a magical. and mighty dish of wine new cd box with the works by your hands the best in fact this is absolutely. first up is part one in this week's series bright ideas today we're featuring a special photographer who takes pictures of light and its many forms young velayat known as young leo nado plays with sources of lights using his camera to capture otherworldly images he started off as a pyrotechnician and his unique style his own to many admirers he's worked for brands like nike and diesel in the past and also collaborated with the u.s. band the strokes oddly enough the style that has brought him so much success was actually developed purely by accident. yeah isn't.

the hard part of life is that you don't see what you're photographing but you do a performance you move through the space but you can only see the moment at hand and not the finished product. works with pyrotechnics. he captures his light composition through time exposures he doesn't do special effects or digital photo processing the viewer is what actually happened . you can't see the result until you look at the monitor that's the biggest problem you can't see what you're doing you might compare it to blind painters they could sense what they're doing but they couldn't see it. every photo shoot is a performance. under the pseudonym young leonardo develop. photography

it involves pre-composed and rehearsed movements with. an hour to complete. born in nine hundred seventy became famous with his technique he's used it to make advertising photos from a international corporations it started with a chance. came to light art photography when i was setting up a time exposure in an old warehouse and they accidentally locked me in. i was setting the lights behind pillars and left the camera running. then i took the lamp and walked straight through the frame that made this fascinating white ribbon on my display. and i thought. wow what's this about. if. he still feels drawn to abandoned buildings and only at night his cars just big

enough to hold all his equipment several tripods various lenses lighting accessories a machine and of course a model. this time they're shooting in a world war two era munitions warehouse before they start college make sure there's no danger of collapse. and then he's got to set up the lighting instruments. we get so on i'm a person who loves absolute symmetry. and it would absolutely bother me if the shadow or ray of light passing through the fog didn't turn out absolutely symmetrical with the meter where he sees no limits to the potential of his ass if you runs into one as a trained pyrotechnician he simply develops a new lighting effect such as his light stand. it's a little case fitted with a stencil of

a butterfly that sends red flashes into the camera. and. the artist can use it to stamp glowing butterflies on to the him each. painting with light is a way of making time visible it means enjoying the freedom to make light of creativity imagination and the imagery of the mind visible through long exposures but among the finished product soon real images on a background of darkness began leonardo a pioneer of light our performance photography. and. time now to get all caught up on what's happening around europe and our express making stops in barcelona and moscow but first we head over to madrid for

russians just love bright twinkling lights maybe it has to do with the long dark winters there where for about three months the sun sets in mid-afternoon after work many muscovites like to take a stroll downtown especially on the course guy and street families in moscow it starts getting interest in the evening that's when the bus is always by a nikolsk us streets that. you. must ride no must must go by day and must go by night to two completely different cities you must go if you don't like muscovites day you absolutely have to see the city but i know there's. an essential part of moscow evenings at least for the kids there's a performance of the famed new orleans circus just a short walk from the kremlin. it's russia's oldest circus

the atmosphere on the red square and i like the way the people interact all the different nationalities and serves she red square is not only the heart of moscow but symbolically of all russia. its most recognizable landmark is the over four hundred fifty year old st basil's cathedral built to commemorate her victory over the town towers. sterling and seriously considered tearing it down in the one nine hundred thirty s. because it stood in the way of his military parades fortunately it never happened now it's a major attraction for tourists and locals alike you know what i'm married and have two children so i generally spend my evenings the time but my job brought in here tonight and i'm enjoying it and relaxing to. another place to relax is one of the myriad hairdressers. many of them stay open till late in the evening. of which include most of my working

day usually goes to ten pm but if it's crowded we can work through to midnight to get there when the phone was just. i love going to the stylist whether early or late in the evening but also for manicures or pedicures it's just pure relaxation i go when i need to move at any time of day or night. and of course there are countless beauty salons in moscow many of which are open to. force haven't. even on holidays. no i have been to demon during the day. i never make it here in the morning here i'm generally in favor of all the shops in the city staying open round the clock for the with of the sun. the shops along the new are bought to also keep long hours

this is a popular boulevard in central moscow and a desirable residential address sparkman's in the area even more expensive. not far away is our young day park a futuristic city park that opened in two thousand and seventeen it stands for the new moscow. the floating bridge reaches out over the river musk but doesn't cross it. the park's glass covered amphitheater can seat up to twenty five hundred people even when no performances are planned it's worth a visit the view is a pretty sticky. and if you have any extra for travel tips you'd like us to check out ahead of it while website deal that we don't call slash lifestyle where you can also take part in this week's competition would like you to sing the christmas carol silent night and your language of choice overall

it's been translated into one hundred forty languages so you'll probably find the right version for you. now to a delicacy that has long been farmed by trained animals rather than humans truffles traditionally pigs were used to locate this fancy funky but nowadays dogs dominate the truffle hunt they have more stamina easier to train and less likely to eat the truffle once they find it but where do you teach a dog the correct technique well in northern italy as a so-called truffle dog university that they need that of two four you've got to see it to believe it. these are not show average pooches out for a bronze in the woods the students at the truffle university they're learning to sniff out an edible fungus fruit squids that epic sharing in enjoyment the dean of this

unusual training institute in northwestern if you leap founded in eighteen names he is giovanni mancienne all. the good technical. knowledge or this work it's fun. he spent time together with dogs i love that. your instructor train the dogs is simply magnificent because it's a job for outdoors in nature in the open air but what more could you want to. be a boy and a. monkey hero is obviously proud of his work he's the fourth generation in his family to run the truffle university as part of their training the aspiring truffle dogs learn to sniff out the valuable white albatross full but stop short of teaching it by a big dig a little hole and drop the truffle in its own mane so the first skill you teach the dogs is to locate the trouble with their muscles they're trained to salute they can

