Bangkok / Cinema

Brand new cinema in the heart of Bangkok, a home for independent film makers. With Galerie Oasis, The City-Centre Art Space for Transdimensional Art located above the cinema.

Barcelona / Shop

I first came to this store, bike and barber shop to photograph its owner, a well known rapper from Barcelona. It's a nice place to find some good hip-hop classic records, buy a bike and also have your beard or your hair shaved.

Paris / Cafe

Your typical brunch vibe, love the shakshuka.

New York / Beach

Old military ruins. The girls sunbath topless here.

New York / Theatre

Every seat is a good seat in this small, intimate theater dedicated to dance. Nearly every dance company has filtered through the theater and with a season that lasts about 45 weeks, there's always a performance to see and tickets are very reasonably priced. I prefer a performance at The Joyce then at Lincoln Center any day.

New York / Cafe

Their coffee—all brewed from carefully sourced Nicaraguan beans—is truly delicious.

Moscow / Restaurant

Best place in the city for work, food and drinks.

Cape Town / Bakery

Best croissants in town!

New York / Bar

Stupendous views of Manhattan and what feels like all of Brooklyn from the only tall-ish building around. And very good beer.

Okayama / Restaurant

Small restaurant not listed anywhere. I got there by pure chance. Best sushis, sashimis and tempura I had in my life. Freeeeeesh food. Gooooood saké. Welcoming staff. ... a bit expensive but quite an experience ! PS the entry door is on the left of the sign « la plagne » and Italian restaurant Duomo.

London / Place

One of the main sources of inspiration for my work are unusual objects, vintage toys and tools. A great place to find them is this genuine car boot sale, which is clear of 'bargain' toilet paper and questionable cosmetics. Another plus are the comparatively sociable opening hours. (it starts at noon… )

London / River

Behind Markfield Beam Engine is the River Lee which travels from the Chiltern Hills all the way to the Thames via Tottenham Hale. There is a special light along this stretch of the river possibly due to there being about 10 massive reservoirs behind the levee on the other side of the river, offering an amazing sense of space. A great place to walk, cycle and feed the ducks, swans, geese and coots.
