MJ:13:13

5 days after Michael Jackson's tragic death (I thought why I didn't mentioned something on my blog about it :-?), me and my friend Fouad Amiri decided to run a memorial service for Michael. We decided to run it as a virtual party. So after 3 days of working hard on this idea, MJ:13:13 virtual memorial party launched for all Michael's fans all around the world.

Why we name this memorial party MJ:13:13? you should check out the official page.

I designed the poster and wallpaper for this event and Fouad designed the web page for it.

Dedicated to Christine

Beside "The Ghost" photography project, I'm designing a poster as a side-project dedicated to "Christine Chubbuck" a reporter who committed suicide during a live TV program. This poster is based on some figure drawings I did for this one combined with some vector elements, typographies and hand-made textures.

It will be published in very limited edition.

Something About Ghosts!

Here are so many Ideas I'm thinking about and so many projects currently I'm doing, but one of most recently and the most important projects is an experimental photography project entitled "The Ghost" (just a working title). And it's all about the time when you stuck all alone in a dark room with some hallucinated/paranormal visions, When you feel there is a thing or another person in the room. Your hallucinations come alive and then...boom! You have a ghost by your side!

And the photos will tell you the story of this visit!
The first session of shooting photo is done and I'll have some more sessions to complete my set.
More to come about this project.

Variations Énigmatiques

I started to read a new play this morning, and I finished it some mintues ago. That play was Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt's "Enigma Variations (Variations Énigmatiques)". This play is written in 1996. A breathtakingly masterpiece by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt. Once again this play has just characters, two men, who talk about their lives and their beloveds.

Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt describes the summary himself:

"Who do we love when we love ? Do we ever know who the beloved one is ? Is mutual affection but a happy and lucky misunderstanding ?

Love is a mystery and the very reason why, on the stage, one man faces. On one side, Abel Znorko, a Nobel Prize of literature who lives far from men and civilization. On his island lost in the middle of the Norwegian sea, he keeps on remenbering the woman he loved passionately and with whom he corresponded for a long time. On the other : Erik Larsen, a journalist who wants to interview the writer.

But the interview is only a pretext. So what is Larsen's secret motive ? What is the link between him and this woman Znorko claims he has never forgotten ? And most of all, why has the misanthropist agreed to meet him ?

The encounter will quickly turn into a very cruel and vicious truth game. The two men, like two boxers, will in turn reveal their secrets in many dramatic turns and with a suspense distilled with much talent."

Mesmerizing storytelling of Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt will surprise you once again. With no doubt this play will be in your mind for weeks and will make you think deeply about the story. If you didn't have the chance to read this play, This is my recommendation for your forthcoming holidays.
