11:32 am
hidden beneath this is alex she's not into modern technology she prefers old school box cameras this one is perfect for getting a panorama shot st every shot is a considered decision. i have the feeling that most people now only see the whole the day or whatever they're taking a picture all through a lens since i stopped doing that and consciously opted for analog photography i feel much better it's taken off the pressure. she takes pictures and also teaches others how to use the technology as well as how to develop the resulting photos her studio is in berlins former east every week she meets up here with like minded photographers. what i like most is how the whole process is slow down you concentrate on what's essential and. it's not just a quick snapshot you can see the results immediately and that's what's interesting . to me i'm fascinated by analog photography it feels real because it's physical.
11:33 am
you can actually touch it. it's not something abstract. that there's so much interest in analog photography that new cameras are now coming out on the market a london start up design the reflex the first new manual film camera in more than twenty five years other manufacturers are also trying their hand at instant cameras with a picture costing about a euro a piece. polaroid which made its name with instant photography decades ago had gone bankrupt when polish businessman. bought it up he brought out a new camera last year with the hope of winning over the instagram generation. younger people are like wow this new thing is amazing yeah sure it was in the past but it's a new experience for them it's you know this photograph is a rare experience where you have some framing something happening outside of your

to develop the film. and you just make sure you can find everything in the day. then the negativism marge's and projected onto photographic paper. finally the image is fixed in another chemical bath. in the icing on the cake what makes this also appealing are actually the imperfections the bits that are out of focus or a bit of fluff. every analog picture is a surprise whether taken with a roll of film or a polaroid camera generation instagram is rediscovering the magic of taking pictures in the real world something that it seems was almost forgotten. not bad but firstly i think i will stick to my good old digital camera all right moving on now to some other trends in fashion and both plus an adorable pair of

a majority of the participating electorate in the u.k. voted to leave the e.u. in a referendum now brags that sent shock waves throughout europe it's also led to wild speculation about how it's going to impact the continent once it is carried out now while politicians in brussels argue about what rex it should look like one artist has already interpreted in his vision musically british music producer matthew herbert is against it brags that and has channeled his anger into an art project now it's a work in progress just like brags that itself so let's have a listen. or are. there are there. when brooks happened it was such a big shock and i felt i had to do some thing. that just was
11:40 am
there. during and that something was music to accompany the doom and gloom of brax it matthew hubbard is now touring europe with his brags it big band of sixty five musicians. i wanted to create something that was also had some joy in it you know so much of brooks it is really boring and really an inspiring and idiotic and so i want to create something that was the opposite that i was i depending on where it's performing for bracks said big band always seeks out a regional quiet to work with like this dutch ensemble for today's concert in brussels the band also encourages the audience to join in so when we did the concert in london. we got everyone to write a message for europe and make into paper airplane with right to the stage.
11:41 am
and now we've got those messages and we'll throw them back to you guys so you can have and then you can write some messages to us and then throw them back so. so that's one thing we have a message. i like he's a point. of view. for me i don't think it. about criticizing. people i think for me it's much more about criticizing the structures that surround decisions like this on my facebook. matthew's criticism is expressed through all forms of music he sings composers and incorporates other people's sounds into the concerts. people can upload brax it sounds to his website with dissonant results.
11:42 am
try to find a way beyond words where people could just. kind of make a sound. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. brooks itself is tales i mean it's total chaos. and everybody's panicking and everybody the people that want a public. the people that most of the public here and the idea of the project is to try and follow the process. the bracketed big band plans to tour till the end of march twenty ninth teen when brittany sheryl to leave the e.u. the brussels audience had mixed expectations i work for the european union so it's a big thing right now. i think it's
11:43 am
a lose lose situation we we're here to see if we can be cheered up anything that's questions the recent ability of bricks is a good thing isn't it and. the stupidity of banks rather than a good time if you go show columns that you shouldn't have any political expectations it should just be music music music. there's no joy at all in the government that we have this got no imagination of them how can we make this world worse on her let's do this and then trying really hard to make it happen. and i don't want other people to think i'm all my friends in europe or strangers to for that matter you're to think that's the only reason because britain is definitely like that but there's another bit as well which is not like that too which is about tolerance and compassion and love of imagination.
