but joy can the incidents. that tear previously the earth was just in messy chemistry and that i probably should. be impossible. to get off the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like winning the lottery there is only. one from birth. starts feb 11th on d w. this isn't just whistling a happy tune on the spanish canary islands whistling can make up an entire

conversation. hi everyone and welcome to another fun filled edition of your own x. with me your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we've got in store for you today. in light of the ongoing pandemic fashion designers are finding new ways to present their collections. and we visit the studio of british artist capture excuse for a closer look at his optical illusion. but 1st we start off with a 12 year old german actress who has already put herself on hollywood's radar helena's angle has gained international acclaim for her latest role in the western drama news of the world with superstar tom hanks before making the film a single admitted she didn't even know who tom hanks was while now her role alongside him has earned her both a golden globe and a screen actors guild nomination we met helen as angle in berlin for a chat about her acting achievements so far and what's next for her. hollywood has

great expectations for this young woman from berlin germany's up and coming star is moving ahead with. a point it is really not saying it's right if ya don't bitch but on my meds you're not returning started showing up played the orphan you handily on bad in the western news of the world who grew up with the kill one native american people one day she meets captain jefferson call kid played by tom hanks the german school girl hadn't met the american actor until shooting had already started . the tough 1st time i met him i was in the makeup trailer getting fixed up for the shoot we were actually supposed to meet later on he just came in and i wasn't prepared at all and he said hello i'm tom hanks it was so overwhelming and at that moment i didn't know what to say and we ended up laughing about it

a lot. later even learned the keil well language for her role. playing buffalo. just heard. good. to put it. we had 6 weeks to prepare and all mexico before the shoot again a friend of god and then we had another 3 weeks training actually you know what an hour and a half every day after school so it was really important to me to learn exactly how derek to think that they felt morning sir and while high i think in a straight line you know and to learn about their culture and to love you can certainly the art one skill she didn't have to learn was how to ride a horse she's been doing that since age 4 on that score she was even quite a bit ahead of her screen partner but she also learned a great deal from tom hanks and gave me advice like always be punctual know your

lines and be nice to everybody. and you should always after helping our screen partner in the last scene for example where we both ended up crying he cried all over again and every time just so i'd be able to and i thought that was really amazing that he was able to keep doing that every time helena already has an impressive acting career behind her she 1st said in front of a camera at age 5 she landed her 1st lead role in a feature film at age 9 early on she tackled some extremely challenging parts. helena made a splash with system crasher impressing audiences with her raw energy she played 9 year old benny. as a visually traumatized out of control girl. the number of scenes proved extrude the challenger. no matter what you always have to

bear in mind this is what's in the script and the way the director wants it that's the role and i just have to do it i'm an actress and this is my profession because that's what the film needs if you're close with the people you work with well and you can laugh about things the chops not half bad. the drama one critical acclaim and over 40 awards and the german film award for best actress went to this part with your help called the keep on. really not saying. oh my god. the role became hellene as breakthrough for her international career. the director paul greengrass saw me at the 2090s berlin film festival and said to his assistant what she can do with her eyes and he thought it was just so overwhelming that he will fight it me to a casting call in berlin or well me and then to london then i knew i'd get the part done. helena spent 3 months in the united states to shoot news of the world

in that time she became close friends with tom hanks. was his role was kind of a fatherly grandfather was and he got to be incredibly important to me we still write each other very often and tell each other about what they're up to and yeah and that's really great that we have such a good connection now at 1st i never would have thought we could get off and what does the future hold. and well my ambition is to please myself and the audience just to make great movies and maybe have some impact on society or just various topics like in system crasher plus i'd like to have a star and a walk of fame but i think most important of all is to keep my feet on the ground and really clear idea of what i'd like to do. and news of helena's world just keeps coming the latest is that. she's been nominated for a golden globe. the show must go on even in

a pandemic therefore fashion designers have gotten creative with how to present their old couture collections at paris fashion week the shows were drastically different compared to past years with either no audience members or a limited number of spectators sitting at a distance so to increase the reach of their audience many designers have turned to making films for their catwalk creations then these fashion films are put on social media we had a behind the scenes look. this downer started fendi show in paris featured the likes of american actress demi moore and big name international took models like bella had lead to kate moss and naomi campbell. but there was no audience for press. in the uk could still buy so now was also presented in the car probably of paris in front of mostly empty chairs with just

a few guests present such as french actress says mother. and vanessa parodied who respected social distancing. fashion journalist godfrey demeter watches the could 2 shows online on his computer but how to create the house to develop. of course the whole point about big fashion shows is there are probably good raw material for social media. never mind the magazines even if people don't buy from a ruthless look at why so big shows are being driven by social media. so they have to create something also thoughts bush tax cuts. french model leads do you see beneath doesn't think this all could to show by chanel is much like a normal fashion show either to station or use normally we get one shot at going down the catwalk in front of a live audience pumped with adrenaline and all worked up backstage about facing the

