EBRU YILDIZ SHOT THEM ALL
2013-05-10
mega mail found me at the INDIE office. the brooklyn based photographer ebru yildiz created a large-sized black & white zine together with art director and designer yeliz secerli. flicking through the energetic images you quickly find out that ebru shot them all – yeah yeah yeahs, pulp, the kills, liars, girls, warpaint, tv on the radio, the horrors, sonic youth, ratat, azealia banks...
what's your favourite club in new york at the moment?
definitely bowery ballroom. it is just the perfect place to see a show, it has great sound and a good vibe.

which band that you've photographed had the highest energy level on stage?
I am always amazed with the different qualities of each band's energy on stage. I guess it kind of changes according to your interpretation of that energy. for that reason, it is incredibly difficult for me to pick just one. I saw Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds recently for the first time, and I could not get over it for days. my mind was blown. but their energy is completely different than Iggy Pop's incredibly raw energy on stage, how he does is beyond my comprehension. and there is of course Thee Oh Sees. their live shows have some sort of madness to them that is unlike anything else I've experienced. Ty Segall's live shows are super high energy in their own way and Shilpa Ray has also different type of intensity and energy. her voice has that mesmerizing intense quality. and for sure, I can't really end this list without mentioning one of my favorite NYC bands – A Place To Bury Strangers. you literally feel their music and energy vibrate in your bones during their live shows!
what is the craziest thing that happened to you while a shoot?
just recently I was shooting this canadian band called Metz.
people mosh like crazy during their live shows. I am not sure what
happened exactly but I think the bass player hit himself with his bass
and split open his forehead. it was unreal, I have never seen anyone
bleed so profusely. his blood was gushing out all over the place. it
definitely helped to make good photos, but when I got home, I realized my
lens and camera had blood all over! ah, also there is always the story
of me breaking 3 front teeth and fracturing my upper jaw at a show! but
let me leave it at that, cause it sounds better without the details.

ABOUT A GIRL – FRAU ISA
2013-04-15
it was end of last year when I've been to an art show at the adhoc pad that was run by wald und schwert, a project by frau isa and her fiancé oliver toman. since then I catch a whispering of the woods in form of one of frau isa's fairy paintings that carries her nostalgic characters and love of adventure in my place. read on and get to know more about the recurring themes of her light-hearted work.
fairy-tale
when it comes to describing my work I often use the word "fairy-tale". it is the best way to describe my idea of using dark content in my paintings to let them live. I try to get the mood of fairy-tales into my work but not the story itself.
vienna
Vienna is the place to be for me. I love the air of the city, it is very inspiring. I'm living here since 2005 and it turned out to be the center of my life pretty fast. I love traveling but I'm always glad to be home again.
the woods
one
thing I miss in Vienna is the possibility to run into the woods
spontaneously and being outside without getting in the car or on the
train first. I grew up literally in the woods, my parents bought a house
next to a forest when I was born. as a kid it was simply amazing to be
outside and play till the sun goes down. now me and my fiancé are trying
to be in natural surroundings as often as we can. this helps to push
the energy-level up up up.
nostalgia
since I was a kid I always wanted to live in another era, nearly in every age, but not in this very time. nowadays all is so fast and nothing is special anymore. but I guess past times are not that romantic as they seem. maybe that's the reason why I collect things from the past, be it clothes, teacups, jewelry or furniture. I built my own era including internet and iPhones and stuff.
my work is all about characters. I just can't imagine a world without mine. I invented them when I started doing graffiti as a teenager and since then they grew up with me. they became more detailed, cause I learned how to paint better, they were getting more serious, cause I got older and not that childish anymore (at least not all the time) and so they are evolving with me. and my idea of painting, it changes all the time, but slowly and smooth.

OLA PARA SIEMPRE. I LIKE THAT. WHAT IS IT?
2013-03-28
"ola para siempre" were the words of welcome of Sina Mejias' little brother on her short return after she had left her country Venezuela. now living at the Gold Coast she sews custom-made surfboard covers and creats super cute playing tents for kids.
what was your favourite hiding-place as a child?
my favourite hiding-place was under my mom and dad's bed.
what do you miss about Venezuela and what's just unbeatable at the Gold Coast?
what I miss the most is the food. man... that food is good... so rich and tasty... mmmmmm! the Gold Coast is a nice place. I guess the best thing about the Coast is its peacefulness and beautiful beaches.
what's your favourite book for a lay day at the beach?
any book is good for a lay day at the beach, specially when your boyfriend is a surfer and spend a lot of time in the water.

ABOUT A GIRL – MARGAUX ARRAMON-TUCOO
2013-03-13
Margaux Arramon-Tucoo draws her incredible fine lines in the water just as skilful as on paper. the curly headed french surfer and artist leaves her traces in many different parts of the world where she uses to call more than just one place home. her love of nature and her creative upbringing make her a fleet-footed and grand girl that strikes with grace and endowment.
at
the moment I am in France with my family. in a few
days I am gonna fly to Morocco to surf and to visit my second home. I'm pretty busy traveling this year, it is exciting.
your heart beats for surfing as well as for art. what is it that you got into both equally?
they balance my mind. they keep me happy and busy and they both go hand in hand so well.
your drawings feel very pure and direct with their subtle geometrical forms. would you say that you are reflecting this attributes as well?
I probably draw
what I feel just at that moment or sometimes my drawings reflect something that I've felt in the past. either way they are definitely direct lines from my mind.
I've discovered a beautiful zine you've contributed to that was created by Lauren Hill and Dave Rastovich. would you like to tell us more about it?
I
was staying with Lauren and David while I was in Australia two years
ago. I did some art on the rocks at their farm over there. Lauren
asked me if I would like to be part of their zine and of course I said
yes. they are so pure and have a lot of good projects.
when you are surfing it seems that you are cherishing every little wave with your toes on the nose. do you always prefer longboards to shortboards?
I started with longboarding because I've
always enjoyed smaller waves. last year I got into riding mid length
and shorter boards that my shapers made for me. they have a pretty classic surf shape and I have a lot of fun with them.
do you remember the first time when you got a wave?
yes! it was down my house with my dad. I remember standing up on the first one and since then I wanted more and more for sure!
I
usually put on my wetsuit at home, I listen to some music and I stretch a
little. I have to carry my board from the
garden all the way through my house which is a little sketchy. and then I run down the hundred stairs
of my home spot before I get into the water.
many people and brands collaborate with you. how do you feel about this attention and support?
I feel so grateful for what people have done for me and at the same time I am a little anxious sometimes about what's next. everything is
always so quick. like when I get to know that I'm
gonna go far away for a month two weeks before and that I have to produce art for this. you
learn how to adapt yourself to a lot of different situations. and I
think that's how I learn to collaborate with different people.
you spend a lot of time in california. what's the best thing that you take with you from being there?
my friends and my life that I have there and the waves that I get everytime!
which surfers and artists have influenced you the most?
Kassia Meador has influenced my surfing and took me under her wings very early. I got to do and to see a lot of things because of her.
and all the
artist I've met until now and the ones I'll meet in the future. everyone who is happy and positive because he does what he loves and shares this with other people.
please finish following sentences
when I am surfing... I get in another world
when I am drawing... I love the solitary I find
when I am traveling... I meet incredible minds
