New York Times Video: 'Kruse" by Barnaby Roper

From The New York Times:

Fashion Week Video ‘Kruse’
Video, Women's FashionBy JUDITH PUCKETT-RINELLA February 11, 2011, 9:30 am

Barnaby Roper doesn’t do things by half. But he is not against the idea of using a 16-part grid. In his latest high-impact video, ‘Kruse,’ created exclusively for The Moment, Roper turns his lens on Christina Kruse, a ’90s catwalk queen and a talented artist in her own right. Kruse’s image is carved up into a digital chopping block that twists and turns and squeezes her through a series of kaleidoscopic formations. Look out for more videos from Roper as the year progresses — assuming the technology can keep up.

From nytimes.com:

By Judith Puckett-Rinella:

Barnaby Roper, the innovative New York filmmaker and photographer, has created a short film exclusively for The Moment starring the model Dorothea Barth Jorgensen. In this captivating short, Roper combines powerful lighting and exquisitely timed edits — along with more than a little wax — to transform Dorothea into a three-dimensional otherworldly beauty. When not appearing in T films or posing for the pages of Italian Vogue or Love, the Swedish-born Jorgensen can often be found at Surf Café in Brooklyn, reading her beloved Anaïs Nin, or, you know, analyzing dreams. She also has a wicked blog called Displaced Bones, where you can see Jorgensen’s beautiful friends captured through her own lens and read her poetry and various musings.

You can talk about a model citizen, but Belgrade-born New York based model Natasa V is a true citizen of the world. In her Political Fashion film, director Barnaby Roper (literally) strips her to the bare essentials, but the most intriguing element is what she doesn’t reveal.
