it's. history you know everyone has to sort of. he says that we have to keep this in. digital africa starts december twelfth on d w. i there welcome to a new week of european lifestyle and culture on euro max is a look at what's coming up today. see the lights our german photographer great spectacular works the special technique. night on the town one last post office time of year when the city becomes

a magical. and mighty edition of wine you see the box with books by your hundreds of best in fact this is absolutely unique. first stop is pop 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 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. medium is light.

is. the hard part of life is that you don't see what you're photographing 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 and. composition through time exposures he doesn't do special effects or digital photo processing. 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.

photography it involves pre-composed movements with. up to an hour to complete. became famous with his technique he's used it to make advertising photos for major international corporations it started with a chance discovery. 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. and 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 why does. he still feels drawn to abandoned buildings and only at night his cast 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 volage make sure there's no danger of collapse. and then he's got to set up the lighting instruments. good so on me i am 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. 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 the past

a fly that sends red flashes into the camera. the artist can use it to stamp glowing pacifies on to the mh. the 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 surreal images on a background of darkness again leonardo a pioneer of light opera performance photography. i'm 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

a birthday celebration. madrid's world famous prado museum is celebrating its two hundredth anniversary and festivities kicked off on monday in honor of the occasion king philippe the sixth and queen the t.t.s. opened a special exhibition titled eighteen nineteen twenty nineteen a place of memory. until march tenth one hundred sixty eight original pieces from the famous collections will be on display alongside pieces on loan. because. one of spain's most important politicians once said the problem museum is more important than the republic or the monarchy the soul of spain is in the museum and its paintings in. throughout the coming year special conferences theater and dance performances will be held in thirty spanish cities to celebrate this momentous anniversary.

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 gaius street families in moscow it starts getting interest in the evening that's when buses always play on the coast guard streets. you. must ride no must must get by day and must go by night to two completely different cities. if you don't like moscow by day you absolutely have to see the city by another. 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

founded in one thousand eight hundred. dollars a favorite with the youngest audience members of the clones. i wanted to see the circus and came early groovy clowns a funny sly look at the elephants that ability but sure best of all i like the way the dogs run around. a somewhat quieter way to enjoy in moscow evenings or rights is a voyage on one of the many excursion boats along the most one. many serve core main meals and fine wine to go with the view. a good place to disembark is near the kremlin. i always go for walks here in the city center i like

the atmosphere on the red square i like the way the people interact all the different nationalities and the sieves 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 tartarus. stalingrad 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 a line you know what i'm married and have two children so i generally spend my evenings the time but my job brought me here tonight and i'm enjoying it and relaxing. another place to relax is one of the myriad hairdressers. many of them stay open till late in the evening. the machine that was to my working

day usually goes to ten pm but if it's crowded we can work through to midnight to get the ok the phone which is 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 at any time of day or night. but it was a bit of. and of course there are countless beauty salons in moscow many of which are open to. four seven. even on holidays. you know i have a lot to diena 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 at a little for this night. the shops along the new are bucked also keep long

hours this is a popular boulevard in central moscow and a desirable residential address to the apartments in the area even more expensive. not far away is our young de parker 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 breathtaking. and if you have any extra top travel tips you'd like us to check out ahead of it while website deano we don't call them slash lifestyle where you can also take part in this week's competition would like you to sing the christmas carol silent night and

digging with their products. and but this job done takes a lot of patience. he trains the dogs in the woods around in italy's peak monterey they're famous for their truffles the funky clothes as deep as thirty centimeters underground. and i. just look at our teachers because they got a treat as a reward he would write 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 dog's. stead he uses. gentle methods to make them into genuine truffle sniffing champions. they've been able to become pilani up in 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

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 a. 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 that some she was content box compositions

performed by stellar musicians like violinist hilary hahn and others. ask even at 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 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 tickets but hear no nish. the recordings were inspired by research done it live six bottles 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. from wash revised when 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 a new career 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 did and rich harmony which has inspired composes for the past three hundred years taranaki and the mafia and even jazz musician say was a pioneer the mud's jesse. dark of. 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 organisation of the natural world than something that's manmade i don't find bach's music to have very much humor a very much sex 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 raw the 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 combined 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 trend them on the picnic else we had a picnic and instantly had the idea to recreate famous buildings with food but 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 the perfect cucumber for london's gerken and realised there were a bit too wide at the top and it was quite an absurd situation in the shop. goodness of birdsong by me because. in four days the friends created and photographed forty five minutes of versions of famous buildings like this a grout

a family chinese noodles are perfect for the barcelona landmark. and buffalo mozzarella has an uncanny resemblance to munich sundance arena the friends now lovingly refer to the soccer stadium as the at a nine day buffet. we found the perfect mozzarella with a but things can get tricky with bananas when you are creating a mini cathedral of prison here or when the chocolate abutments of your miniature golden gate bridge threaten to melt away. transforming this block of cheese into hamburger elk full of money comes that all isn't easy either. for that moment and i'm talking into a cheesy serina then or gummy candy version of hundred versts a house followed by a crow pork and traditional vice versa sausage can really give you an upset stomach

and in the end we've been used to building materials for our gate of heavenly peace to cook a delicious beef soup there was a sampler who 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 bel down. that's all we have time for today but you can always find plenty more your remarks on our facebook and instagram pages at d w your remarks join us again tomorrow for more european lifestyle and culture here on to the bottom out. on the next edition of your. markets killing and specialized in taking pictures of the northern alliance and lapland in his home country finland is the right place for him. but even here good shots take lots of patience for extra warm
