labs profit. centers village visits call the christmas at home in finance and. treasure hunt how experts of foods time and again by faith finds. and we begin by shedding some light on the subject of lumps to french artists based near bodo specialize in lamb so with papal mushy figures they both put their own creative input into them she brings the a to stick sides to the scotches and he takes care of the more technical aspects michael like meghan lee met up with them for a closer look. these figures are light as a feather that's because they're sculpted out of paper into feminine forms which resemble dancers. they're called man was and are the work of french artist sophie mouton and frederick di bruni frederick structures the paper and so she adds her

touch to it by creating the various figures. the pieces the point the electric parts inside the pleated section of the lamp and turning my. focus i think and sophie works on the personification of each character so he gets you do you. believe we both work on the concept of each lamp. have our own range of skill and expertise it. looks better. sophie uses a paper maché technique to sculpt the figures this includes the use of different types of paper and glue to hold it all together. she prefers paper to other sculpting materials because of its flexibility. the made in france label doesn't come cheap but their clients are willing to spend seven hundred euros and upwards

for a ham sculpted lamp. effect yeah. there are many different kinds of paper that i started out using old newspapers that i gathered up you can use recycled paper so it's a good paper to start with and it's also very light. do they think it's a lot of freedom to work at home that there's also a paper that's very valuable or there's a transparency to it or is it more of their papers that have a quality that makes some nice to work with and to touch and to mold. to share. frederick learned about lead to paper in asia their sculptures are a mix between art and technology and have made it to some of paris is best known addresses your book portray on the cover you we've worked on some beautiful projects for over but i knew we made that was else according to the ballets and operas. created ballerinas and dancers for the different performances little place

. architects are not always presented with an ideal scenario sometimes they are faced with great challenges but every problem has a solution as in the case of this family from. got in the south of germany they found a building plot for their new family home but in fact it was just a rather narrow passageway nevertheless they managed to come up with a rather clever solution as they explained in today's. the think family had been looking for years for an affordable building site near stuttgart. and then this one turned up. the plot of land was really inexpensive because it was unusually narrow. it's left over from a larger piece of property.

you know in the start of the year when the properties around here are quite expensive. but we found this site in a sling and. the used to be a driveway here but it wasn't being used so we got a good deal. of help. and that's how it all started. if you subtract the required minimum distance to the next lot the property measures four point seven. here is why fourteen meters long. i had to ask my husband you really think we can build a house here and he said i've got a plan and i said ok go for it the basic the law. for architect thomas fink this was an exercise in how to save space. we use the world's thinnest walls he's probably covered up panels such as six centimeters thick six in the middest ok . polycarbonates are thermal plastic polymers that are used in a wide variety of applications there are durable and in some grades translucent i

mean they often talk during the first couple of days the sun was shining and the front of the building kept making these popping noises because the material kept expanding and contracting and if there's a kind of spooky at first but we got used to it pretty fast. to. stop to think family home as a total floor space of one hundred forty seven square meters private rooms on four levels we kept construction costs woke. up to the essentials. that meant no expensive windows on the long side walls and no expensive interior construction just concrete and cement based flooring it looks like a work in progress doesn't linsley use the police to frame the surrounding countryside so the landscape is like a big old decorations and the scenery changes with the seasons you know ya just

like. at the front of the house they have a nice view and in the back a small garden the color scheme is just white and grey except when they light up the polycarbonate panels. you know my husband likes it i don't use it a lot except when we have company. so on a narrow plot of land the finks managed to put a house that lights up their life. believe it or not fake news has been around for a very long time throughout history experts have repeatedly come across fines which they believe to be a sensation until they were told otherwise now an exhibition in the german town of his time is dedicated to some amazing falsifying and sometimes they are just as exciting as we treasure. it was an archaeological sensation

in one thousand nine hundred sixty school diarra it was offered to the louvre in paris and it supposedly just been discovered and was sent to date from the third century b.c. the museum paid to record some for the artifact at first it seemed like a good investment of senior tavernise drew large numbers of visitors out of harm's way to i don't know but then a couple of archaeologists said the way the depictions i ranged is a bit unusual a bit awards. at the start of this call and one day a man from a desk named israel rushkoff ski came and said excuse me but i made that. district up in the past and they thought he's crazy he's just a guy from the countryside some kind of craftsman seeking attention and that's the stuff. unfortunately for the louvre the goldsmith was able to prove his talents by reproducing part of the g.r.

. to art dealers had commissioned him to make the piece based on historical drawings of the loom for quickly removed the object from its display and was subjected to much derision today in the tiara of so your toughness is regarded as the most famous fake in archaeological history. there were and then it's a museum and here at this time is now devoted an exit. bishan to stories like these . the show on errors and forgeries in archaeology features more than two hundred exhibits their history is often amusing and whitening and now more relevant than ever fed so much that we cannot spot in the food trees a clearly a very exciting topic fake and used every day we deal with fake news or not fake news what is facts and what isn't and it's a topic which people in politics science but in culture as well have to deal with all the telling and that's a most. so it's hardly surprising that mistakes are made. like in eight hundred

thirty eight when these metal pieces from an old bucket were mistaken for a priceless royal crown. and there was clearly some wishful thinking involved when bones allegedly belonging to the skeleton of the unicorn of peddling board were discovered in the hearts mountains in six hundred sixty three. using bones and tusks for mammoths researchers reconstructed the mystical creature that they clearly wanted to believe in man had. they kept thinking about what it could look like is of course no one had ever seen one in the side. so they were different considerations but it looked like a horse with a horn all something else entirely that's you of us with what we see here is a replica based on bones that really have been found though they weren't from just one animal but from several and. even god they'd been mblaq minutes including a drawing of the find in his standard work on paleontology the polymath fell victim

to a hype that began in ancient times and peaked in the middle ages and it continues to this day it seems that unicorns never go out of fashion. this isn't an archaeological error but it is the most famous forgery in post-war west german history the hitler diaries. in one nine hundred eighty three down magazine front for these fakes. and weekly news magazine paid an art forger a huge nine million dollars marks for the diaries before going public with their seemingly sensational find and he doubts as to their authenticity were simply dismissed until the diaries were exposed as fakes. the diary of an exhibition comes from germany's federal archives just one of the sixty volumes forged has been loaned out the scandal surrounding the fake their diaries certainly made one thing clear if it seems too good to be true it probably is

a lot of the good even though new facts are produced every day you have to deal with them in a critical way you need to consider whether the great story of being told is actually a fact. though sometimes fakes are at least as interesting as originals as this exhibition in him this time clearly shows. well the saying goes to humans and with that we wrap up the show for today thanks for joining in and hopefully we'll see you again tomorrow and of course in the meantime you can follow us on social media until we meet again from me and they can try out your mix and balance and i found out. the. next time on your own next attempt additional plays are clearly festival is now underway at a ski resort in the french alps the festival is widely respected in the film
