can an environmental catastrophe still be stopped 77 percent. 60. total. i'm sure that it was almost drowned out. in support of. what saving what's able. to do we want. to. welcome to a walk in the dark find out what these 2 were talking refers are looking for in the forest later on in the show. hi everyone and welcome to this special

edition of euro max as we explore the mysteries of the night i'm your host mainly here's a look at what's coming up. this german artist it manages to see the fun steam . and a look at an old submarine bunker in france which has a magical charm of itself. but 1st nightingales aren't the only creatures inspired by the night for their songs many musicians are also the most creative when other people are tucked away in their beds and that includes a danish artist obols for her latest album myopia she withdrew tourist judio alone except for instruments and composed during the night for 2 years but the results are melancholic pop songs but since the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to her world tour we met up with the singer and songwriter in berlin to hear

why she prefers to create her music in the still of the night. when night falls in berlin and his old world starts getting creative. and. the danish musician wrote most of her new album mail here at night she walked the empty streets of her adopted hometown berlin in search of inspiration do you. think i like the night because. i in a way turned. into other 3rd so. it's also a time when you're alone with your own thoughts he can't run away from. sort of the

moment of truth and i. 'd hope will compose his her songs by herself in her private studio. can get this feeling that you are left all alone and everybody's forgotten about here so in a way it can feel completely left alone in the way and i think i like that after making music. she often starts with an improvised melody. 'd wrote that i thought oh my god that like

a story like somebody. telling a story like this to. construct astore around a melody and then there are holes. in the system that have jumping with it i'm going to. give you what i mean there we are all the artist has released 4 studio albums since 2010 she hasn't burned up any charts but she's gaining a worldwide following with her delicate often melancholy songs they've been streamed millions of times. a week she often writes her we're excusing our special technique putting them up on a corkboard. come. and found this technique you know start with the songs sometimes has the line just one line can take ever.

and cleanses will make. and sentences i feel like work within the song. she complements such classical instruments as the cello when piano with digital effects in her compositions sometimes her pitched voice just barely recognizable. often she spends months polishing in honing her sounds you know when you 1st. hear her song and somehow. just that close to that and maybe over at something else to plan. and then have. for live appearances she

arranges her nocturnal solo sessions as concert pieces to be performed with several accompanying mists beersheba hearses for a tour that was interrupted by the corona virus epidemic we have been playing with other people. and they develop also on your ideas and you have like and that's a real rudiments of p.h.p. . and feels like it's not a community so to me something real tangible. ever recorded day or night on a school transports listeners into a world of your only training sounds.

the artist and our next report has put paid brushes aside in favor of light as his medium instead the work of have yet reality is based on geometrical light projections on various landscapes and then he uses photography to capture the images which resembles something out of this world if it sounds complicated that's because it is but we met up with rare in madrid to hear more about his artistic process. 3 dimensional sculpture holographic these terms describe the light installations by had the antietam geometric shapes of the spanish artist's trademark he projects them onto landscapes with astonishing results as the song or moment or so i'm always seeking these almost magical moments in my works as the interview you know i'm trying to find out whether there is a harmonious relationship between geometry and nature some morning. you know

something a harmony that would move us emotionally and which goes beyond our normal perception of nature. riyad as career began in 2008 with a large solo photography exhibition in the rain as sophia in madrid since then he's carried out like projections in numerous public spaces and festivals. these installations are more than simple entertainment for him. looking one through sometimes i feel the sort of reverberation which goes beyond our daily perception and beyond how we normally experience nature say more than i was then there's not a lot those moments are precious and very fulfilling for me is. beneficial to and i'd even go so far as to say i live for these kinds of experiences. bebo borders

said people experience is. elemental tranquil and any magic that still the artist experiences unspoiled nature he tries to make this sensation visible in his projections and takes large scale photos of the results. that are not. at 1st glance the viewer sees these 2 crosses at 2 deaths. but they are actually part of a cube the corners of which i've removed. as he'll. but there's a shadow of that cube in the viewer's mind. and in a similar way there's an enterprise between the projected form and make sure you know. after finding a landscape vienna starts designing his geometric forms in his madrid studio they follow strict mathematical rules he wouldn't think of using image editing software

