Dear readers, The first issue of Pinks the magazine is in your sovery-special hands. As you can touch yourselves, it`s from the latest generation. It moves, jumps, sings, dances and accidentally prepares you French toast on Sunday morning. We like it very much. We filled it with terribly interesting people whom we gathered from near and far places on the map and also with infinite amount of colorful stuff to entertain you in this lazy hot weather. And we can either finish you off with another 4 tons of banalities, or let you read it. By the time you reached this sentence you`d probably found out that this editor`s note has absolutely no point at all, but it would be late. In short, I hope you`ll have fun. And eventually, that you`ll find out what the point is in the pages that follow. When you do, you can write back to biliana@pinks. bg. I`d appreciate any feedback. Even in tomatoes.

Sincerely and inexorably yours:

“Mad murderers“* side, smudge tones of lipstick on the secretaries from the neighboring department`s fat lips. In the word lover for me there are two tons of dirt and shame. It was an indecent word for sex in offices, for broken-up socialist families, for nasty garrets where cognac is drank and naked well-fed with toxic foods, fat, grey and pink legs twist under dirty sheets. Criminal abortions, hidden notes under the table, gossips from Arhondova, the viper from the next office, comrades‘ court and late-night scandals in apartments in “Liulin”1 and “Mladost 4”2. Despair, hatred, expulsion, forgiveness, endless clarification of the relationship, midnight departures from home with tragicomic collecting of the luggage. And drinking, drinking, drinking. Lovers to me was a dirty word. I hate it. And... Like I said... Eve and I were lovers for two months.

Ciela, 2011 Cover by Dinko Stoev

And just because we were already lovers, because we waded into the swamp of illicit love, I had to, concealed even from myself, from my conscience, arrange a duty on New Year`s Eve. So we can be together on the holiday. Fuckin horror. I loved her so deeply I couldn`t imagine that she will be standing alone in her empty apartment. I imagined it and the weight of it made me feel sick. At the same time I imagined my wife and my daughter - also alone on New Year‘s Eve. And I still felt sick. It is true that my wife had little Cookie, our daughter. True ...

I`m on duty again. So I told my wife, and filled myself with resentment. I was a crook, a liar and a pig. An egoist like no other in the world. I was preparing for this duty, I wanted it. I wanted to be on duty on New Year`s Eve 1998. I didn`t want it in front of my conscience, but deep in my childish nature of a mischief, a bandit and a fibber, I longed to be on duty right on the holiday. And why? Someone might ask. Well, because of Eve. Again that Eve. Again that Eve. It`s been two months since we were lovers. Now I`m going to say five words about the word „lovers“. Lovers, goddamn it, is a word that was invented by a mustached auntie, literature teacher or worker in a provincial Community center. Invented in a place where the intrigues and petty malice are the most important part of life. When I hear „lover“ I imagine greasy and dirty banquets in the communist departments. Drunken employees, their ties on one

But Eve had only me. It was an absolutely ridiculous and pathetic excuse but it somewhat passed before my conscience. In addition, my wife, Sally, would spend the time with my parents, while Eve would be really alone. But who isn`t alone on New Years? I thought of Eve, but I thought, my thought slipping to the thousands of loners; I was thinking that all the mentally ill will be alone on this holiday. As always - alone in their crazy experiences and thoughts. And I was sensing that I prefer to be alone, so I could not be ashamed by the fact that thousands will be lonely. But I wanted to be with Eve. I was sick of remorse and still wanted it. That was it: I waited for the bloody New Year and occasionally just got sick. Ugh. 1

“Liulin” and 2 “Mladost 4” – two of the peripheral districts of Sofia

* Excerpt from the novel „Madness“ by Kalin Terziiski. One year after publishing „Alcohol“, which speaks in first-person of his battle with alcoholism, the author puts us deep in the recesses of his other former special line - that of a psychiatrist. „Madness“ for some is probably just another story about love. Unusual remains the scenery where it is experienced. It is precisely what opposes the terms „insanity“ and „normal“ to the eternal dilemma of the circumstances.

The celebration of design Sofia Design Week T

he whole of July was marked by design and, fortunately for us, the city map of Sofia became a treasure map for contemporary visual arts. Sofia Design Week brought us not only a lot of foreign experience and talent, but also a lot of successful Bulgarian projects. Even though we were tempted to focus on one of the fashion events, as soon as we saw the question for the existence of Bulgarian product design in Centralna Bania, we knew we should introduce it to you. Not the question, but the answer. Undoubtedly there would be a more natural understanding of the 10

Judging a book by its cover,

Y

ou will probably end up with one of David Peterson`s books. British graphic designer, barely 28 years old, already has several notorious series with Penguin Books, international recognition and tens of awards in this field. Visiting works of Peterson’s graphic design gathered curious “rookies” and professionals from Bulgaria, enraptured by the magic of simple classics in his work, which is a must in his work. Among the few pieces that didn’t leave after the end of Sofia Design Week were those books by David Peterson and Penguin. They were left for safekeeping in the carrel of British Council, where they would give joy not only by their covers.

