The Iron Curtain Diaries - 1989 2009
by gregg
(Les cahiers du Rideau de fer). Un reportage sur les quelque 7 000km de frontières qui séparaient le bloc occidental du bloc communiste, il y a 20 ans.
Deux journalistes sont partis de Berlin. L'un pour rejoindre le port de Mourmansk en Russie et l'autre, Bourgas en Bulgarie, sur la mer Noire.
Près de 5000 photos ont été rapportées par Prospekt. 70 heures de vidéo. Une armada de traducteurs ont traduit les entretiens.
Ancien journaliste de Radio Populare, Angelo Miotto et Matteo Scanni, directeur de l'école de journalisme de l'Université catholique de Milan ont remporté plusieurs prix ensemble pour leurs documentaires sur des sujets engagés (amiante, opérations immobilières, trafics de visa, etc)
«Le reportage a été conçu au départ uniquement pour devenir un document multimedia, mais nous savions que nous pourrions exploiter chacun de notre côté les éléments qui ont été utilisés» explique Angelo Miotto.
Combien de temps pour réaliser ce tout premier webdocumentaire pour les quatre mousquetaires ? Quatre mois et demi. «On a travaillé comme des fous jour et nuit pour terminer à temps» (commémoration de la chute du Mur de Berlin).

LIZ TRAN
by karlcow
Tran’s works draw us in with saturated colors and blooming shapes only to reveal a sort of darkness. Suggested by the black, wrought iron fences that coil about the trunks of her trees, her art feels akin to that moment in the story when the children realize they have become lost in a wood. The trees embody the best of both worlds – they remain grounded via their roots and the artist’s skill, plus they stretch their branches to discover a rather hallucinatory bliss. They seem to give us permission to risk taking a neon path to joy. - Molly Norris

NIHONTO-NO-BI: Tsuba I
by sbrothier
Sukashi Tetsu Tsuba
These tsuba are made from forged iron (tetsu) plate and have designs or patterns cut into them. Some of the more elaborate could take up to three months to complete. Sukashi work is of two basic types:
Ko-sukashi: in negative relief, where a minor design is cut into the plate (e.g. a cherry blossom); these tsuba were often produced by swordsmiths (tosho) or armour-makers (katchushi or kacchushi), however many were also produced by tsubako of different schools and signed.
Ji-sukashi: in positive relief, where a large amount of the plate is removed, and the design is formed by the plate that remains. There are two forms of ji-sukashi:
(a) yo- (you) sukashi, a positive silhouette where metal is removed to leave a solid shape; and
(b) kage-sukashi, a type of negative silhouette where only the outline of the design remains, such as with a pencil drawing.