only start digging with their parts about it and but this job takes a lot of patience. he trains the dogs in the woods around. piedmont region they're famous for their truffles the funky clothes as deep as thirty centimeters underground. and i. just look at our letters because they got a treat as a reward it with. the first basic training course takes three weeks. it's out there it's a kind of this is the third dog i've given to master monkey arrow for training he doesn't use any cruel methods such as withholding food from the dogs. don't step he uses. gentle methods to make them into genuine truffle sniffing champions. they've been able to become pilani puffin the training sessions can last into the evening fees for a crash course run to four hundred euros but the investment can return many times

that amount a kilo of the white albatross fuld goes to several thousand euros big specimens are extremely rare the harvest or sniffing season runs from late september to late december. the white album truffle is characterized by an intensive aroma that evokes romantic encounters and that's why it's so valuable in quantity got you can actually taste the woods and nature school on the border between the two just the one. this is highly coveted among khomeini's and monkey arrow make sure they're not disappointed. now for a bit of music from one of germany's most famous composers johann sebastian bach the bach archive in light sic has released the most comprehensive book set ever to be dedicated to a musician's body of work bach three hundred thirty three took two years to produce

and marks what would be his three hundred thirty third birthday of a two hundred c.d.'s with thousands of tracks pay tribute to the genius was works. famous german composer and musician johann sebastian bach spent much of his life in the city of leipsic here he earned a living composing weekly can tatas for st thomas' church it was here that bach created major vocal works like the st john and st matthew passion and the christmas oratory of. their total box composed nearly seventeen thousand minutes of music in his lifetime now. for his three hundred thirty third birthday the entirety of his works are coming out as a mighty two hundred twenty two cd boxset edition. the elegantly simple case belies its sumptuous content box compositions performed by

stellar musicians like violinist hilary hahn and others. ask it in a today's current month of course there are already so many recordings and many bach lovers will probably already have quite a few. tut's them is it but this is a complete recording of bach's works that not only includes every composition but several versions of them for instance historical interpretations experimental versions and the first ever recordings to this kind of variety is unprecedented to gets busy on a knish. the recordings were inspired by researched on that light six box archive it holds a vast collection of sheet music penned by the composer himself. musicologists spent years dating them. and now music aficionados can enjoy box

compositions in their chronological order and get a sense of his development as an artist over the years. revise what fuming now much more is known about when and why bach composed the can touches that he did and for water arrangement an occasion. johann sebastian bach created widely known pieces like air and many others he composed a total of eleven hundred twenty five works and set new standards in terms of quality. his music remains hugely popular across the globe to this day. so what is it that makes path so unlike any other composer he finds the knicker the richness of his harmonies the diversity of his melodies that's what you hear every day here on the market square street musicians constantly play air it has so much power yet such a simple melody but it has

a really very didn't rich harmony which is inspired composes for the past three hundred years taranaki and the mafia and even jazz musicians say was a pioneer gesture as were. the cd collection boasts numerous interpreter. nations of box works. for the first time ever it's possible to compare different recordings of the same piece the cd set also includes a new bach biography and essays on his works. they reveal just how differently artists feel about his compositions. for example american organist cameron carpenter. his music really has more to do with the organization of the natural world than something that's manmade i don't find bach's music to have very much humor very much sex if again it's it's nice to

find a composer whose music is somehow above the human experience. an orthodox organist must know he's one of the biggest fans around. for a final course was serving up a few tasty snacks in the form of landmarks five friends from a small town in bavaria came up with the rather old idea of building models of famous buildings using their favorite foods they've now released a book that lets readers guess what celebrated structures they've recreated using things like onions chocolates and sausage. arrange rice paper garlic and costly and you've got a miniature version of munich olympic stadium rusk doubles as rooms coliseum. while radishes and scrumptious skimmers the cheese combine to make

a mini guggenheim museum. these edible edifice is other brainchild of five friends who came up with a unique idea for a birthday present for an architect friend them on the picnic else we had a picnic and instantly had the idea to recreate famous buildings with food it struck us as a bit loopy at first but pretty soon we came up with all kinds of buildings we could create. they set up a makeshift photo studio and got to work on their first project the sydney opera house. finding the perfect building materials however it wasn't always easy. to run an auction we stood in the supermarket trying to find a perfect cucumber for london's gerken and realised they were a bit too wide at the top and it was quite an absurd situation in the shop. in the suburbs or maybe the car. in a four days the friends created and photographed forty five minutes of versions of

famous buildings like this a grout a family a chinese noodles are perfect for the barcelona landmark. and buffalo mozzarella has an uncanny resemblance to munich sunny and serena the friends now lovingly refer to the soccer stadium as the airplane a day. we've found the perfect mozzarella with a wife but things can get tricky with bananas when you're creating a mini cathedral of prison here or when the chocolate about minutes of your miniature golden gate bridge threaten to melt away. transforming this block of cheese into hamburger help for the money concert hall isn't easy either. the dark moment of time and i'm talking into a cheesy alley on serena then a dummy candy version of hundred versts a house followed by triple andrew traditional vice verse sausage can really give you an upset stomach and in the end we've been used the building materials for our

gate of heavenly peace to cook a delicious beef soup to add say a sampler to their friends edible architecture has now even been published as an illustrated book they plan to send architect frank gehry a free copy because they're rightfully proud of their take on his guggenheim museum in bell belle. that's all we have time for today but you can always find plenty more your remarks on our facebook and instagram pages at the w. your remarks join us again tomorrow for more european lifestyle and culture here on c w a lot from our. next edition of your. markets keeley specializes in taking pictures of the northern lights and lapland in his home country is the right place for him. but
