Il Girasole: A Rotating House
∞
“This award-winning film by Marcel Meili and Christoph Schaub tells the story of ‘Il Girasole’, the rotating modernist house built into the Po Valley hillside in northern Italy. Affectionately termed ‘The Sunflower’, the house was built in the 1930s by architects Angelo Invernizzi and Ettore Fagiuoli, with the help of their artist, sculptor, designer and architect friends.”

Flying Saucer (2010) by David De Beyter, from his Concrete Mirrors series:
This project is a photographic mockumentary.

The gift-giving season might be over, but this books seems like the perfect present for people who love having quirky photobooks on their coffee table (or me, hint hint):
The award-winning project PLAYGROUND of photographer Jeroen Hofman portrays Dutch training grounds where the Fire Department, the Police and the Military are trained in realistic scenarios. In surrealistic ghost towns the emergency services try to prepare for what is factually unknowable: the future. Within the boundaries of this ‘playground’ the chaos seems controllable for a moment; even if only for the duration of the exercise. Hofman has now compiled these pictures taken the the last few years from atop a cherry picker into a book.You can order it online via Jeroens’ website and if you’re still not convinced, you can view some more spreads on facebook.
