world of 27 year old julia goody law. the italian artist self portrait of fascinating assyria listen to me is like the liberation of the unconscious. so i like to put surrealism with photography because it's my way to bring my ideas to life. so it's something that just exist in my mind that i actually might not to make it real good. even though often goes browsing through the antique and vintage shops of camden passage, north london, a native of italy, she moved to london in 2018. i moved to london because able was dream to move to a big city full of artistic opportunities actually where i come from, i'm afraid to say that there is not much space for creatives like me. and here of

course, creativity is always around the corner. she likes to take on different personas and uses everyday object to evokes to real worlds. her creations combine elements of theater, graphic design, and photography. on occasion, she collaborates with other artists from europe, the united states and japan. for some of her portraits, julia greenow research for artificial body parts of the kind typically used in theater and film. she calls in ages project. i'm old is many people told me that my war kits quite disturbing. and i actually want to find the balance between the beautiful and the star being. so for me, it's important and like to provoke our reaction as a sort of shock in the mind of the view were i wonder if you were to confront themselves with like their deepest fears or maybe desires

it takes her about 3 hours to get dressed, made up and do her hair for most of her tableau. julia green no often appears in the guise of adult, suggested by her. no. though my yard name is pretty dull because i'm quite petite and old. so because i one to simulate the appearance of a dull as you know, in the pop serious painting of see this, this dolls. and i think it allows me to create these kind of dream is to know rios and also a race question about what is real and what is not. she tries to stick as many artificial is to herself as possible with children. the right makeup and outfit is crucial in all her projects.

julia gorilla completes, most of them on her own. occasionally, her partner might lend a hand the decline to translate verbal expression visually bringing out both of funny and the metaphorical. i started to share my work on social media and now i think i create a kind of community and i like it because it's like a digital museum when you can showcase your work and have people's feedback. but at the same time, it can be like corrosive. because i feel like artists have to adopt every time to new trends. in addition to photography, julie ugly, no has been experimenting with videos on social media. now pity to dawn has almost $200000.00 follow is on instagram. and she's wrapped up millions of these on tick tock. i like to think that everything in life can be art even, you know,

the most simple things. so i can see art in everything and this is why, for me, art is not something complicated. this that goes on for julia gray. lo revealing this real in the every day fed achieve is an essential part of greek cuisine. but in order to be called, fed up, the cheese must consists of sheeps or goats milk. and it must be made in grease. now there are lots of fakes out there. but for the latest edition of our series food secrets, we went to greece to see how the real thing is made. ah, yes, linda bought 2 different fed has never taste the same in greece. if it's different,

if it comes from a place by the sea or from up high in the mountains in the northern, think on albano. ah, if at a militia as part of greek culture, we used that everywhere or do i i well, i mean he had jamante, he must be the latest headaches were last. we've been running this harm for 25 years and produced by the cheese under the brand name. i grew up d my the a month ago. with barbara le any vos milk is the basic ingredient of feta. because you need good milk for good fatal hope are we must our hurts, go up the mountain every day and graze on the best tubs like that. oh miss oregon are time on the minute. sage and wild on it, i must call no,

it helps the animals produce rich mill mill. she'll and the conditions and the stools are very good. ah, the animals are happy about it. bob law let make them milk. very good. meaning, we get great photo gallery that'll put this, it would have in a political fiber bo, gullible, it takes 3.2 to 4.5 liters of milk to make one kilo theta. again, up over to used to be called fit. i it has to be made of 100 percent sheets. no god can consist of up to 30 percent. go now that's a couple years ago. my father, he fed though the milk milk affair contains the multi count and firmer. it gets a lot of speed, but i know the whole kits, pasteurized. we bathrooms, so, but here the milk is pasteurized or 20 minutes at again, 5 degrees celsius to obtain a safe final product locally or summit. then we let a 1000000 cooled down to 36 degrees and at the random if we have one, we start and wait for it to think it down. mesa fun. i got this one other one of x

it be getting interest of my heath. it ran, it is an enzyme, and young goats stomachs who have only drunk milk so far. and then with the goats have yet to consume any grass or they can. that lends the fed a tank flavor of a minimum. but if we could have them use your now we wait about 20 to 30 minutes for the mil to thicken up so we can cut it and put it in the mole is like under with been with did obama now? we take the cheese curd from our plot and pour it into perforated mooney the other thing we drain the moisture that way and just the fur material. remain sil. mm hm. it has a limit right now. we continue with salting. we use course. great. and so, and i think it makes up about 2 percent of the feder he bought, this is called dry salting. we'll take us all of a look at all as well. so that definitely the if the salt gives the better its taste and protects it give other we sprinkle salt on the surface and that way that