to superimpose them on a landscape photo he works on site. your syndicate. remember me the right geometry compliments the place. you can do that on a computer but when i finish the geometric form it will look like there's a key to another dimension you can't get that effect on screen and you have to be in the place and experiment with the shape on site. yesterday mintaro physic i'm. the editor usually works with standard projectors which he arranges and adjusts in his studio to test out his projections on walls. this gives him a 1st impression. but about a water of course us prepare everything as thoroughly as i can but then when the distances are much further everything might change. sometimes the image on site

will look completely different than what. tonight's conditions in the mountains outside madrid are ideal thanks to a full moon of yeti yet it has a natural light source for his long exposures together with his artistic process the resulting photo acquires a magical quality. we turn our attention now to another artist who like the musician on us all well uses the night as her inspiration german painter zilker silk aboard heads out into nature after dark to as she puts it see the unseen well even in the dead of night she still manages to bring nothingness to life in the landscape around her we went along with her to witness the results. silk asuka borg works through the night doors. equipped only what a gas lamp

a compass and a paints and brushes she seeks isolated spots where she can paint the night sky. while most people lie snug of their beds she gets to work sometimes 3 or 4 nights a week the circumstances allow. the property off the list but i often ask myself why do i paint the night. but it's simply a realm of experience that daytime can't offer all the things i see in daylight or just so much destruction. at night to see more surfaces than textures i see more nothing than anything. it's the. feeling that it's a seer and so i have the freedom to interpret it any way i want. the subject she's painting this particular night is the vast complex of the law in the works there leipsic with all its refineries and chemical plants.

why not join is just so extremely illuminated. it's lit up like a festival benoist long. now many places are truly dark at night since the introduction of electric lighting cities and just real areas are as bright as day even in the dead of night. this light pollution or light smog the strips are sleek and the saurians many nighttime creatures. walk i mean violent i feel ambivalent about light smog because from an artistic perspective i find it interesting and attractive. but from the standpoint of reason of course i know it's a disaster but of course. the buildings of a former cotton mill in leipzig provide space for artists like the internationally acclaimed painter nero. borg also has her studio here she generally doesn't

show up until the afternoon she sleeps through most mornings and often will make it to bed before 4 am the next day. the works that take shape overnight in the field get their finishing touches here. these are all. bank when i start out i think this is crazy what am i doing this is absurd. but when i'm on site i forget about all the effort and i become part of the night. i'm absolutely fascinated by how the night swallows everything up looked on and suddenly makes the 10 people become intangible. when soca 1st started painting the night 10 years ago she was trying to find out how to perceive the surroundings. later she better own lightning books and paper the night sky in

various places from portugal in the south of europe to denmark in the north. with dark ties in with a long tradition in the arts. silk of silk aboard can't even imagine painting anything but the night she'd like to put the northern lights over iceland unconscious. on the luminous and seeds off in the knees or the darkest nights of africa or the bright star me skies over the atacama desert in south america. to paint the many faces of darkness you'd need more than one lifetime she says. if you would like to see longer versions of our euro max reports including travel videos and adventure sports then be sure to check out our you tube channel here's a closer look at what you find there. want to learn more about european lifestyle and culture. when you come to. the euro max.

tend to about the older and more derelicts the car the better. like this ford town a 17 m. from the 1960 s. abandoned in the middle of a forest. doesn't strike in this and it's quite emotional the cars have personalities a voice a face and eyes and that's why i feel closer to them than to other objects somehow . and they're a bit like skeletons like you find in archaeology the remains of a car with. this is when it's white and at some point so i thought this was like a 2nd skin for someone. cars in their final resting place the 2 photographers have even published a book with 110 photos of forgotten car wrecks. they found them in abandoned garages barns and backyards amongst other places.

