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. 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. makes the portable sculptures one occur alina is responsible for the photography. they work with amateur models who don't get paid for their participation. most of
12:33 pm
them are retired. but they. are within the sense of freedom and they have been. there comes a point where they have experience a lot and they have a lot of stories so maybe just more interesting people just tend to find their models by chance or by visiting senior citizens homes sometimes they advertise. their lives from iceland has posed for them twice now she responded to an ad in the paper four years ago. being a nature rearm all their spin. training to go. it's. time. since two thousand and eleven carolyn to. have photographed more than fifty people
12:34 pm

12:35 pm
money to publish a book which like their project is called eyes as big as plates. it's actually from a folktale and i we've been 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 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 being
12:36 pm
a little bit more humble towards our surroundings and learning from our strangeness . which i is his biggest plates carolyn new york and rita it can inspire people to pause for a moment both those in the photos and those who look at them. and now onto a young a dutch talent who is trying to get the general masses excited about art 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 play
12:37 pm
on 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. and that school was very good in that and that's what i never knew what i could do it and i find it the kind of use this dinner and all these kind of forming us and all these kind of techniques of mathematics but now if you see this. they see this author again you obviously with the way you feel look i know that you know that you also need it aside from mathematics his computer is also an essential tool it allows him to play around with the perspective in a 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. images for spatial effect only works when you're looking at it from the right angle
12:38 pm
. seen from the side the picture looks distorted and does not immediately make sense. to have the most challenging part is that you have to confer joy through dimensional sketch into it is said treaty distorted image so you have to distort it very very widely and in the beginning of the painting so when you're standing close it if you want it it's ok that the distortion but if you are further away from the fuel point where 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. he 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 paint rather than chalk. on every stroke on every
12:39 pm
person you make good you have to you 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 my mind is at a few points. here first took up three d. painting ten years ago and he's been perfecting his technique ever since you know spend ten months of the year travelling around the world producing into artwork every week. like this one at the world street painting festival in the dutch city of arna. 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 specially in europe and the u.s. . it is popular because of the internet that everybody. wants to want to be on the. on the page here and take
12:40 pm
a photo share them on their facebook or social 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. leon cures next job he 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 piece 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 awkward that's going to be even better bigger.
12:41 pm
is artworks on the street me long since disappeared but they live on in the internet down on the smartphones or passers by the world over. and now for a sport that is uplifting to say the least indoor skydiving now inspired by real skydiving it allows you to forgo the parachutes 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 indoor
12:42 pm
sky diving. the air in the wind tunnel blows it up to three hundred kilometers an hour yes her every move is perfect. the wind doesn't bother the seventeen year old polish athlete she likes it. honestly it kind of feels like sticking your whole body out of a moving car like 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 the 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 pm
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 the fly 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 minutes. 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 on those things but i do this more to.
12:44 pm
observe so i try to accompany my every step of the way. maya 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 and watch what 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 point and. 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. 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 tough like my own different style . a veritable star of european indoor skydive. and she being 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