slowly penetrates into the core of the feder oliver suggestively. never add salty milk, a breath. after one hour we turn over the moans without me or if we do it again in the evening. and then tomorrow morning, the sultan continues neglected to get his lover's mother. after i do this 3 times until we can take out the cheese and move on to the next to me. when i hear you can already see how the fled is nice and firm. we then cut it and put it in the canister ill. so what was the one with the so then ago we put the fed up into the container original loan and add unpatched her eyes to brine, containing 12 per cent. was all his vidrowskow, mildly yellow. being able to get together aloud then it's off to the agent. room to snow. here begin. the fellow motive must become garcia. they got along the fence is the word of abraham degree celsius for about 15 days. a lexical beheld the cheeses, b h value changes, and the brian penetrates deeper into the cheese,

making it develop a stronger acidic taste. eversole joselyn with well now we go to the final step in the refrigerator. we'll see you the fed us days here for at least 3 months until it's ready for sale to life. some of them age here for 6 to 8 months. say you have, you had 2 to 6 degrees celsius. you're full of o. v of of moves. they will say either physical science is where the final aging phase occurs. also been, so that all the longer the fed is stored here. what are the more p content becomes a and in my opinion, go, that makes it taste better? because the cool j, if you're, if you're so fi and mega ah, europe is home to some 50000000 muslims, and the mosque is central to their religion. well, modern european mosques have notable aspects of their construction,

which differ from those in muslim countries. these diverse structures really caught the eye of german danish photographer, a current, mad cows. and after he converted to islam in his early thirty's will, since then, he's been on a photographic journey to capture their unique architectural features. ah, the oriental ornamentation intricate calligraphy and a magnificent chandelier. all play park and german, danish photographer, catholic crawls and fascination with the architecture and athletics of copenhagen's grand mosque. ah, but to him, any mosque is a very special place in moshe fussy and a mosque. i mainly drawn to the tranquillity. that's one here to war. come come one here that you can calm down here, coffee. read the calligraphy fuss and maybe strike up conversations with fellow

muslims. mostly. it's chris christ. crating is a part of it. of course, the church model for us, but also finding peace here and just enjoying the surroundings and nation dealing long and is la mic architecture in europe through his lens has become the photographer's ongoing project. so far he is photographed over 70 months in more than 15 european countries, including germany, italy, spain, and the united kingdom. his also published his photos in a book. mm hm. so what differences has he noticed compared to moses in the islamic world? his car with us to you. i think the mosque is in europe or more modest and smaller than those and muslim countries. of course your home as as to solution a devout muslims pray 5 times a day with men and women separated. most always faces the kaaba in mecca, the central shrine of his love, you are the most, are usually not allowed to make

a call to prayer of loudspeakers and for quite some time, no. the mission was given to build minerals. the towers with the coolest made from the growing number of muslims in europe has meant that many musts are now easily recognizable from the outside loin. we're down. we're seeing here. martin. no modern mosque was here in denmark, half a permission to build minarette. this was, it was, it wasn't always that way. it was last year when the 1st mas was built outside copenhagen in 1964. when was explicitly forbidden. but today, thank god, it's gotten better dunk, bas overboard. i can't ask miss crosby and grew up in a conservative christian family in athens, west germany. in the late 19 seventy's, he travelled through asia and africa and it was on this company tift that he learned about the islamic faith in 1992 in his late that he's, he converted to islam. photography has since become

a means for him to reflect on his identity as a european muslim pumpkin mac. does his irish. i realize that this is actually what i'd been looking for is european islamic architecture. zilk. i liked it so much. i immediately fell in love with these mom just holler that they are my mosques and my great passion. when a quarter day to day he is and mama to photograph, one of sweden's oldest moss is none extent a nama was built in 1984. this is where the listen community comes together to pray and socialize. crossen is taken pictures of the must be full, but that was over 20 years ago. you still missed my he a. com or him, which is when i 1st came here to photograph the mosque, back in 1999. these minarets didn't exist. discovery walker only the prayer house and this courtyard here. these are 4 who just a tribute court art is

a typical feature of a model more thank can be found everywhere in muslim countries than people meet and gather here is before entering the mosque, color prayer. bunch based on the animal shakeed with them to be images of fis, on the many of the mosques that echoed osmond carlson has photographed of the past 2 decades has been sent in several exhibitions. ah, his but include some of his personal favorites. ah, ah, i know the place where she is to my favorite mosque is the one in bella rues, does it get it from wish this yellow mosque here? simply because yellow is my favorite color. that's why i told us my newest project as a danish book on a day, and that will be even more detailed and beautiful than this one or fewer to show or not sure, i was just returning to his adopted home in copenhagen and cut off with crawls and

continues his ongoing project. he's not only hoping to process his own story through photography, but also to help combat prejudiced against muslims in europe. it's easy to be enchanted by travel pictures we see on social media sites like instagram . but once we get to the intended destination or the notable landmarks really photo worthy, we thought we would put back question to the test with a photo tour of berlin. and you'll be surprised by some of the things we discovered . the brandenburg gate, the villain cathedral, and alexander plus these but then landmark feature in thousands of photos posted on instagram and they always look amazing. but can reality live up to the glamorous depiction on social media? it's time for a reality check in is by far the most visited city in germany. in 2022,