11:44 am
which in there is now to get a sneak peek into someone's humble abode and today we are heading to a pyramid but this one isn't in egypt but rather in norway and as we will see the owner has come up with some unique ways for creating space among slanted walls. a pyramid in norway over ten meters high this house is located in the city of christiane's and in the south of the country. how welcome to param it this is my home and also my art gallery. the artist to lorna her husband and their two children live in a space that is two hundred and forty square metres in size and boasts eighteen
11:45 am
rooms. one day a week they open their doors to visit is. geared to lorna has lived here for about seventy years it took her a while to get used to the on usual slanting space. all the walls. are sloping so we haven't got much walls are. so that is something of a challenge when you are having clothes and where to put them and also wear when i run having furniture you have to think about at night this time to. a straight wall and constant sloping. she's made a virtue of necessity rather than storing clothes in a closet she's opted for draws. rather than concealing problems so in such
11:46 am
a corner she did crates them. in the carriage at the top of the pyramid visitors have to sit on the floor to fuse her peaches. it's more important to them that the sloping walls stand for being spoken walls than pretend they are there so i try to put my furniture in the house . showing the sloping walls and maybe use a low furniture no deeper to the ground and also having a lot of space. in the growing so not too money thrown it sure. loves combining furniture styles from different periods. she's ranged mid century finds
11:47 am
alongside antiques like this to century old wood cupboard. the pyramids middle story has a sleek retro feel bitter has deliberately corp round accents to offset all the right angles. this house is a square shaped. and the roof is proof with out where the symmetrical shape so there are all. streaked lines and square fair everywhere so i think to play more and to my looks softer i try to mix around shapes. better has painted all the walls white to brighten the space and lighten the mood. she also had twenty
11:48 am
skylights installed in the roof. to lation more light she's passed on curtains. unrestrained views outdoors has an added advantage when it rains it can it can hear and you can see the rain falling when it snows we feel like we're living in a glow because their windows are covered with snow. and it's so coasts and when the leaves fall off the trees in the wind. the windows are almost covered with leaves so you get the nights are right on here and it's wonderful. a watchful ferrule ensures that everything stays wonderful. you have to lorna is so pleased with the pyramids that she's now building you know the one which will be her studio in the god. thank you so much for everything me
11:49 am
and my house and welcome back. in this week series we've been looking into dynamic sets of twins who have gained success or even fame by implementing their creative ideas together well today the miller twins are in focus now they've capitalized on their striking likeness by becoming aerial arc about that of course in this profession being in sync is a must. this is diana and this is my five minute older twin sister sandra. they call themselves the millet wins and still can't get over their similarities. it's scary how similar we think how similar we are i've often asked myself how this can be
11:50 am
considering the fact that we really are two completely different people want to share the ones that are different but with the same genetic material exactly like dr two characters more or less. two characters who formed one attraction people often think that they are exactly the same a cliché that has its advantages and we exploited a bit especially for work. the middle twins have made a name for themselves by playing up there by catching similarities instead of their differences their double act is increasingly popular. they always take precautions before their performances they both train to be professional dancers but are also expert acrobats they integrate the surroundings into their act and like most tweens they can communicate without having to say much
11:51 am
at all. as mentioned even as kids when we started playing piano with four hands things were clear without us needing to talk and we rely on that a lot today yes we've always done that i'm always on the left she's always on the right and i'm left handed and she's right handed we're automatically mirror image twins. they're rehearsing for a performance at the opening of a new venue up above the roofs of munich sundries to the left of the drama while diana is on the right that's the way it always is and always hanging from a tall building. recently to them a tongue of ice and we've travelled around the world doing this act and we've been on the highest buildings of the world from the bush khalifa in dubai to the rockefeller center in new york. and on top of that our troops are usually. paid for suv right so of course it's perfect to travel action and to hash into.
11:52 am
something special something special yes it gives us a rush it really is something special when you can see everything from above and you can also get to places that others don't necessarily get to. like to the top of skyscrapers across the world these twins have cut out a niche market for themselves. we've loved it from the very beginning exactly then and eventually you get addicted you get a real adrenaline rush and at some point you love adrenaline. and when they work out a new act they try to use this few words as possible improvising as one but they don't do everything the same way one might be better than the other at something
11:53 am
it's good trying somehow to she developed there are some differences and now one of us is taking care of the financial side of our work more that would be me. yes she's the finance minister and i i know things down in the house yes she does the organizing and i do all the financial stuff. until recently the two sisters still live together even though diana is married and sandra has a boyfriend but they knew that this situation couldn't last forever. we've always known that we wanted to have our own families and didn't want to spend our whole lives together as twenty. five. we really wanted to lead separate lives with their own husbands and children and everything. so finally they moved in with their respective partners. separating from one another was easier
11:54 am
than they expected so if you feel a bit freer it's true right you don't always have someone stuck to you and you don't have to talk about everything or be so considerate the whole time not having to talk about everything is something we consider an advantage of being single. now that they no longer live together they have discovered more differences in their personalities but there is one thing they both think is great about their sisterhood. we can decide whether to be together or not but we know that there is always someone there if we need one who we can rely on one hundred percent exactly it's not easy to find a person you can rely on just anywhere. in the current line of work they need to be able to rely on each other one hundred percent true. but they're ok with not doing everything together in future. in mind our slogan is to do as much together as possible and as much
11:55 am
a part as necessary that's how i see it too. the minutes wins are so we choose with each other that it's difficult to believe that deliver go their separate ways. and before we go we want to remind you of this week's contest now we would like to know if there are any famous or successful twins in your country by going to our website where you'll find all the details and with that we are out of time well as always for me and the crew here at euro max thanks for tuning in and we'll see you again tomorrow. next edition of. a candle holder made of ginger a grape vine comprised of glass marble sauna in a bag has made a name as one of europe's leading illustrators oh she woke small with an on the edge of the berlin based on meticulous craftsmanship is in worldwide democracy the
