Closky-Festival: From 1 to 100

Der Konzeptkünstler Claude Closky, man könnte ihn einen französischen Timm Ulrichs nennen, macht schöne Arbeiten, die sich wunderbar im Netz zeigen lassen. Seine Website ist ein Parcours, ich bringe hier in den nächsten Tagen eine persönliche Auswahl.
Leider ist es schwierig bis unmöglich, die Fotos hier einzubinden. Auch wenn es nur fehlerhaft geht, mach ich jetzt trotzdem. Sonst klickt auf den Link drunter.

Musizieren im Krieg

(via fuckyouverymuch)

(via FAZ / Christian auf FB)

Als vor Jahren Beirut bombardiert wurde, hat sich ein in der Nähe lebender Klarinettist auf den Balkon gestellt und zu dem Lärm improvisiert, die Aufnahme habe ich auf einer niederländischen Online-Radiostation gehört, leider nicht mehr auffindbar.