an estimate of 10000000 tourists came to the german capital and they had many voters box to choose from, including the cities main landmark, the brandon bouquets on puppies plat. it looks great on the instagram, but how about in real life? and what if you catch it on a gray day with hordes of tourists in front right next to it the famous hotel oblong. kaminsky is another instagram, hotspots, chef, concierge, ya, him link knows the spot better than most of us both. if you know it's a special place, i often snap outside to look at the last sun rays coming from behind the victory column. and the way that's a very beautiful scene, i'd say, motifs, august, 4th. but despite the throngs of tourists and bad weather, it has to be said that the brandenburg gate is indeed a pleasure with the most popular instagram is the berlin cathedral and its adjacent lost gotten the 120 year old church as

a venue for services. concepts and even acts of state. it's the largest protestant church in germany, but unlike most german churches, tourists have to pay an admission fee of $9.00 euros to enter. money well spent. if you ask a beetle, pastor me, child cursing mornings and not kind, took a spend that morning when there are no tourist center cathedral organ is just practicing. it's filled with music and sunlight, peak on phones on the list. it keeps amazing in my own law place and i sit down and view and look around and just feel great home safe and that switch me to my debunk and shaw and can you said us been gone stumped by our conclusion. the been and cathedral also lives up to its, picked up perfect in for an image. and it offers great views from above all to votes. berlin's famous tv talon, the family term, as it's known in germany, is another iconic berlin symbol. it's the tallest building in germany and tallies

over the busy alexander plat squared. but the filtered snapshots don't show that in reality. alix on the plots, also known as annex is a busy and fairly gritty in a city square, which is why on the alexander knee and off comes he often to do of an outreach work on for mr. alex englishman's into summer. me, alex is a very interesting place because people from all walks of life made here, but slowly unemployed people, managers, eurocrats and social workers like myself. what does reviews street workers it's out of. i thought there are people of all ages to see it either. that's what makes the place. so interesting, saunders, i so much happening here. in short, if you want to get to know the real berlin alex is the right place. but if you only want to see the beautiful sides of the, then you might want to spend your time elsewhere

spinning straw into gold that only exists in fairy tales, right? but something similar happens in the craft of straw market tree. that's when straw like this here is broken off in process, so it ends up shimmering like gold. it can then be used as an in lay in furniture. now this technique dates back centuries and it's almost a forgotten art. but in paris there is one woman who embraces this craft to the point of perfection. oh, the thought that straw could shine so bryce and be so versatile that thanks to the artistry of liaison to cook. ah, because he is a hammock of marcia when i really became interested in strong market trade. no one knew much about it. it had fallen out of fashion, but i just fell in love with the material with straw lee, it's a crush, highest endured for over 30 years. chand appears on your pit popped up, showed up,

and i'm live on the car straw marker tree specialist i restore and create objects and straw by ah, this craft has been practiced in europe since the 17th century. rule is split, flattened and affixed to surfaces like wood for near using died and lateral straw. modern design objects with luminous surfaces produced that leaves on the cold pear studio. ah or think you will believe it will you furniture and wall coverings all falling down and from time to time, special orders fabica and all like disco, fred, which i'm doing with an artist named pierre marie. nice. of course. i think he designed this little box with its crazy patterns that i really love making is that a man is, will quote, the thought the rice straw she uses comes from burgundy in central france. the rise,

storks can grow to be 2.5 meters tall. after the harvested the store was cleaned and dived different colors at her workshop, the stalks are split, open and flattened. the stores coated with the silica a natural varnished that makes it glossy. is glance at what makes this material so extraordinary is this silica which makes it was repellent within your or put water on straw marketing. and it feeds are better and stronger. strong matching bagging bye, much stronger than you might think. you're on thought that little, even a 2 star restaurant in paris, boarded these room dividers from liz undergone. they create a special cosy atmosphere which kiss appreciate. oh,

look of joseph goose, said he's on the couldn't give his many people know that listen to con, made these offers. what folks like most is that it resemble sunshine. just these kinds of lines change color according to the intensity of the light and the daylight. we have our yamil, you ross, you can a she tobii of feet. skin is one of the few other crafts women in europe working with straw mark a tree. she has her studio in berlin, blue seaman, france from b lafelle to western germany also makes hard from straw. she learned her craft from liz on the cold. when working with straw patience is a virtue, depending on the complexity of the pattern, it can take up to 7 days to complete a one square meter surface printing on it as it happens, it's quite repetitive,

and i'll call you glue, glue, and castle glue, glue, and cut my lead on that you need to be passionate about the material, incense, its qualities, the luminosity and very sensual nature. when you touch it by you. but i like and this is draw mark a tree, requires patience, precision and passion. that the a real interest in the material of that nature just like back in the 17th century straw mark a tree is still all done by head and just like rumpelstiltskin, these cross people can turn humble straw into gold with. and that brings us to the end of the show. be sure to check out our website for this week. so viewers draw and a chance at receiving some items from our d. w. uncensored collection. with instructions on how to access unblocked media around the world. as always, thanks for tuning in and we will see you again sue with
