on it and they were off. I went back to reading my bullshit, but I kept thinking about my experiences in that parking lot. I greatly enjoyed observing the people in the parking lot, but I really dug interacting with them even more.

Hot Dog, It’s Time To Grill

It’s July 4th weekend. I’d like to focus on hot dogs for a minute. Hebrew National (owned by ConAgra) is a brand of dogs I like to eat. Because the dogs are Kosher, the brand has a built-in story, but sadly none of that comes through it in the following spot. Instead, we have an […]

Volvo Trucks "Million Ways to live" (2015) 3:52 (Sweden)

This is a video for “Million Ways To Live,” by Mapei, a Swedish American singer. But it’s also the finale of Volvo Trucks’ web series #realityroad. To make the video, Mapei rode in a Volvo truck driven by Jens Karlsson who also drove the truck during Epic Split.
The song’s bouncy and catchy but the video looks like an adidas Originals spot but with an Equestrian team thrown in for good measure.

Nike "Yoga" (2015) :35 (The Netherlands)

As part of Nike Woman’s global #betterforit campaign, this ad was created for the Russian market. In it, we hear the inner thoughts of the women whose snide remarks are telling them to give up. But they never do.
This yoga pose is cringe-worthy. Mad respect for that.

Russian Translation:

Inner Voice: Okay, are you mental? If you want to feel good, just go for some retail therapy or the beauty salon.
(on phone:) You have one minute to go.
Her voice: Yeah, maybe. But there are some things you can’t fake.

Nike "Long jumper' (2015) :30 (The Netherlands)

NIke Women’s global #betterforit campaign has launched in Russia. In it we hear the inner thoughts of women trying to psyche themselves out of continuing their sport. Playing off the stereotypical things women would do instead, i.e. mud mask in the salon vs getting dirty on a muddy run. This spot features gold medalist long jumper Darya Klishina.

Russian Translation
Inner voice: If you wanted a mud mask, you should have tried the spa.
Her voice: Sometimes you’ve got to get dirty if you want to shine.
