artist from the netherlands. great getaway portugal's island tazer region is a fantastic place to chill out. sometimes the best experiences simply happen by accident and that was the case for finnish artist rita eichmann and how she wanted to create a project combining nature with elderly people but she needed a photographer and some senior citizens who were willing to pose so she did what any logical person would do she did a google search for photographer and grandmother now the results can be seen in an international photography exhibition called eyes as figures play. at first glance there's unspoiled nature. but a closer look reveals a solitary figure at one with the environment. picture in the eyes is because plate series transports viewers into a different fantastical world. cherilyn if you aren't from norway

and from finland have traveled the world staging scenes with real people in natural landscapes they were inspired by norse legends and myths. many in the beginning of the project we were looking at. not. so we were trying to see how how could a rock be alive how people explained different dangerous. and then from there we made the leap. of talking with people all over the world into imagination and how you connect. the two artists work on each picture together like here in iceland. rita makes the portable sculptures one occur alina is responsible for the photography.
12:33 am
they work with amateur models who don't get paid for their participation. most of them are retired. but they. would have the sense of freedom when they. they have experience and they have a lot of stories. maybe just more interesting people just tend to find their models by chance or. sometimes they advertise. from iceland. she responded to an ad in the paper four years ago. the human being and may. be. trying to go. time.
12:34 am
since twenty. photographed more than fifty people in more than ten countries their project is not just about capturing the moment in a snapshot each photo shoot is different and often involves more than just our. social club. some kind of. i it maybe it's some kind of adventure club yes that's a good one venture that's what we do it's great that we show these people having so much fun it's group that isn't seen so incredibly explosive really fun loving it's not only seen as quite adventurous and we enjoy that. the two women show their works all over the world right now they have an exhibition in. their pictures have
12:35 am
a strong following online as well they've been able to raise enough crowdfunding money to publish a book which like their project is called ice as big as plates. it's actually from a. nordics ok but that was a crawl with the ice the size of plates but then there's another mention too that the people we meet through this project they have all this open spirit and very curious soul so it's seemed fitting that they have this open to. the artists are also interested in their models personal lives which inspires them to choose the setting for their photo shoots. and we're trying to figure out how we relate to surroundings and i think we might have to go on that quest for quite a few decades more so i guess it's
12:36 am
a little bit more humble towards our surroundings and learning from a stranger. is his biggest plates carolyn new york and rita you can inspire people to pause for a moment both those in the photos and those who look at them. and now on to a young a dutch talent who is trying to get the general masses excited about art and laying on care counts as one of the most important three d. street artists in the world and as you'll see in our next report there is much more to his images than meets the eye. artworks that keep you guessing they play with the viewers perception sometimes appearing so real that it's uncanny these are all works by dutch street artist leon
12:37 am
cheer he's built a fan following all over the world despite the fact that he has no formal training he primarily follows the rules of mathematics. at school was very good enough and that's what i never knew what i could do it like i find it the kind of use this dinner and all these kind of formula us and all these kind of techniques of mathematics but now if you see this. you see this author again you are basing with where you feel like i know that you know that you also need it. aside from mathematics his computer is also an essential tool that allows him to play around with the perspective in the two dimensional images he can then reproduce the images on the ground so that they look perfectly three dimensional in his latest work he's painting three identical girls sitting on a landscape of melting ice. as was all three d.
