Secret Cinama

The venue was hidden by bridges, but we found the reception.
As soon as arrival, we were asked to full in a visa application form.
It could be a key item for this event.

When we went up stairs, clothes were dropped. It made a misterious atitude.

Surprisingly There were several different sets inside. Those people were speaking in Arabic.

It seemed a class set.

Suddenly a blass band played and act started. They spoke in French.

After hearing sound like a bomb, we were guided into a narrow passage way and a film colled "Battle of Algiers". Every set were rebuilt from scenes of the film. I undestood It made sense. It was a great entertaiment mixed a film and acting and sets.

Cabaret house at V&A

Friday late: The Play-House

On 25 March, A lot of performances were shown everywhere in V&A museum.

At the entrance, cabaret show appered on a stage. Girls were wearing 50s style outfits. It was good inspiration for this event theme.

We were able to have an experience of walking on a red carpet. Everytime to go through this corridor, fake funs were welcoming us. I have asked a shake hand, autograph, taking a picture and interview. So I felt a bit embarrased. Nevertheless, It was unique idea for entertainment.

Girls interviewers.

A workshop for making own theatrical toys. All of them were connected. As widing a handle, all of heads were up and down. It seemed a simple technique used with toys.

The play was showed. I couldn't understand the theme of this play but maybe it doesn't matter without meaning. Around a drunk guy, cast had an argument.

An artist, Philip Levine explained about his own head art. The head was attached thousand of daiamante by hands. It must have taken long time for glueing but it would not last parmanent. It reminded me Daiamond skull by Damian Hirst.

Some performers were playing on half landings, corridors, spaces. They were eye catchy and I was never bored to stay there by myself.

London Street Photography

I went to London Street Photography exhibision at museum of London. It was first time to visit there, the building had unique landscape and modern style. The exhibiton was quite popular as waiting 20 minutes to get in. The photographs were categorised five periods.

1860-1889 The origins of street photography in London.

The horse-and-buggys were filmed on a busy street, they looked like traffic jam.

1890-1929 The metropolis in motion.

The first hand-held multi shot cameras were invented during the period.

1930-1945 Observing the street.

Camera techmology had matured to allow photographs to be taken almost anywhere.

1946-1979 Capturing the street

Social & cultural changes after the 2nd worldwide war provided a new impetus for street photography.

It can be seen the youth street culture scenes from photographs.

1980-2010 Reclaiming the street.

The photography sifted more artistic images.

It was clear to learn the history of streets as well as the history of camera works and the trends.

Recreation of History

The potographs were re-created Histrical scenes, Watt Tyler's Peasants' Revolt of 1381 by photographer Red Saunders. It incredibly shows similar texture as contemporary paintings and it's readable the history. Behind scene, many people supported for the great work. These efforts made great art. They are shown at Museum of London.