Life is a theatre,

And theatre begins with a good poster. The International Triennial of Stage Poster gathered as much as 50 of those in Sofia. We were happy to see the names of 20 young Bulgarian authors from National Academy of Arts amongst the names of 30 worldwide famous designers and artists.

Lulin Ding:

I am interested in the way we as people interact with objects By Biliana Dimitrova Photography: dlulin.com

E

ccentric, curious, creative – Lulin Ding is a name we will most definitely be hearing from now on. The projects of the young designer provoke interest with seemingly banal themes that are treated by even more banal means. To show that actually the understanding of simple things is banal and complicated. The most popular project of Lulin is the Digitized Eyeshadow. It was covered properly for such an innovation by many worldwide media and also inspired our zero issue cover. For all that and the things that inspire her, she will tell us herself.

cover story

Where do I find you now, Lulin? I am currently studying at Victoria University of Wellington, in New Zealand. I will be graduating at the end of this year. Are you a “moving� artist, one that travels a lot? I have travelled and have been to Europe, Asia and Oceania. I am right now based in New Zealand and was briefly based in the Netherlands last year. You are an industrial designer, one with a very interesting vision indeed and your work is already traveling across the world. How would you explain what is it that you do to a child?


I would call myself both a product designer/interaction designer. I design objects that people can interact with. I design around the human body. I am especially interested in designing objects with social relevance and are experience-based. The project that recently caught everyone`s attention was the LED eye shadow. How did it come to your mind to do it and how does it work? I was very idle when I first thought of the concept, and was sure someone must have done it already. I did a brief search on the Internet and found nothing. The more I thought of it the more I realized that the possibility of a digital eye shadow is entirely doable. I thought this design was a feasible concept. It follows the functions of a normal eye shadow, being that you are turning your eye shadow on when you close your eyes. Of course even this can change depending on how you want to use your eye shadow, as the lights are programmable using the lilypad. If you wanted it to flash on and off or even turn it on when your eyes are open and turn it off when you close your eyes and vice versa, just program this digitized eye shadow. Even the color could be changed in shade using different LEDs. It`s a very futuristic beauty idea. Have you thought about the evolution of beauty standards in the future? Can we predict the direction where they are going? The technology is very basic; it’s just been there waiting for anyone to explore its options. This idea seems more futuristic than it actually is. I think painting as a medium for make-up will never disappear and with technological devices or rather components becoming miniaturized, people could possibly correct their make-up with miniature LED lights or other components that you may not be able to see and its effect may be similar to that of traditional make-up. But being that digital make-up would be digitized, it will probably look slightly different just because of the different advantages of what each medium offers. There is a distinct connection with psychology in your works. Where did you find the challenge in exploring the make-up issue? It is considerably “shallower” than your other themes? There’s probably psychology in my designs because I am interested in the way we as people interact with objects. I would say that the eye shadow project may seem shallower, but due to the possibilities of programming and new technology, it is offering an alternative concept to the medium eye shadow. The object is reprogrammable, so it offers much more individualizing for the person that is using it. It is definitely more technically challenged than my other projects.

The LED eyeshadow is offering an alternative concept to the medium eye shadow

Your previous project is called Jamais Vu. It is an original way to make people think about the noise they live in by simply taking care of a plant in a special amulet. The plant “tamagochi’ is a clean visual expression of the effects of the loud sounds we daily accumulate. Tell us about your personal experience with it, please.

cover story 19


“Jamais vu“


“I still enjoy the occasional splash in the puddles“ It is a project that expressed a philosophy I believe in. It’s simply, protect your ears. I believe if we are so used to the noise inflected upon us daily, it is time that we should take notice of it. I personally experience a slight ringing sound in my ear when its completely silent within a room, it’s a sign of damaged hearing. After this project I have started to take notice of my surroundings and even switched to putting in ear plugs when I go out to night clubs and concerts etc. It`s an abstract way to awake the instinct to protect our senses. Why do you think there is a need for such “mediators” as the plant for us to think about it? I found it rather an ironic project as I found that the mediator is a way to get someone to start looking after themselves. People usually find it much easier to look after themselves if there is something that is reliant upon them. This idea was proven right when I did several user tests and found that most people had to look towards the plant before realizing the environment they were in was a danger to their hearing. And probably your most “romantic” project – the umbrella MP3. Please describe its idea to our readers. Often I wish the rain would fall when I was feeling the blues, and I have never developed that dislike for rain and still enjoy the occasional splash in the puddles. I like the romantic scene of walking in the rain and using water as a way to purify the soul. The inspiration came from the instrumental piece “Electric tears” by Bucklehead.

The project “Memory” is in search of the connection we make to remember events in our life. What did you learn through it? Memory and fact are two very different things. What we remember happening and even the layout of something could be altered due to the emotions felt or even the way we experienced something. The same memory is very individualized, and varies between people. The variation could be both minimal and drastic.

