BOYGIRL

Afrika Shrine, Lagos, Nigeria 1970s.

Cyberpop is a retro-futuristic style that first emerged in Japan during the 1990s under the more generic name "cyber fashion" (サイバーファッション). It is characterized by some fantasy, futurism, and a positive aura, as opposed to Cyberpunk and Cybergoth, which are rather negative and dark (post-apocalyptic).

Room Portraits | Menno Aden

Through challenging camera angles Menno Aden abstracts most familiar actual living environments and public interiors into flattened two-dimensional scale models. A camera that the artist installed on the ceiling of various rooms takes pictures downwards of the interiors. The resulting images lay out space in symmetrical compositions that look like assemblages stripped off any kind of objectivity. The views into private homes and secret retreats bring up associations of the ubiquitous observation camera. The notion of surveillance is systematically played out by the artist to hint at society’s voyeuristic urge that popular culture has made mainstream.
