From Constantin Brâncuși to Jean Arp, BAR Jewellery’s softly sculptural pieces find their roots in the Modernist greats
Christopher Bucklow is one of the leading figures of the contemporary British 'cameraless' photography movement. His other-worldly photographs of radiant men and women set against grounds of color are made through a complex multi-step process which begins with the artist projecting the shadow of his sitter on a large sheet of aluminum foil and tracing its outline. He then makes thousands of small pinholes in the foil silhouette. Using a contraption of his own device that places the foil over a large sheet of photographic paper, Bucklow then wheels his homemade "camera" out into daylight and pulls the "shutter" to briefly expose the paper to direct sunlight. Thus each finished picture becomes a unique photogram silhouette composed of thousands of pinhole photographs of the sun. The intensity of light on a given day and the length of exposure create unique color variations on how the resulting piece appears. Bucklow's work is held in numerous public collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the High Museum in Atlanta, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Street Photography /2000. Portugal / Analog camera photo / B&W 35 mm film. 400 iso / Gelatin Silver Print Signed, titled, negative date & print date on verso. Ana Maria is visual artist. She had a formal education in Fine Arts. Since 2000 she also is interested in photography and she started by doing theater photography, and informal photography seeking to capture moments of everyday life. She shoots with an analog camera and B&W 35mm film. She considers analog photography to be one of the components of the intellectual honesty of her work. She believes that digital photography, can take some of the photographic fact, given their almost endless possibilities of manipulation. Every fraction of a second contained in her photographs corresponds to a narrative in which words are not enough. It seems that her lens captures states of the soul. The irony is another of her peculiarities, present in most of her photographic work, even when the subject is apparently contrary. Several exhibitions in galleries and public spaces have attracted public attention, allowing expose her work abroad. She holds numerous awards and Grand Prize Winner obtained at prestigious competitions of international photography. Her work is represented in numerous private and public collections, national and international.

D’Aillencourt, Simone (1930 - 2017) “She would have been so proud to be part of this project.” It feels like I’m forever arriving too late. I spent much of the early part of this project researching & interviewing people involved in New York’s fashion scene in the Forties — only to find, when I caught up to Barbara Mullen’s second life in Fifties Paris, that I’d missed out so narrowly on many of her European contemporaries, from Bettina to Elsa Martinelli to Bronwen Pugh. Simone D’Aillencourt should have been the first I’d have tried to track down. Discovered on a trip to London in her mid-twenties, D’Aillencourt ricocheted to the top of her profession, and found success in America just as Mullen was settling into life as a top Paris model. Albert Seeberger, part of the second generation of the Seeberger Frères, proclaimed her their favourite model of all time; for Jeanloup Sieff, she was to the Fifties what Jean Shrimpton would be to the Sixties — ‘the most perfect example of that symbiosis of a personality and a period.’ She soared above the Seine in a glass bubble for Melvin Sokolsky, braved the streets of Rome with William Klein, took tea on Savile Row with Frank Horvat, and raced round Cape Canaveral with Dick Avedon. Although she was only an occasional runway model, she pioneered the ‘geste de Simone’, to deal with Cardin’s unwieldy stoles — a pose that saw the stole slung low from the shoulders, and looped through the right arm (to be teamed, one reported noted, with a ‘gentle, mocking smile’) And she made up for the late start to her career by continuing right to the end of the Sixties, signing off with a spectacular Henry Clarke shoot in India. Even by the standards of the day, there are few interviews with D’Aillencourt; just a fifteen-year run of extraordinary photographs, before she retired and became a successful model agency owner. She died a year before I finally stumbled across her daughter’s contact details. And by then all we could do was have another brief, regretful email exchange. Too late, again. by John-Michael O'Sullivan

Silvio Zangarini was born in Turin in 1981. He is a traveler, photographer, philosopher, and lover of architecture, who has dedicated his life to research. His view of reality guides him in his research and inspires to capture these images in pictures: a reality that does not have any preconceived order and therefore is open to interpretation. Zangarini’s pictures express his point of view about the world, which, through his photographs, becomes more relevant than the subject itself. These images transcend his personal order, giving sense to chaos. For Zangarini, the primary subject of his pictures is everyday life, which at the beginning was a reality to discover and subsequently became a place where he discovered a deeper mystery that is always hidden behind what appears to be banal. By seeking a deeper mystery, one is led to ask questions about the meaning rather than be given answers. Art allows him to combine the appeal of the mystery to the will of action that has emerged from his philosophical contemplations; his life has evolved from asking how to asking why. He integrates the technical knowledge’s of analogical photography he learned from his father to the new technologies provided in the new digital era. He graduated in 2012 with a thesis that highlights the elements of anti-humanism and structuralism in the art of Franco Vaccari – from both an artistic and a critical point of view. His works evoke astonishment, surprise, and mystery to those who observe the world. His art has been displayed in several solo and collective exhibitions both in Italy (Venice Biennale, Turin), in Denmark and in The Netherlands. He collaborates with the Milan-based ‘Arte20 Group’ agency and the ‘Bottega Indaco’ group of artists in Turin. Currently, he lives and works between Turin (IT), Aarhus (DK), and Utrecht (NL).

**Successful product design** manages to reveal useful functionality beyond its appealing form. No matter how excellent a design looks like, most customers aren't likely to spend money on something they won't be able to use. On the other hand, most people are likely to buy something useful _despite_ the design it has.
