Spleen is a fashion and visual arts magazine that offers to share the inner side of the artist, its deepest and most personal visions. Through those introspective and intimate looks that translate the images in artistic scenarios and contrasting aesthetic forms. A space, open to the world, for creative contemporary avant—garde minds desiring to express themselves through heterogeneous forms of communication. Spleen is your aesthete best friend.

Moronic Photography: Daniel Evans + Brendan Baker

S p l nł��.��
‘Moroni�’ is the latest proje�t �rom �ollaborative duo Daniel Evans & Brendan Baker. The series explores and exploits both the �ragilit� and �lexibilit� of language by illustrating a number of linguisti� paradoxes �ound within news media sear�h engines. B� using a variet� of stillli�e and per�ormative methods, Baker & Evans have �reated a set of photographi� �uriosities that perplex and intrigue the viewer. The role of language and our pro�esses o� understanding it are �entri� to the work, taking �ues �rom various aspe�ts o� semioti� theor�. The ox�moroni� statements that the images are derived �rom �reate a void where no meaning is �on�rete, subsequentl� leaving spa�e �or the mind to �abri�ate all manner of possibilities. Baker & Evans have manipulated this weak spot, highlighting the �allibilit� o� language and its relationship with the photographi� image.

M o r o n i�
In man� instan�es the visual translation is entirel� literal, su�h as the photograph titled ‘Egg Plant’, which shows a household plant with eggs sprouting �rom its bran�hes. In other �ases, the meaning requires a more a�tive sear�h �rom the viewer, underlining the �onvoluted nature o� language and its instabilit� as a form o� de�initive �ommuni�ation.

Anna Kremsmünster, Austria, August � I love being at home in summer. Our garden is prote�ted �rom all sides with hight trees, ever�bod� swims and runs around naked. It is one of these da�s, I �aptured my parents, during one o� this ver� �amilial, spe�ial moments.
H id e
I am ver� lu�k� to have them allow me intruding so �ar into their li�e. What I get are pi�tures that show a natural intima�� that I so �ar never a�hieved with people that I knew less, with models or in an� staged situation. M� mother, who is used to m� �amera, is alwa�s willing to pla� the game a little, make some nonsense, taking m� dads shoes, but never posing or thinking about how she should appear, never �hanging reall� �rom the person who is just taking a swim, to a naked women putting on a dress.
