Juan Delcan & Valentia Izaguirre:  Playing with Matches

NOTE:  These are gif versions of videos that can be seen in higher resolution and with sound on Instagram.

Juan Delcan & Valentia Izaguirre are a US based team of Multidisciplinary Visual Artists who have created many high profile campaigns for many high profile clients.  Juan was originally from Canada but grew up in Spain and Valentia is from Venezuela. They have created a popular series of short videos on Instagram that feature matches that ignite spontaneously at various times.  I asked Juan what prompted the creation of the match series and he said ‘The idea of the matches came to me the first time I was able to grab a pen and do a stick figure…. It was the very first thing I remember doing.’ 

These videos are sophisticated in their combination of live action and animation but also very witty.  Do a freeze frame near the end of the pipe image and you will see what I mean.

See Instagram version of these works.

Stiff Pose Victorian Postmortem photography (140 Pics)

Postmortem photography or memento mori, the photographing of a deceased person, was a common practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photographs were considered a keepsake to remember the dead. Child mortality was high during the Victorian era. For many children even a common sickness could be fatal. When a child or other family member died, families would often have a photograph taken before burial. Many times it was the first and last photograph they would ever possess of their loved one. Many postmortem photographs were close-ups of the face or shots of the full body. The deceased were usually depicted to appear as if they were in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more life-like. Children were often shown on a couch or in a crib, often posed with a favorite toy. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even propped up on something.