photographers and journalists see what this year is much calmer if you can we do several takes so they can be edited into a perfect video. the new collection from the your was presented in a high quality 15 minute fashion film that took 3 months for your designer. and italian director mattie good on there to produce. a region designer julia for me has also the. my director when he specialized in 11 years ago one of his dresses would go for 40000 euros or more and despite the pandemic he hasn't seen much of a drop in sales even if his customers mainly from the middle east and asia are currently looking for somewhat less extravagant clothes and his 9 minute fashion clip boasts about the same budget as a fashion show but making a film is more work. and if

a show is much easier the clothes are already on the can for about 13 minutes models just have to walk in a film on the other hand they have to really act they have to decide with the camera man what scenes you shoot and how and then comes the editing process you really have to direct the piece keep your best they don't have a disaster so that if you got a show you do a traditional catwalk and just walk in a straight line but in a film i can express myself and i like that better ok fashion films has become a dedicated job with some brands such as gucci now showing a whole series here is a scene from gucci says. her fashion companies such as sauna all have stopped organizing any shows and are relying exclusively on social media with creative films the decks designer dual victor and wife is presenting their new up call to a collection in an empty art center just outside amsterdam they say some changes

are here to stay there or change and. it's all over where is the importance of social. standards. should we speak your words so. therefore for. fashion films will probably never come to completely replace physical fashion shows but brands have proved ingenious in finding creative ways to present new connections and they will not hesitate to tap this potential to wits focused. now you may think that is a bird tweeting but actually it's someone who whistle and most of us whistle for pleasure or to get someone's attention without thinking about a deeper meaning but did you know that whistling was developed as

a way to communicate over long distances on the canary island of whistling is still used to communicate and it's even taught in school you know max reporter hendrick belling traveled there for a firsthand lesson. it. sounds like bees turned off be heard on the mountain. but the islanders on just whistling for fun they're communicating with one another across great distances. but to be honest i haven't understood anything but that makes me sort of curious because that's the way how people can communicate over here unbelievable i think but a good reason to listen a little bit closer. i set out with your dad just to discover the secret of the civil camaro the west of language of the volcanic island.

america's the 2nd smallest of spain's canary islands an archipelago in the atlantic some 1500 kilometers from the spanish mainland. the island distantly populated with a scattering of little mountain villages and estimated 20000 people know the wistful language the unusual way of communicating originated in these mountains which up to 1500 meters high opinion that he has heard of his grandfather's go belly. whistled language was invented because of the island's geography. you know it's hard to reach and has many gorgeous. made it easier for us to work with the livestock you know we didn't have to walk up and down the mountains to talk to each other anymore. we could just do it by

wessling from on high. civil masters like when your dad yes can make themselves understood at distances up to 3 kilometers the tradition dates back thousands of years but the advent of mobile phones eliminated the need for this form of communication and the whist of language seemed doomed to extinction yet today young people have rediscovered for themselves. but i'm here he. said it will go by all means and not tomorrow because it's kind of a heritage and culture and it remains an active part of our lives to this day. i learned to whistle when i was 6 years old and i grew up listening wherever i go whistling is a part of me you could say it flows in my veins and it's very important to me. it's my turn to try. sadly i failed

utterly. so i set off in search of a teacher in sons of us john de la camaro the capital of the island with a population of just over 9000. but i don't have much time to take in the sights i have to get to school. the special thing about the metal is that is even taught as a compulsory subject in schools here that's unique in europe and my chance. so i'm back in the classroom my one on one lessons begin with a greeting. good day i'm kiko carre and we're on. the way to do. the wall movie he told me no union. was. the book. he said will go marrow in its present form is based on the spanish

language the sounds of which are condensed into a few was looking notes to 4 volts and 4 notes for a consonant context helps clear up any misunderstandings everything you'd like to say with speech you can also say by whistling for example my name but on cisco i can either say francisco or whistle it. in 2009 unesco declared civil camero intend to google terror to a sculpture commemorates this centuries old tradition and inspires me to give it one more try. ok it's much more difficult than i expected to communicate only by whistling but his very 1st amazing to listen to those old traditions at least aspects of a thing as a landscape in which serve america was born. and

