the iron works on its pipes gratings and silos. they print out the photos in extra large format in their berlin studio they've been working in the streets of various cities around the world for the past twenty years often without permission now they've been invited to exhibit at the urban heart began ali. we're always looking for objects or architectures that are three dimensional or a least some kind of perspective or depth and space so we won't produce a flat image or a portrait. so we'll be able to create a photo sculpture so. one of the portraits is of project manager hentai kasten would have photos were taken of me from every side or from above from below that to make the worse faces and then they decided which ones to take and that's what i look like. since this kind of photography is

a bit merciless on the skin and so on women are somewhat more critical than men but i think they can live with it probably. martin while an artist from france is also here posting his art he's chosen a hut where workers once took their breaks and artistically processed nine hundred seventy s. german posters about safety in the work place. this is where i work with smaller pictures that i can send through a fax machine so they come out with visible pixels then i paint a larger version of that. finally i add god the signal colors to the images here. are all the evil. another hundred or so works of urban art from twenty countries are set against the imposing backdrop of the charge hall once a storage space for raw materials for the iron works. street art.

that has made its way onto campus. it is an art form that originated on the streets a street art among friends and. it is art that has come from the streets far off to initially these artists were arrested as vandals and locked up in prison. almost i'm eventually these street artist began making art and portable surfaces. build of so that was the beginning of the urban art to be an early be an all or street art took a new direction towards the museums and we've been exhibiting this genre ever since . wish to mostly. urban art be an alley and feel clean and shows that many former street artists are on their way to securing a place in the international art market.

when it comes to design there are many trends to follow this year marks one hundred years of bauhaus design which was defined by clean and simple lines then there is minimalism which rejects lavish and highly decorative styles in other words less means more in the mean time on the complete opposite of that spectrum there is another movement that embraces abundance it's called maximal ism here more really means more with bright garish colors matched up with lively and decorative patterns this is how it works. bold colors bush waves more passion misspend shows us how she's decorated her london apartment in the back some a list style long live abundance decorate till you drop.

some of this is my colorful polish and color makes me happy so a key thing with some of this movement is mixing mixing color mixing pattern and bringing together a lot of objects. up there we have bottles and there is not just one not just two there's like twenty two so rather than be tane i think . take it to the. group partment is full of unusual objects all have a special meaning for. misty post images of her maximalist ideas on social media lastly thanks to the internet the british born trend is spreading like wildfire. interior designer and also emily henson says when it comes to living trends over crowding is in her latest book tells more so i have noticed

a change from neutral tasteful almost like scandinavian style interior towards more colorful pattern for. homes i think much. is about breaking the rules i don't think it has to be good taste i think it's has to be your taste. a growing number of shops in london are adopting the more is more style and carry a range of fun pieces from across the world. the search for the origin of the maximalist and trend leads emily henson to add a girl a her own store. design is one of the styles pioneered. by her mixes the old with the new and doesn't shy away from playing. anything that kind of you know raises the hots and makes the heart skip a beat you're creating this really happy space so i get such a kick out of people coming in and they immediately smile and i immediately makes me happy because it lifts the spirits and that's what interiors should do they should make you feel happy in

a place that you never want to leave. because her lives in the nineteenth century terraced house her trademarks are a dark color palettes extravagant accessories and in new york thanks texture combinations. that still isn't bricks many widespread design conventions and her knows how interior design influences the senses and you have less to come in it looks lovely. pared back but you're done you've read it whereas here my eyes over here and it's over here in all of that school and it's over there and it fills really engaging and exciting and that's why i'm so obsessed with this whole maximalist laurie small thing it's a hard look to pull off because there's a really fine line between making it fail over the top crazy. at the design of his house me seem clotted but in fact she follows rules she's devised himself so the rules for me are don't use more than three or four colors in

a room because otherwise it just is too schizophrenia for the brain. lighting is fundamental texture and pattern are a bit like a hope and a spice for maybe and then the biggest thing that scares people the most. playing around with. pieces in the smallest space creates a fairytale atmosphere but is this just a short lived trained or a real alternative to minimalism which is dominating the past decades so i do think it is not a trend it's not a trend i think it's a difficult look to pull off and people are scared of doing it i think gaining momentum i don't think that you can feel completely happy when you have one table a few chairs around i'm a load of white paint. that would be amazing if our house could just literally go and scan the minimal could go and if all is war and maximum could stay for another hundred years because i think if we all embrace more is more we would live in a happier place. one thing is certain if you want to express yourself to the full

and be creative maximal ism is the way to go. does look like a hard look to pull off but if you want to get some more home improvement ideas then please check out our facebook page ok moving on now to a favorite drink in germany coffee it said the germans drink more coffee than beer if you can believe that well a good cup of coffee of course depends on the beans here in europe there is just one coffee growing area which is located on the island of gran canaria its fertile soil is conducive for coffee growing so we visited a boutique production company for a lesson in what makes a good cup of coffee. harvesting coffee on the canary islands but how can you tell when a coffee cherry is ripe for picking up. your max recorder hands like that ling

area is on gran canaria the third largest of the canary islands they belong to spain but are located off the northwest coast of africa. the valley where the coffee grows extends to the village of. it's a volcanic island so its soil is very fertile the valley is home to rich vegetation especially at higher elevations the coffee plantations here are not monocultures though. cattle and citrus fruits are cultivated to prevent the soil from becoming depleted. but when memo to progress the armada quality of the coffee is highly dependent on the soil and the climate precipitation the change in temperature has to be that all of that has an influence on the coffee plants and that's what ultimately determines the taste of what winds up in your cup that you're not really followed in. with it's twelve hundred coffee plants the think

a lost cause daniels is one of the biggest plantations in the valley although the entire region only produces around fifteen hundred kilograms of coffee per year the drop in the ocean compared to global production figures. but here the focus is on quality not quantity to achieve that great care is taken during processing. here for instance the coffee cherries are dried for twenty days on outdoor racks antonio marquez turns them several times a day. everything that there were there. are different ways of drawing the fruits on the set of them but here in the canaries the humidity and temperature are deal for this. is the most natural process the red fruits are dried by the sun and the wind alone.
