Exploding flower arrangements, meticulously staged scenes of beautiful destruction, haunted landscapes, still lives brought to their sublime end as if a host of angels unfolded their terrible wings just a bit too close.... Ori Gersht's photographs are unlike anything you've seen before. Gersht was born in Israel in 1967, but has lived in London for over 30 years. His photographs, films and books are concerned with the relationships between history, memory and landscape - and with the way we still look at photographs as giving us the 'real,' although we know the naked eye cannot perceive what the camera distills.  We were absolutely thrilled Ori was willing to answer the questions first made famous by Proust. He's not a Romantic, really, but as close to a mystic as you may find in today's world of photography and art. His website is origersht.com, and you should absolutely check it out.  /////////////// Follow us: TWITTER - @ulibaer / @corklinedRoom INSTAGRAM - @uli.baer / @carolineweber2020 (PROUST QUESTIONNAIRE PODCAST) - @proust.questionnaire ORI GERSHT - @origersht / WEBSITE - https://web.marcelforart.com/ori_gersht2 //////////////// Listen to the Podcast on: APPLE PODCASTS - Proust Questionnaire Podcast SPOTIFY - Proust Questionnaire Podcast YOUTUBE: Ulrich Baer  //////////////// Thanks for listening! :) Uli Baer & Caroline Weber.

What happens in museum when the crowds have gone? Christine Coulson's exquisite book, Metropolitan Stories, imagines the inner lives of the artworks and precious objects that tell us so much about the past, the present but also our human future, while enduring stoically the millions of museum visitors' inquisitive, appreciative or indifferent gazes. Christine was a senior curator at the Metropolitan Museum where she worked for over 25 years before becoming a full-time writer. The book is a love letter to the greatest temple to art in the United States, and an invitation for all of us to look again at the Metropolitan Museum, especially during the pandemic when museums had to remain closed for many dark months. /////////////// Follow us: TWITTER - @ulibaer / @corklinedRoom INSTAGRAM - @ulinyc / @carolineweber2020 (PROUST QUESTIONNAIRE PODCAST) - @proust.questionnaire CHRISTINE COULSON - @nyccoulson //////////////// Listen to the Podcast on: APPLE PODCASTS - Proust Questionnaire Podcast SPOTIFY - Proust Questionnaire Podcast YOUTUBE: Ulrich Baer  //////////////// Thanks for listening! :) Uli Baer & Caroline Weber.

Anna Condo is a French director and photographer who was born in Armenia and now lives in New York. She began an acting career, then in 1988 turned to photography. In 1989, Anna moved to the United States and worked on many projects. She started writing and making movies. During this period, Anna continued to take photographs and collaborated with many artists. In 1998, She published her first book “AH Allen,” a powerful tribute to her friend and poet Allen Ginsberg. Since 2013, Anna has been focusing on flower photography. Is it a snub to this society that is constantly reinventing the rules? Or simply the observation that the real is elsewhere? Some view the flower as naive. Anna’s works prove the opposite. These images that can be compared to portraits, impose respect. Indeed here the flower is no longer fragile. She is strong, sometimes arrogant. She symbolizes this nature that only bends to the elements. A real break in the world in which we live in. The flower is a lady first and foremost. A feminist before its time. A broth of culture, stories, and emotions. P. Achdijan (“The storm revives flowers” C. Baudelaire). /////////////// Follow us: TWITTER - @ulibaer / @corklinedRoom INSTAGRAM - @ulinyc / @carolineweber2020 (PROUST QUESTIONNAIRE PODCAST) - @proust.questionnaire ANNA CONDO - @anna.condo //////////////// Listen to the Podcast on: APPLE PODCASTS - Proust Questionnaire Podcast SPOTIFY - Proust Questionnaire Podcast YOUTUBE: Ulrich Baer  //////////////// Thanks for listening! :) Uli Baer & Caroline Weber.

Omar Victor Diop is a Senegalese photographer whose historical auto-portraits, where he places himself in settings and poses previously occupied by historical figures, have been exhibited around the world.  Born in Dakar in 1980, Diop developed an interest in photography and design as a means to capture the diversity of modern African societies and lifestyles.​​​ The success of his first conceptual project Fashion 2112, Le Futur du Beau which was featured at the Pan African Exhibition of the African Biennale of Photography of 2011 in Bamako (Rencontres de Bamako) encouraged him to end his career in corporate communications to dedicate himself full-time to photography in 2012. Omar Victor enjoys mixing his photography with other forms of art, such as costume design, styling, and creative writing, and he has worked in fashion editorials and advertising as well. Omar Victor's work draws inspiration from his African visual heritage and the international, cosmopolitan context in which we all live. We spoke to him via zoom during the COVID lockdown and the social protests against police brutality and racism taking place around the globe. ​ /////////////// Follow us: TWITTER - @ulibaer / @corklinedRoom INSTAGRAM - @ulinyc / @carolineweber2020 (PROUST QUESTIONNAIRE PODCAST) - @proust.questionnaire OMAR VICTOR DIOP - @omar_viktor //////////////// Listen to the Podcast on: APPLE PODCASTS - Proust Questionnaire Podcast SPOTIFY - Proust Questionnaire Podcast YOUTUBE: Ulrich Baer  //////////////// Thanks for listening! :) Uli Baer & Caroline Weber.

For Chang as a Korean-Canadian woman, being —as the title of her memoir published in 2019—The Baddest Bitch in the Room is not a choice but a moral necessity.

Robert Couturier is one of the most prestigious interior designers. His name has been included in Architectural Digest’s prestigious annual list of the best decorators and architects in the world, has become synonymous with continental and international style. Robert Couturier made design history in 1987 when the billionaire financier Sir James Goldsmith, who could have engaged any architect and decorator in the known world to do his bidding, followed his legendary instincts and entrusted the 32-year-old Couturier with what would amount to the single greatest private commission of modern times: the re-conception, execution, and continuous embellishment – down to the last gilded detail – of Goldsmith’s 20,000-acre kingdom on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Crowned by a 60,000-square-foot vaulted-and-tile-domed hilltop palace called La Loma, the estate, before the designer was through, would come to include vast satellite villas and assorted guest pavilions. He would later complete the grandiose picture by decorating Goldsmith’s Boeing 757 (”a flying carpet with a motor”), double-width Manhattan townhouse, and historic French chateau. /////////////// Follow us: TWITTER - @ulibaer / @corklinedRoom INSTAGRAM - @ulinyc / @carolineweber2020 (THE PROUST QUESTIONNAIRE) - @proust.questionnaire ROBERT COUTURIER - @robertcouturier58 //////////////// Listen to the Podcast on: APPLE PODCASTS - Proust Questionnaire Podcast SPOTIFY - Proust Questionnaire Podcast YOUTUBE: Ulrich Baer  //////////////// Thanks for listening! :) Uli Baer & Caroline Weber.
