Video: Foggy Studio for Anzas Dance Studio

Actually, you need freedom to dance, you need space. However, dance studios are far from always able to afford large sizes. But, even if the area of the room leaves much to be desired, it can always be increased, at least visually. This is what a Japanese architect did. Yohimasa Tsutsumi when creating a design for Anzas Dance Studio.
Mirrors in closed rooms already quite "expand" the space, make it visually larger, almost endless. But all this is an illusion that easily breaks if you look closely.
Fog is another matter! Fog generally destroys such a concept as "space". It greatly affects not only visual perception, but also other senses. It is not for nothing that the artist Olafur Eliasson creates installations in which he tries to disorient a person with the help of fog, to make him feel the world in a new way. Just remember his joint creation with Ma Yansong called "Feelings are facts", which is a room with a curved floor, filled with colorful fog.
But when creating the interior design of the Anzas Dance Studio, the fog effect was used by Yohimasa Tsutsumi for completely different purposes. Moreover, for two at once. First, he wanted to get rid of such a phenomenon as "walls" altogether. At least on a visual level.
And secondly, the architect decided to emphasize that dance, and especially ballet, is an unearthly art. And therefore the people who are engaged in it, in fact, soar in the clouds, are the inhabitants of heaven.
Of course, Yohimase Tsutsumi didn’t have a chance to demolish any walls, and didn’t have to buy a smoke making machine either. He achieved the fog effect by using a white gradient on the mirrors. And this gradient, starting somewhere at the waist level of the studio visitors, goes up, creating the impression that the people in the room are in the middle of a real fog.

The foggy splendor of watercolors by Arusha Votsmush (Alexandra Shumtsova)
"The paintings of this master will not leave anyone indifferent. They are so good that I could marry them," said my colleague thoughtfully, looking through a selection of amazing watercolors, the author of which is the Sevastopol artist Arush Votsmush. A healthy sense of humor gave him an exclusive pseudonym ("Arush Votsmush" is Shura Shumtsov, on the contrary), and an absolute talent - the ability to transfer dreams and dreams to paper, as well as fairy tales and other stories, which, if they were real
Choreographer Igor Moiseev and his Irusha: Dance, like fate and destiny, like dance
They lived together for more than 40 years and all this time they held hands, trying not to part for a minute.

What stories from the past are told by foggy watercolors from the creative tandem of St. Petersburg artists

The creative couple from St. Petersburg Svetlana and Sabir Hajiyev is a vivid example of this. And today in our virtual gallery there are unusual works of talented masters, made in oil in those

The author of circus-themed photographs Rob Tarbell is himself in some way a trainer. But, unlike people who tame wild animals, Rob Tarbell is dealing with an even more wayward ward - smoke. The latter does not exist without fire, which is very difficult to subdue. This is why flammable photographs are created in a completely isolated room. It's bad to joke with fire, but a serious attitude to this element promises artistic discoveries