and théodore got to know each other while studying photo design in the late eighty's. they are always hunting for new motifs for their lost cars projects together. as photo stories around the world sometimes staging fast cult cars. to flown takes photos for companies and experiments with artistic concepts. the lost cars is a joint project which sometimes requires long trips. they keep the exact locations to themselves. as we need to keep the locations a secret because otherwise the vultures will be circling the wrecks with the popular rare car the danger of it being taken apart is very real body stripping. it's true that. looking for car wrecks is often detective work on site. like here in the i phone south of

cologne who have received a tip from a friend that an old ford town us disposed of sometime in the seventy's is supposedly located somewhere close to. there was no waste disposal here we would always it wasn't picked up the list up there is this village's dump site a few people used to dump their waste there if you keep going down this road used to be a really big dump site there they dump everything there is in cars bicycles anything . is missing today this would entail a hefty fine us of the if you put it. in the twilight hours the 2 photographers enter the forest. and move and meet the darkness for their photos. only then can they completely control the lighting using torches and remote controlled flashes.

going through that is going to give you that there's a certain dramatic atmosphere about the situation which you want to support and at some point you realize that it's really beautiful to eliminate the interior of cars because they seem to come alive. here to a bar takes 4 shots using time exposures. the camera automatically lays them on top of one another. known shines lights from different directions this analog technique is called light painting. it was as though all of the i have to make sure to create shadows was to illuminating all of this in order for it to get properly outlined. fashion a book on. the process takes about 2 hours. the next day and théodore studio in. colona the finishing touches are made to the photo . just a little brightening is necessary. other of facts were done on site.

of a done all of this can be worked on and we can create a reflective contemplate of mood. for thoughts a little bit apocalyptic this. rusty rock rediscovered and brought to life one last time before it's sent back to oblivion. and finally we head over to western france to dive down into a former submarine depot back in 1041 german occupying forces began building a gigantic structure in the port city of bordeaux and almost one and a half 1000000 tons of concrete were used to create it well it remained disused and an eyesore for many years and it was a bitter reminder of the war for the residents of the city but now this massive complex has been given a new function and is the setting for an amazing light show known as the best santa

lumiere we take a closer look. night . and co-create they come together spectacularly in bordeaux's best sound then yeah well basins of nights. the opening exhibition pays tributes to artists who stuff clint and clearly this it is to the multimedia show can immerse themselves in their acts. i see that this is my 2nd time at the exhibition it's magical just magical. dimensions only not just you know can really immerse yourself in the zombie arts when you're in the dark surrounded by the lights with fabulous contrasts of color and also classical music it's just very very beautiful. it's a rehabilitation of this place with a magical effect. the concrete giant evokes negative associations for many of

borderless residence built by the germans during the occupation in world war 2 it provided space for 50 nudge submarines. now the structures being completely reinvented 12000 square meters of projection surfaces complemented by reflections of the water give the interior in a a fairy tale lightweight hapless fare the conversion cost over $14000000.00 euros. the 1st time i saw this building i was just overwhelmed by its gigantic dimension that slimmest and by its unique atmosphere mysterious almost frightening it's not at the same time poetically that inspired us to do something with it right away it's a challenge lay in confronting this gargantuan almost hostile place with the aim of staging really impressive exhibitions your nose on your. 600000 cubic meters of

concrete 20 into the structure. it covers some 10 square kilometer is of water. installing sophisticated audiovisual technology here was no simple task. and if you do so there are over $100.00 video projectors all of them are concealed from view and that was pretty complicated because of their heavy and had to be installed in the basins at different heights do it. now knights in music dominated venue that once stood for who and destruction a structure with a don't history has been given a bright future through angst. and that some research to the submarine pens for over 10 years. after world war 2 with the bunker was forgotten it was a kind of poisonous gift to the harbor and the city and had virtually no function

at all it just took some time until the turn of the century before the people of bordeaux could reconcile themselves with this former submarine base. today it's a very distinctive feature of the city the wonder the ball but. it's a feast for the senses and a concrete example of how it can give even tainted locations new perspectives. and a feast for the senses indeed and with that we round off the show but before we go don't forget to check out our website and follow us on social media for the latest from the world of culture and lifestyle from me and the rest of the crew here aaron thanks as always thanks for tuning in will seek answers.
