Focus point on black swallow tail coat (kuroenbi) --> Is the front part too loose that it’d fall apart if i bent forward?

If you have a time machine what would you do —> i don’t want to go to the past, but the future is also scary, so i don’t think i’ll use a time machine. but i’d want to go to the rococo times in the palaces of “rose of versailles” (laughs). 92.

Scene —> Last scene in “Sanctuary”. when dancing with Yuuri-chan (Reimi Urara) who plays the princess, the waltz that we both dance has this tense vibe that i love so much. also from that scene to the part where my douki Aishiro Moa-chan said those lines, and every time our eyes met, i cry every time. 97. Costume —> That navy blue military outfit in the second act of “Sanctuary”. i also love beddini’s pyjamas in “Top Hat”. 98. Still photo —> Franz Liszt from “People who have Wings” 99. Lines from “A Beautiful life” said by Ishida Mitsunari when the autumn leaves fall from the Lake Biwa: “Rather than flowers blooming without knowing that they will fall, I think I love autumn leaves that know the end and turn their colours.” it needs some flow of imagination in this scene so I really love it. that line paints something in my heart. 100. Role —> Ishida Mitsunari in “A Beautiful Life” in newcomers performance. He lived a good life, and he’s a very righteous role.

¿Que pasaría si borráramos la historia de les fotógrafes mujeres y disidencias?

Perderíamos un mundo amplio, donde se puede mirar tanto los grandes temas como también mirar hacia adentro, del hogar, de los afectos, de une misme, de la performance que es vivir en sociedad y perderíamos, además, la parte de la fotografía más lúdica, expresiva y que no tiene miedo a no tomarse tan en serio a si misma.

Ayer el equipo de photobook club madrid llevó a cabo una visita a la exposición “what they saw: historical photobooks by woman 1843-1999" en la cual se recorrió la muestra y luego tuvimos la oportunidad de ver varios títulos.

La muestra gira en torno a una publicación realizada por 10x10 photobook que reúne 250 libros seleccionados y que en la biblioteca se exponen 60 de ellos. Según la web de la biblioteca “Esta muestra busca incluir autorías que han sido marginadas en la historia del fotolibro, así como aquello a lo que miraron y que, a menudo, también ha sido borrado o silenciado: las mujeres, las comunidades queer, las personas racializadas y artistas que no son de Estados Unidos ni de países europeos.”

Hay que tener en cuenta que es una exposición de corte clásico/archivístico donde vamos a ver una selección de libros desde 1843 a 1999 y que las cosas han cambiado bastante desde esa época a la actualidad desde lo social, político en materia de derechos y visibilidad de comunidades lgbtq+, rol de la mujer en la vida y también aspectos técnicos en torno a equipo y temáticas tratadas. Muchos de los libros que se pudieron consultar eran de fotografías en byn, sobre todo de retrato. Libros como el de Hiromix (que de los expuestos en la expo me parecía el más “actual” y con una estética más desenfadada) no se encontraba disponible para consultarlo sino que era parte de la mesa con vitrinas.

Es muy raro ir a exposiciones de libros donde no se pueden ver por dentro, que, por cuestiones de conservación, se encuentran dentro de una vitrina. Me genera un sentimiento de extrema confusión ya que, si me genera interés, QUIERO VERLO! QUIERO SABER MÁS! Hay algunas exposiciones que ponen como alternativa el visionado mediante una pantalla, que no es lo mismo pero al menos nos puede quitar la curiosidad 😌

También es importante decir que los libros expuestos son parte de la colección de la biblioteca y que están accesibles a todes y que este material es un gran documento histórico y está bueno que podamos tener acceso de forma gratuita.

Pueden visitar la muestra hasta el 7 de junio de 2024 en la Biblioteca del Museo Reina Sofía.

En las imágenes comparto algunos fragmentos de libros que me gustaron y/o llamaron la atención.

Secret carat anon here again :) Aw don't worry about it, hope it was a good kinda busy at least! My weekend was alright, just worked worked worked lol.

Honestly I completely agree, there's few other groups with discographies I can just listen to without skipping many songs! It's so impressive and definitely one of the reasons why I love them so much.

Ah wow it really has been a long time for you then! No wonder your content is so amazing, all those years of experience pay off I bet. And I love that you were inspired by other svt grfx makers to start making your own <3 There really are so many amazing talented creators in this fandom, I appreciate you guys so much.

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way about your grfx :( And I 100% disagree! Your creations always look so good! Your style is so gorgeous and unique and iconic and I just love everything you make so much. It's always easy to take your own accomplishments for granted but trust me that others are always amazed by what you share with us <3 And I hope you get some time to draw soon!

Omg yeah fallin' flower was truly impeccable, I really wish we got more like it. And I get what you mean about home;run! They're such musical theatre nerds that the concept for home;run made almost too much sense for them haha. I'm personally a sucker for darker concepts like fear, getting closer, and 24h and hope they'll try something like that again in the future :) A dark academia style like they had for the social club photobooks would be awesome too! Very sophisticated and sexy <3

Next round of questions: Do you own any albums? If so, which ones? If not, what are some you would love to own someday? Who are some of your favourite painters/artists? And since you often use flowers in your grfx: do you have a favourite flower?

hii! sorry it took me a bit to reply, my mom visited me for a few days so I was quite busy 😊 hope you had a great week!

thank you so much for all the compliments! 🧡 I really appreciate it!

hmmm I'm not a huge fan of dark concepts in general, fear is probably my least favourite concept they tried (still really cool though ahah), but I did loooove getting closer! the song is amazing and so is the choreo (probably one of my favourite as well)

I usually like dark concepts when they are a bit quirky (not sure if it's the right word ahah my brain can't think in english today), something like red velvet's peek-a-boo or really bad boy, or shinee's married to the music, you know? not sure if it would suit seventeen though ahah but yeah, I totally agree with the dark academia style! they should try something like that for a comeback

I do own a few albums. the first albums I bought were you made my day and you made my dawn (although I "lost" them when I moved back home after uni, they are probably in a box in my parents' basement), then I have two versions of heng:garae (basically destroyed them as you could create your own album, I cut all the pages and mixed them up and made collages with old magazines ahah), then I bought face the sun (carat version because it was super cute) and sector 17 (new beginning version because I'm a sucker for pretty men with flowers). also tmi, I always pull joshua's photocard ahah

I didn't buy the others because either I didn't like the design, the concept or there were too many versions and couldn't choose the one I wanted. however, I would like to own boys be (love the cover and the concept) and al1 (for sentimental reasons). also not an album, but I would like to buy their social club photobook, I decided too late that I wanted it and now I can't find it anywhere ahah

hmmm another hard question, I think my favourite painter is probably amedeo modigliani, there’s just something about his portraits that fascinates me. I also like impressionism in general, artists like monet, renoir, degas, cezanne, etc. last week I also went to an exhibition of niki de saint phalle and it was amazing, we have one of her sculptures in my hometown so I always felt quite attached to her work. I also adore the sculptures of alberto giacometti! and toulouse-lautrec as well, my parents have one of his sketches at home and it’s one of my favourite pieces they have at home. ooh and george grosz, I wrote my high school thesis on some of his works

and for flowers, I think my favourites are forget-me-nots, but I love daises, sunflowers, primroses, dahlias, tulips, poppies and daffodils too

#hope you have a nice day!#secret carat
