Paris Blurred Out

Last weekend I drove over 6 hours all the way from Basel to Paris through the pouring rain. It is kinda of crazy since I neither speak French nor German. And it is quite late in the night that I cannot see what are there around me. This is first time I drove this road so I kept imagining what are there, nearby the highway. I felt like transferring in a tunnel that isolated from the real world.

But the journey worths the torture in that tunnel. Paris has a very special attitude told by the color of the buildings and styles of people in the city. If you see it on high point it is quite agonized, but if you get into it, it is so complicated and so many trends and flows going on here and there.

Everyone in Paris is a stylist, like everyone in Basel is a designer and crafter. Seems like design and art are not something can be taught or learn, but a attitude of living. The biggest and hardest design project we are doing is designing our own life.

Maybe inspiring by the rain or the patterns of the European buildings, I played with an old blur algorithm I used to write and new photos I took during journey. It blurs the images in vertical direction to fill our wish that going higher. If you would like to see more.
