a steady hand and hand. it took over 6 different workshops and 6 weeks to make these christmas angels. they're known as the green jaime sion angels and are recognisable by the 11 dogs on their wings. they've been made for more than 100 years. and so i'm kind of share a town in the mountains about 60 kilometers southwest of preston. but what makes them so special designers, i especially from their design, is truly timeless with your present. and they have this innocent and carefree look hide. that is clearly one over people's hearts the help. soon as i mentioned, the life event in tune have created some 2500 figures. to date, the treasure trove of models and technical drawings is carefully guarded. demand has always been, i want, disney was a fan in the swedish royal families to collect them today. the company insist on making the angels by hand a while back is since the company was founded,

everything's been made by hand, so as it couldn't be made any other way. i'm just conduct guns and you can do a lot with machines, but you're never going to the same attention to detail as before. so the once out you can see can only be done by hand expansion on the christmas. the angels are also connected to a story about strong women and emancipation. but more on that later every angel starts with a piece of wood from regional trees. the what turner's workshop is that the heart of the process with a delicate individual parts. but the figures are made, the each angel consists of 14 elements or more depending on the design. working as a wooden toymaker is a profession in its own right, involving vocational training. as

you can see how the little individual pieces fit together to make a complete figure, that's what so impressive and exciting about at the end of the day. and you'll see what you've accomplished. at the end of this, part of the company was founded in 1915 by 2 women. create an event in margaret to clean. at the time they were the odd women out later agreed to and her sister in law always determine the state of the company. for decades, the angels appear to 1923 achieving international renown and 1937 at the world's fair in paris. in winning a gold medal, the angels design has barely changed in their 100 years. and they've always stay true to their or mountain origins. as didn't have to do that, they were inventors who were trying to create something new. the impact noise to it said that when they weren't invitations, because my grade and would say, okay,

standing in front of the big orchestra with the big choir during these huge, beautiful music. so it was always been the scenes. the very early age now, 27 year old as lawn has done it. he's conducting the berlin radio symphony orchestra, performing his 1st composition g t young. what i do for my 1st opera, as you know, my music have been performed and, and so for me it was, it's, it's really overwhelming. only a couple of decades ago, elaborate classical performances were unthinkable in his home country. the country on new car dates independence in 1990. and there was quite a lot of restrictions and seeing that contributed a lot in, in, not having good and maybe an i'll try it on. and also seeing most of the composes that really started coming up with started coming up from 1990 after the

independence. the only protel's of no maybe is culture and history in the 19th century and its relationship with the former colonial power germany we don't really know. i was college where we come for my wife tried dish and so we don't really know about that. so i wanted to write something that would trigger, then that means to go and find out about that as loan him doing to started the joints and then maybe in term and project with german director can me other maya in 2019. they assembled a team of 80 people consisting of choir orchestra and creatives with one lost the im, creating this world of to, for young well together and to make it really. and that may be in german, german that may be in doesn't matter who you are, whether you're german and everything and everybody plays everybody. but in the days of being able to tell the story, that phone goes the color

would have to be the collaboration between the different cultures and the exchanging that we do as loan him doing to was born and raised in vin. took no, maybe he studied singing at the college of the arts and i made the music at the audio and school of music in south africa. ready ready ready ready in 2015 she began composing karl music. he was himself a soloist, and that may be a successful country youth choir. while touring, he discovered his month upon per a we went to america, and during that time we were chosen uh to, to either go to a mall or an ultra hollis. and i chose to an oprah us. and since and seeing how this thing goes with singing, seeing how, you know, in the most uncomfortable minute. yep. creating these amazing. so i decided that i would love to continue doing b. as long as you do, does work also addresses the crimes of the german empire in maybe during the

colonial period. a fact still rarely discussed in germany. i realize that these stories of the colonial is also very important because a lot of us do not want to confirm the post. but i think that is very important that we really confront a policy in order for us to move forward. just like this project that is happening with and it may be in german cultural cooperation as long as indeed do has created a courageous work. the italian art is julia reload, creates the real world sit, are fascinating and somewhat disturbing. we take a closer look now it help her works, are created an ice cream bar to sink your teeth and 2

fingers and cigarettes trade places. this is this, the real world of julia agreed to the italian artist. self. portraits are fascinating. the serial isn't to me is like the liberation of the unconscious. so i like to put to really isn't with our fee because it's my way to bring my ideas to life. so it's something that just exist in my mind that i actually want us to make you 3. 0, do you agree to off and goes browsing through the antique and vintage shops of camden passage, north london, a native of italy. she moved to london in 2018 i'm up to london because i've always been moved to

a big city if one of our facilities is actually where i come from. i'm afraid to say there's not much space we're creating like me in here. of course, creativity though with around the corner she likes to take on different persona and uses every day objects to evokes the real world. her creations combined elements of theater, graphic design, and photography. on occasion, she collaborates with other artists from europe, united states and japan. for some of her portraits, julia incorporates artificial body parts typically used in theater and film. she calls her latest project. i'm all ears. the many people told me that in my work it's quite disturbing. and i actually want to find the balance between the beautiful and the start being so,

so for me it's important like to provoke our reaction as a sort of shock in the mind of the view where i ones, when you were to come from themselves when they like their deepest fear, so maybe desires it takes her about 3 hours to get dressed, made up and do her hair for her photo shoots. the julia often appears in the guise of a dog, as suggested by her known. the name is betsy though, because i'm quite petite. and also because i want to simulate the appearance of adult as you know, in the book series painting is it, is this, those. and i think it allows me to create this kind of dream is scenarios. and also arrays. question about what it's real and what is not. here she sticks on as

many artificial ears as possible. this point to the right, makeup and outfit is crucial in all of her projects. julia toledo completes, most of them on her own. occasionally her parts and i'm like linda hand the artist likes to translate verbal expressions visual, bringing out those to whimsical and the metaphorical. i started to share my work on social media and now i think i create the 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 our teeth have to adopt every time to new trends. in addition to photography, the artist has been experimenting with videos on social media. now petite dog has

over 250000 followers on instagram. and she's racked up several 1000000 views on tape talk. i like to think that everything in life can be, are even, you know, the most simple themes. so i can see arts and everything, and this is why, for me, art is not something complicated. and so she continues to look for this real in everyday objects. and with that, we wrap up another edition of your emacs. be sure to follow us on social media for more from the world of european lifestyle and culture. as always, thanks for joining us and see you again next week the the
