UN HOMMAGE À ROY STUART
Our homegirl Amanda Rose starring again, this time in an hommage to Roy Stuart quickly shot by our AD on one of those rare sunny days in Hamburg, Germany.
While freezing off her ass, this brave girl stood up for a short questioning:
TISSUE Magazine: Your fetish?
Amanda Rose: I am drawn to my mouth and my teeth physically. I am very visual for a female. I like colorful imagery. I like androgyny and youth and innocence on one side and raw and not always beautiful and experience on the other side. I like doing something I shouldn’t. Like to think about sex with a hisitic jew because I know I can never have one.
TISSUE Magazine: Your work?
Amanda Rose: I am moved by other artists, by the day to day and by Dave and James, my two best friends. I wish to inspire other people into action. Art is for everyone. Live life to the fullest. Move your ass a little but also take time to sit and look at a flower and the whole world inside of it.
TISSUE Magazine: Your life?
Amanda Rose: I wish for some inner peace. But not too much of it! Anxiety pushes expression for me. Now, my life is too stressful. I’m ready to settle down a bit.
TISSUE Magazine: Your life?
Amanda Rose: My perfect world is too far removed from reality. So for real life: the perfect world is making the best out of the cards you are dealt. And just the day to day – moments of joy, love, self-lessness. But there is no heaven without a hell, no?
No, there isn’t.

THE DARK LORD OF ASS
Sitting in his Berlin studio, interviewing him and browsing his archive leaves you smirking with the deep wish to never leave this homely place. Unfortunately, after five hours of exhausting visual impressions, means billion of keenly specific tits and asses, we had to leave.
This *jack of all trades stood up for a short questioning:
TISSUE Magazine: Your fetish?
Martin Eder: I try to steal some time from the clock ticking. I am not only capturing some moments, I really want to cut it out and steal it, and keep it in a secret golden box in my house under the roots of the trees. I want to be accused of that crime.
Martin Eder: My life is simple. I am a very simple man.
Give me a house at the sea and I might never bother the world again with my work.
Martin Eder: My world is a wonderful spiral filled with madness mixed with chemicals, pigments and sleep. I try to recover everyday from the day before …
Thank God, I have a very strong will.
Find the complete interview and excerpts of his photographic work from the past ten years in the upcoming issue of TISSUE around June.

TISSUE LOVES ANIMALS II
Yes, and TISSUE loves a laugh as well as the work of visual artist Federico Cosci. At the moment we don’t have much information on this man of high ideals,
so let his work speak for him.
Highly recommended, too:

WORK THAT SH*T
TISSUE’s working hard to finish T°2 the next four weeks.
And while working it, we play this loud:
morris audio 78: kris wadsworth - ex girlfriends ep
released: february 2012
TISSUE LOVES ANIMALS
And so does Roeg Cohen, New York based photographer, who also submitted the great story featuring horses in T°1. Now he came up with these bunnies. A good chance for us to wish you a happy easter at last.
Romantic Roeg stood up for a short questioning:
TISSUE Magazine: Your fetish?
Roeg Cohen: I’m drawn towards people, and things that possess some darkness in their spirit – the melancholly, the twisted, or just a dark sense of humor. I like things left of center.
TISSUE Magazine: Your work?
Roeg Cohen: I don’t like to intellectualize art. I want to have a gutteral reaction. I want to look at it and feel something. That’s how I hope people will react to my pictures. Like I said in the previous question: I tend to respond to things that are melancholly. I believe that reflects in the pictures I take. Whether it be of a girl, or a horse. I want the mood to be the same.
TISSUE Magazine: Your life?
Roeg Cohen: I’m pretty simple in these regards. I want the people I care about to be happy. On the material side: A house in the country and a hound dog would put a smile on my face. Profesionally: I just want create work that people like to look at.
TISSUE Magazine: Your world?
Roeg Cohen: I believe perfection, is best acknowledged in the fleeting moments that it exists in. Perfection could never be constant. But you can strive to string together wonderful moments, and get something close to it. The best thing you can do to make the world better – and it might be cliched – but just live honestly to who you are, and to the people around you. I’m also a big believer in courtesy. Always hold a door open, and always give up your seat for a lady. It’s the little things.

MOUTH TO MOUTH
Felix Krüger is a Hamburg local phenomena. He’s pedal-to-the-metal giving it to the people straight. He’s one of those guys you can always count on. When I first saw these shots, I knew we have to show these. Constant readers will immediately know why.

WATCH OUT! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THE TRANSSEXUAL IS ABOUT.
Nowadays a lot of people still think of transsexuality as a desease – same as with homosexuality. Watch Lalla Kowska Regnier, you might also know from T°1, starring in this cute spot against “transphobia”.

NEWS FROM MILANO
Italian photographer Dido Fontana and his collegue Madame E. were going undercover this weekend to visit Milans sex fair MI-SEX for TISSUE. Here’s to some critique by Madame E.:
Mi-Sex 2012 – In Italy they do so
It’s not sexy, not glam and it’s not hard. Talking about the show in Milan that celebrates sex in its many forms. Just saving that arousing empathy for the girls to see them involved in the forefront of the shows (sad), at the stands (poor), in the competitions (phony). Everything else is boring …

TRUTH BEARER
Emmanuelle Tricoire – french female fashion photographer and passionate seeker after truth – is no daydreamer. Armed with higher ethics and her reliable personality she’s continuously sharpening her tools to look deeper into the meaning of life. In brief: She’s capturing souls, not taking pictures.
That honest and romantic soul Emmanuelle stood up for a short questioning:
TISSUE Magazine: Your fetish?
Emmanuelle Tricoire: I am totally obsessed with thin and long pointed noses. When the nostrils form a V. It totally turns me on. You know, like Waris Ahluwalia.
Also there is no coffee marks I don’t read. It always makes the waiters laugh when I turn my cup upside down.
TISSUE Magazine: Your work?
Emmanuelle Tricoire: Above all, Truth. Photography is my freedom of speech. I am raising some questions about myself through the persons I photograph. It becomes an intensive experience between me and my “object”.
TISSUE Magazine: Your life?
Emmanuelle Tricoire: To do what I love. To love what I do.
TISSUE Magazine: Your world?
Emmanuelle Tricoire: In my perfect world I would live in a beautiful place with a handsome loving men. I am just a stonethrow away from this one!
Professionally I would love to be represented by galeries and institutions all around the world. As of an utopist world, there would be no “bêtise humaine”. People would have respect for people, animals and the world we are living in.
Find a teaser on the left to her upcoming project exploring transience.

BETTWÄRTS AT BALLHAUS OST BERLIN, MARCH 3, 2012
That handsome devil Rp Kahl took his movie “Bedways” to the stage and caused quite a stir in Ballhaus Ost. Why? Well, his interpretation of human sexuality is not easy to take. At least for that half of the audience who left the show early. But: who is afraid of the wolves should not visit the forest (Russian saying).
To free himself from the curse of his successful so-called arthaus-porn “Bedways” he initiated a very intimate performance including a re-interpretation of the movie via live-sex transmitted from a hotel room nearby, bondage, groupsex action in different other spaces in that venue and all ending up with destroying the former casting couch he used for mentioned motion picture.
For those who could take it was an amusing and juicy evening, for us it was a revelation.
Bettwärts! — performance by Rp Kahl featuring Gina Dorio, Marie Golüke, Alexandra Kamp, Thomas Mahmoud, Aline Mauch, Helge-Björn Meyer, Mario Mentrup, Nikiru, Mary Puppet, Philippe Reinhardt, Anne Retzlaff, Moritz Ross, Tucké Royale, Katalin Szücs and himself.