The project “Memory” is in search of the connection we make to remember events in our life What can we find in your wardrobe? What are your fashion obsessions? Do you fancy any mass brands at all? And what`s with the moustache on every photo? I have the biggest collections of sweaters, coats, and scarves. I also have lots of high waist skinny jeans. I also really like shirts, I recently brought an antique men’s evening shirt and converted it into a dress for myself. As for the moustache, it was a collaborative project called Glomus, and it’s a way to start a movement that renews the relationship of the person to making things in the home using a ‘makerbot’. Makerbot is a low cost and affordable 3D printer. The moustache is an extension to that relationship; it’s a more obvious way of giving the traditional woman’s role more power than it has now but emasculating that role, hence the moustache. during mating season. It’s a way of attracting someone to look under your skirt. However you do not see the upper thighs or the underwear, instead the person that is I have recently designed some modern day bloomers to looking under the dress is instead exposed to a tessellated go under an existing dress’, it’s a reflection of animals origami pattern that moves once you are standing still. At last, dare we ask what are you working on now and when we can expect it?

Miriam Josi:

Jewels are items with priceless emotional value By Biliana Dimitrova Photography: Mimi Vert

Miriam Josi is a prominent young designer born in Switzerland. A few years back she created her own jewelry brand Mimi Vert together with her partner Ilias Verras, although she hasn`t studied jewel crafting art specifically. For Pinks Miriam tells how she turned her hobby into a career; what transforms a jewel from an item to an emotional object and reveals yet another dedication of her latest collection.

M

iriam, you`re a self-taught jewelry designer. When did you discover that passion?

I always knew I liked to create things, before it was drawing, painting etc. I got into jewelry not too many years ago and then found out it was a great way to create something unique that at the same time is wearable. Your style is very clean and contemporary. But what are the classics that inspire you?

There are so many remarkable and inspiring items from different eras. But Cycladic art had the strongest impact on me. The fact that it originates 3000 to 1000 years B. C., but yet looks so minimalist and modern really fascinates me. After I found out my designs unconsciously bear a resemblance to the Cycladic figures, I decided to consciously dedicate them a collection. This is a very precise art, what was the first thing you learned how to do?

The first pieces of jewelry I made by hand from scratch. I made them with precious gemstones and gold wire. Now I don’t produce them myself anymore. So drawing is the first step, everything starts with visualizing my ideas. How did you make the transition from making jewelry for yourself to making a whole brand?

28 interview


The Cycladic collection by Mimi Vert

Miriam‘s eye became her brand‘s trademark It was a very smooth and organic transition. When I started making my own jewelry the initial goal wasn’t to make it a business. But people around me liked what I did and wanted to purchase my pieces. So I started to produce my signature collections in limited editions for boutiques. It was very time-consuming since I made everything by hand. At one point my partner Ilias Verras had the idea to go a step further, We started outsourcing our production and designed a whole new line, introducing the green eye symbol - that was already our logo - directly into our designs. The Eye Collection also marked Mimi Vert’s beginnings as a brand. Who is Mimi Vert?

Mimi Vert is the name of our brand. “Mimi” stands for Miriam’s childhood name and “Vert” means “green” in French. What is the meaning of the signature green eye of Mimi Vert? Has it got something to do with eastern talismans and the blue eye?

The green eye is our symbol from the very beginning, when we were looking for a logo for Mimi Vert. My partner Ilias took an image of me and covered everything but one eye.

The powerful simplicity convinced us and we converted the eye into our logo. So originally it doesn’t come from the evil eye, yet I’m aware of the symbolic meaning eyes have always had through history. I like the idea that each person that wears a Mimi Vert eye puts its own personal significance in it. What was your first memory with jewelry? Do you remember what was the first thing that made an impression on you?

The Eye Collection interview 29


“This collection is to honour Joan of Arc and at the same time all the women that have been forgotten.“


When my grandmother gave me her locket necklace. It is a beautiful hand-carved piece from Italy in gold, she has put a picture from my grandfather as a young handsome man in it. She told me that she had it from her own grandmother as well. The most fascinating thing about jewellery for me is that they are small actually useless - objects, that become precious to us not just because of their material but their emotional value. Is there a universal piece of jewellery that you always wear? My grandmother’s locket necklace, always combined with some new Mimi Vert piece. Why did you use the women power as a base idea behind the brand? Is that your personal belief? Although it is not the fundamental idea or message of my brand it still is an important part of my inspirations. There are so many influential and inspiring women throughout history, that helped to achieve better human rights. I endlessly admire them and I am grateful for their efforts. Of all powerful women, why Jeanne d`Arc for a patron of your latest collection? It is a sad fact that only very few women are mentioned in history books. The collection is inspired in forms from the Middle Ages, Jeanne d’Arc is one of the few women that is remembered from this era. This collection is to honour Joan of Arc and at the same time all the women that have been forgotten.

“All I can say is that I will keep loving what I’m doing“

What and when to expect from you in the future? I have many new ideas for new collections and plans for the future, you can expect a new collection for 2012. All I can say is that I will keep loving what I’m doing and that our next stop is New York City.
