Ruud Peters Photography

My goal is searching for the common and trying to capture it not so common, using light, angle and perspective as my tools. The objects are various from Landscape to architecture and from Nature to macro.

There's a beautiful scene hidden everywhere. I hope you enjoy the site.

Kabuki

image

The word Kabuki came from the verb kabuku, which literally meant to incline in a certain direction (this verb is no more used). It also metaphorically meant to be, either in behavior or custom, different from the norm, to be likely to draw attention. The expression kabukimono was used from the end of the sixteenth century for the wild urban gangs of young eccentrics, who dressed outrageously and had strange hairstyles. Then, the gaudy and colorful stage performances of Okuni and her troupe of dancers at the beginning of the seventeenth century were called "Okuni Kabuki". Later on, the ideograms used for the word Kabuki changed. It was divided into 3 concepts: KA (music), BU (dance) and KI (acting skills).


The art, the plays, the great stars of today, the legends of the past, the theaters, the history, the glossary, the traditions, the heroes and the derivatives:

Fish Tales

image

Du bist der kleine rote Fisch. Alle Fische die kleiner sind fressen - soviele wie möglich um zum nächsten Level zu kommen. Wenn dein Fisch nach einiger Zeit gewachsen ist, gibts auch grössere Happen. Ja nicht mit einem grösseren Fisch zusammenstossen.

Fish Tales

Am Anfang ganz putzig ... doch das game legt pro Level schön zu ...

Enter one or more keywords as a subject for you dream.

I entered "Ursi" - that's my dream.

What is your dream?

Dreamlines is a non-linear, interactive visual experience. The user enters one or more words that define the subject of a dream he would like to dream. The system looks in the Web for images related to those words, and takes them as input to generate an ambiguous painting, in perpetual change, where elements fuse into one another, in a process analogous to memory and free association.
