Great Spanish/Mediterranean food and relaxed atmosphere. Bib Gourmand listed.

A welcome retreat from the bustle of the city. I really enjoyed spending the afternoon walking around the botanical gardens, taking pictures. It's home to thousands of species of plants and nearly as many cats.

Paris / Bar

Beautiful independant Cinema recently restaured hiding a rooftop bar. If you ask nicely you can access the bar without having to buy a ticket to movie and enjoy the view on one of the most dynamic avenues of the city. Mosaic lovers will enjoy.

Wiesbaden / Cemetery

Following an ancient tradition, many people that are left behind do plant Life Trees near the tombstone. While the years pass, these trees grow to an amazing Size. Because of its worthy tree population, this Cemetery not only is a quality burial site but also serves as recreational space for the many visitors. Because of its architectural planning and amazing scenery of artful tombs, this Cemetery was put under monumental protection. Address Nordfriedhof | Platter Straße 83, 65193 | Wiesbaden

Brunswick / Other

I often drive through Brunswick on my way home towards the west, so I get to stare at the most beautiful pink and orange setting skies when I should be concentrating on the road. I take photos of them but they never turn out like the real thing.

Marrakesh / Garden Centre

The Majorelle Garden is a botanical garden and artist's landscape garden. It was created by French Orientalist artist, Jacques Majorelle, and starting in 1923 it features a Cubist villa designed by French architect.

Paris / Park

Chateau de Rentilly is located in the east suburb of Paris, 30 minutes away. In a nice park, you can discover a masterpiece of the artist Xavier Veilhan, he covered the castle with mirrors ! The architecture becomes spectacular.

London / Restaurant

Great food and atmosphere in Brixton. Try their Vegan Viking pizza: Cashew cheese, pistachio pesto, red chillies, rocket and mint or their Cauliflower cheese arancini. And who doesn't like a bottomless brunch in the weekends?

London / Museum

My favorite museum.

Tokyo / Restaurant

There are many long-established good Japanese buckwheat noodle restaurants in Kanda. "Kanda Yabusoba" was founded in 1880. Soba is Japanese brown noodle made from buckwheat flour. Generally, it is eaten cold after being dipped in a soy-flavored sauce. Kanda is also famous as a city for secondhand bookstores. You should take a walk to look for the books you like after eating Soba.

Dublin / Forest

This forest is only 1 hour away by car from Dublin and apparently is one of the oldest in the entire country. I like to go there with every opportunity. It has all the elements of a great forest being very dark, intimidating and ancient. There are sculptures and installations spread throughout the forest, making the experience of walking around beautifully bizarre and surreal.

New York / Shop

The Home Depot is one of the first things I saw when the taxi brought me at the place where I live now in NYC. I am renting a room in an old feather factory, which the owner build into a very cozy loft with rooms, common places and studios over the last 12 years. The Home Depot is a massive construction store, one of the leading ones in the US if you can say something like that about construction stores...You ll find them everywhere in the states as well as in my backyard and you can even follow them on Facebook. In general everybody in Bed Stuy complains about the Home Depot, because the employees are grumpy, lazy and never know anything when you ask them for something.

Chicago / Artist

An artist working primarily in photography, Laura Letinsky’s ideas and work are formed through a perspective that avails, perhaps insists upon, a particular kind of attention to the act of looking and of picturing. While materially different, in her photographic work, as with materials including porcelain and textiles, she wrangles with the personal and the intimate as it is visually, experientially, and quantitatively defined- and thus, confined-- by the social and the public. Along with making and thinking about art, teaching, designing (clothes, household items), growing (mostly vegetables), endorphins (running), and being a mom, she wonders what to eat for dinner tonight. A Professor at the University of Chicago since 1994, she’s received numerous awards including, recently, the Canada Council International Residency, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin. She's numerous publications including six monographs, her most recent book is Time's Assignation, Radius Books, 2017.

Stockholm / Photographer

Ryan Koopmans (BA, MFA) is a Dutch Canadian photographer interested in the built environment and the societies that are shaped by those environments. Born in Amsterdam (1986) he was raised on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada, completed his undergraduate education at UBC in Vancouver, and in 2012 received a Masters of Fine Art in Photography, Video & Related Media at The School of Visual Arts in New York City. His undergraduate degree in the interdisciplinary practices of geography, art history, and psychology formed the basis for his interest in architecture and the communities living in that architecture. Koopmans is primarily drawn to photographing surreal structures in our world’s megacities and urban landscapes. Formal qualities in their geometry, repetition, and saturation help him illustrate what he terms ‘the poetry of form in interesting locations.’ In essence, his work documents the points of intersection where the natural and manmade converge. He credits his upbringing on Canada’s rugged West Coast, where distances and vistas are vast, as to why he often photographs from a removed perspective, embracing a large sense of scale. Currently based in Stockholm, Sweden, the majority of the year Koopmans travels around the world for both personal and assigned photography & video projects. Please see www.sirenforever.com for his advertising photography.
