Terry Jones

    1 febbraio 1942 – 21 gennaio 2020

    Questo autore britannico è noto per il suo approccio umoristico e satirico alla scrittura. Le sue opere esplorano spesso le assurdità della vita moderna e le convenzioni sociali con arguzia tagliente. Utilizza la sua prospettiva unica per creare personaggi e situazioni memorabili che spingono i lettori alla riflessione. Il suo stile è caratterizzato da un uso giocoso del linguaggio e da svolte inaspettate.

      This is the script of the film which looks at what life is really all about, which featured the whole Monty Python team and was directed by Terry Jones This is a fully illustrated edition of the hilarious Python classic, which takes a pop at almost every single sacred cow of culture and includes the famous tune "Every Sperm is Sacred." Although primarily aimed at an audience of fish, Monty Python's film, The Meaning of Life, spans the whole range of human experience. It starts with the birth of a seemingly insignificant human being (especially from a haddock's point of view) who, sure enough turns out to play no further part in the film.

    • This is a reproduction of the diary of Lady Angelica Cottingham, which features pressed garden fairies. Or rather the psychic images of the fairies, who quickly turned it into a game, where they leapt between the closing pages in an effort to outdo each other to produce the most outrageous poses.

    • Als einer der intellektuellsten Designer der Modebranche entwirft Yohji Yamamoto Kleidung, die manchmal etwas verkopft wirkt. Doch immer ist sie wunderschön. Die Archive des Londoner Magazins i-D bieten einen Einblick in Yohjis Gedankenwelt seit 1981, als er und Rei Kawakubo einen neuen, düsteren Japan-Chic propagierten. Es geht um seine Bewunderung für Meisterschneider, den schmerzhaften Prozess, durch den Mode zur Anti-Mode wird, und um die Frage, wie er es schafft, dass seine Entwürfe zugleich zeitlos und avantgardistisch sind. Der 120-Seiten-Band enthält biografische und persönliche Informationen zu diesem Ausnahmedesigner, fotografische Extravaganzen von Paolo Roversi, Max Vadukul und Nick Knight sowie Yamamoto-Interviews von Jamie Huckbody, Holly Shackleton und Terry Jones. Wer also wissen will, was die 80er mit den 2010ern verbindet (und was sie scharf trennt), wird um dieses Buch nicht herumkommen. P. S.: Sie finden, Schwarz-Weiss-Rot sieht nach Bauhaus aus? Findet Yohji auch.