12:38 am
images for the spatial effect only works when you're looking at it from the right angle . seen from the side the picture looks distorted and does not immediately make sense. you have the most challenging part is that you have to convert your two dimensional sketch into a to said three d. distorted image so you have to distort it very very widely and in the beginning of the painting so when you're standing close if you want it it's ok that the distortion but if you are further away from the fuel point then you have to distort it even more. a line of thread serves as an invaluable aid throughout the entire process it simulates what will later be the viewer's line of vision. giving here the necessary orientation as he paints his distorted image on the ground. a regularly checks the results of his work from the designated viewpoint. to ensure that his works are not immediately washed away by the elements he uses acrylic
12:39 am
paint rather than chalk. on every stroke and every press stroke you make good you absolutely have to be aware how it looks like from that's viewpoint so my my body could be dare painting on top of the painting but in my mind these had a few points. here first took up three d. painting ten years ago and he's been perfecting his technique ever since he now spends ten months of the year travelling around the world producing to do artwork every week. like this one of the world street painting festival in the dutch city of our new. works by artists from all over the world will be on display here until september third it's likely unclear they're all able to live off their work throughout the year there are numerous three d. street art festival so especially in europe and the u.s. . it is popular because of the internet and i guess everybody one still want to be on the. on the picture and take
12:40 am
a photo share them on their facebook or media and therefore you will get a lot of light. once he's finished he marks the ideal spot for the viewer to look at the painting it's taken him four days to complete this one. like all his works it's been designed so that people can become part of the three d. image when they pose for photos and. play on cures next job is already waiting in norway his work and our numb will survive for a few months until the rain and the street cleaners let it fade away. my focus is on creating a base and when it's and when is there when is the final result i take a photo put it on the net but i don't know get it anymore it's just i'm focused already on the on the next software and that's going to be even better bigger.
12:41 am
his artworks on the street may have long since disappeared but they live on in the internet and on the smartphones of passers by the world over. and now for a sport that is uplifting to say the least indoor skydiving now inspired by real skydiving the allows you to forgo the parachute and jump out of an airplane because it takes place in a vertical wind tunnel now maya couzin scott of poland has been at it for four years now and we met up with her in her hometown of watts laugh. this floating dancer earned by a place in sports history with the first ever title of junior world champion in the
12:42 am
indoor sky diving. the air in the wind tunnel blows it up to three hundred kilometers an hour yet her every move is perfect. the wind doesn't bother the seventeen year old polish athlete she likes it. obviously it kind of feels like sticking your whole body out of a moving car playing it's just the same kind of like air pressure but you can control it so it's like super cool because whatever you do your body does in that area in the space you get. she takes her moves from other sports. fast dynamic twists come from figure skating. long stretches and figures from acrobatics. when my it combines them it looks like she's flying. her favorite figure is the pistol. she devises many of her moves in the tunnel
12:43 am
because she has a completely different sense of her body when she's airborne. like that i don't know on the ground. really. so we're flying it's not like you don't catch translate anything from grounds to fly there's no like skills that except things like flexibility. she was inspired to take on the sport by her father a huge fan of extreme sports. maya joined him for her first parachute jump when she was just ten years old. her father supported her from the beginning this sport isn't exactly cheap fifteen minute. in the wind tunnel cost up to seventy euro's in poland my has been training several times a week since she was thirteen indoor skydiving has become the focus of her family's life. and those of the systems built on those things but i do this sport too.
12:44 am
but i'm sure someone tried to accompany every step of the way. meyer trains outside the wind tunnel too and completely without professional coaching. i don't really need it any more i could come up with my own things the people who are at the top of the sport right now are at the top of the sport so we look at our own routines and we are the best judges so we know what's good. lives in what's called and she has a tight schedule she rarely has time to stroll around in town every weekday she's in school till three o'clock then she trains or has media appointments. on weekends she often travels to competitions. there's no time anymore for leisure pursuits. i do miss it sometimes but i think what i'm doing is worth.
12:45 am
the media and social networks celebrate my as a prodigy. her performances in the wind tunnel or follow the world over some seventy thousand fans follow her on facebook. she took third place in an international championship this year but her ranking isn't all that she's interested in. i want to try to gravitate to more dynamic type of flying i want to be able to show really beautiful moves but at the same time mix them up with like super dynamic fast moves just you know have like my own different style. a veritable star of european indoor skydive. achieving a michelin star status is a goal which many chefs work hard towards now this profession is still tends to be dominated by men but now the number of female chefs achieving michelin stars is on