you can see more of hendrix whistle ing adventures on our you tube channel. next up we are going to get a new perspective on art with a british painter patrick hughes now he is known for his unique 3 d. optical illusions and not only did he invent the technique he also invented the terminology we met up with the artist in his studio to learn more about his view on a reverse spectrum. seclusion is on 3 dimensional surfaces. they play with trap a zoid and perspectives to trick the viewer into seeing what's not really there. british artist culture cues calls this reverse spectacle for the 1st perspective the painter developed the technique itself. it's extraordinary because it uses

you to create the movement. to make the moves with the machines inside but my makes it work by having you move the painting seemed to me. he's got a team of 6 to support him in his london studio the actual creation is a very simple process. it can take up to 3 months to complete one image. the 1st step is to build a 3 dimensional base out of wood. then patrick you sketches out his ideas. he uses a computer to project his designs onto the canvas then he and his team paint the pictures and oils touch excuse likes to reference the work of other artists we choose by pursuit paul because people like him and i quite like i'm not mad about him i quite like his. logic goes there wools though any

graffiti os would prefer to work in a concrete but we like to make. here patrick use details his vision of venice. he feels quite inspired by it he's clean of the adriatic. and appreciate this it's made already in perspective this is small of this it's very difficult to my eye and the. so i. 1234 will move against the sky and the end of the judaica across the lagoon on the water here so you see it in a stage now where we've painted the pole outside and they will appear to turn against the background move as you move and who move in synchronicity with

yourself like the perfect spot. patrick hughes created his 1st reverse effective picture in 1964 and called it sticking out room. but not until the 1990 s. he set himself to perfect this painting technique. the work titled jazz from 26 teams made him world famous. and mostly draws inspiration for his projects i mean architecture he sees all around. when i was a kid i used to think why aren't buildings like apples old peasant horses more imaginative but i don't i don't think. in there in the end buildings are boring you've got to make them alive you make them interesting. the sizes of the reverse effect of works very greatly. as to their prices.

some of his pictures have gone for as much as 160000 euros. my work is not just visual he's physical it's a combination of the whole person is for 2 feet and you knees and your legs your body and your stomach because you're. so although of course being an intellectual and salt is all in the mind is actually all in the mind on the ball. the more perfect feel lucian the more complete the experience patrick hughes creates fascinating perspectives on our world. moving on now to something sweet and as you can see i am standing on the skyline of copenhagen well this one among other famous skyline serves as an inspiration for baker maria trott skya she loves architecture and baking so she figured out

a way to combine the 2 into tasty desserts well the results are quite mouthwatering . the skyline of copenhagen the eiffel tower in paris the sydney opera house and park well in barcelona these edible works of art are the creations of maria trucks going. yeah i'm primarily interested in the artistic aspects which it's a kind of performance but for originally the 25 year old studied architecture in moscow and paris but in 2012 she discovered baking and it became a passion now she mixes her 2 fields of interest and she's found definite parallels in the process. just be a deal little crowded they're often i shaped the casing by hand but i use the mousse like concrete in the other so i can poured into the form just like concrete . or i use the 3 d. models and fill them with our ag are

a japanese jelly where form isn't it i've still got i've got a. car copenhagen berlin kate is especially elaborate and took 3 days to complete it's made of short crust pastry with nuts chocolate sponge without flour coffee mousse and a glossy glaze made from salted caramel the optical highlight is the chocolate skyline. what's important is that the landmarks of most cities are recognised. this danish german cake is the pastry chef best known dessert to date it was a special request from a customer who loved both european capitals. are going to copenhagen berlin cake has many textures and one such as chocolate coffee and like your so it's something for real men were. not baked version of st basil's cathedral of her hometown moscow was of course a must see the shape of a cake is just essential to her as its taste each recalls the flavors of the

respective country was a was moscow tastes like the typical. eastern european blend of spices but combined with something light and fluffy like a butter cream. it may consist of very simple ingredients but still tastes soft and silky. while i.q. is. very also interprets the taste of famous architects like this cultural center by renzo piano as a special flavor prevailing. this hotel in spain is a designed by american architect frank geary it served as a model for this apple cake with the songs the pompidou in paris hazelnuts and caramel dominate the complex of flavors absolutely french according to maria. and the famous veins by finnish designer all of our alto has a taste quite reminiscent of nordic countries blueberries no matter how simple or

complex your creations work on every new cake begins with a sketch much like they just signed for a new building would this person is comparable to the i think i've invented a new profession pastry architect i sit betwixt and between i'm not really one of the other well i haven't designed any buildings for some time and i'm not a proper pastry chef either in and i'm not going to be interested in thinking only about recipes and degree and this is the only goal even so maria gives the ingredients high priority and uses only top quality products she brings some of them back from her travels to france for the united states it doesn't seem to bother her that her artistic creations end up being devoured. that's the most important part of the taste is everything. and with that we're out of another show now don't forget to check out our website
