Issue #4 "Woodlands" out now // 07-07-08 // Jul-2008
Loom has seen its first birthday and invites you to discover its new look as well as the many woody stories we captured while taking a leisurely stroll through the woods.
Our issue #4 comes along all dressed up - for the wood and only. See the issues section to read more and download the actual magazine.
Upcoming Issue #4 - Woodlands // 30-04-08 // Apr-2008
Issue 4 includes a forest walk to different woodlands in Europe were we encounter not only little red riding hood, forest spirits and a hidden secret but also treehuggers, hunted hunters and the people of poplars.
We take a break at the black lodge near the blue lake watching "Them". After our walk back we meet all togehter in the snuggery heated by firewood and have a fresh brewed german beer (yes it's the most excellent beer in the world). As always we haven't met our deadline but we feel confident that it's going to be done very soon and not when it's done!
Get dressed for a forest walk and issue #4!

Issue #06 // 09-07-09 // Jul-2009
Your True Color
Who is the person looking out of a picture? When we look at photographs of people, we usually assume that a portrait is more or less an accurate representation of what was in front of the lens. Inspired by the phrase "Your true color", the contributors of this issue tried to examine and expand the ways in which we judge one another by looking at his face.
In this issue we question what the viewer commonly perceives as portraiture, and showcase contemporary portrait photography which is made to provoke, to inspire, and ask for the limits and possibilities of portraits. Now its time to showcase these images and the conversations we created.
The Loom team is very glad to present you our 6th issue, "Your true Color".
For the first time, you will have the choice either enjoying this magazine online or as strictly limited printed version. Just contact Loom for your personal and limited copy. The price is 10 € + mailing expenses.
Loom says Hello and Enjoy.

Special Issue #05 // 23-06-09 // Jun-2009
Lightpainting
In May '08 the loom team went to Tampere, a small city in Finland, to take part in a lightpainting workshop together with finish students at the Tamk University of Applied Sciences. We not only experienced a very inspiring week of insomnia but also a warm welcome of our finish hosts. After one week of intensive cooperationship and several visits in the sauna the results of the workshop were presented at the TAF festvial 08.
To ease waiting for our soon to be released regular issue #06 we decided to publish our second special issue - The light painting issue.
Here you go! May the force of light be with you!

Issue #04 // 07-07-08 // Jul-2008
Woodlands
Dear Viewer. A warm welcome and immediate invitation to come along with us into the "woodlands". As always we haven't met our deadline, but we feel confident that our new issue is a job what pays! Since our magazine has seen the light of day, fifteen months have passed by. The time is right to get dressed up - for the wood and only.
Our issue #4 includes a forest walk to different woodlands in Europe where we encounter not only little red riding hood, forest spirits and a hidden secret but also hunted hunters, and the people of poplars. We also take a break at the black lodge near the blue lake watching "them". After our walk back we meet all together in the snuggery heated by firewood and have a fresh brewed german beer. Feel free to take your very own track into the woodlands. But don't forget your gingerbread to mark the trail back home.

Issue #03 // 25-11-07 // Nov-2007
Places of crime
Dear viewer, watch out - the topic of our new loom issue is dangerous... to be mistaken. It took us some time to finish the "Places of crime" issue but investigating a crime is always a long-term business.
When we first thought about "Places of crime" blood and thunder came to our mind. But we found more ways of interpreting and visualizing this topic during our last course. One reason for this surely is the fact that the german term "Tatorte" is not the exact translation for "Places of crime" but the most suitable. Whereas "Places of crime" describes places where a crime was commited, "Tatorte" describes places where something happened or where someone did something. Not necessarily under a negative connontation.
So the results may vary greatly and we discovered different potentials able to activate not only a criminal mind. Bad girls, bad dolls, bad dogs and bad thougts are only a few possibillities displayed in this issue. Feel free to join our investigations and see what the butler did. As we all know: Crime does pay!

Special Issue #02 // 16-07-2007 // Jul-2007
In the search of the famous
Dear viewer, this special issue of Loom is based on a workshop with students from Uiah (University of Art and Design Helsinki). The images shown in this issue are a result of an intense one week project in Helsinki.
Loom as a platform for photography students should not only be bound to Weimar, or to student projects. Therefor special issues are used for any kind of projects which are related to photography and from our point contributing to the thought of "Walking with the speed of light".
The idea for this project was to follow the steps of famous photographers, to learn their language and by learning it to find back to the own original way of visualzing images. Not all of the chosen photographers are world famous but still it's quite challenging to see or to know the originals, and to expierience now the transformation. Maybe it's good to have a look at the neighbours garden to see the own flowers.

Issue #01 // 13-03-07 // Mar-2007
Once In A While
Dear viewer, you are reading the first ever issue of Loom ‒ a magazine about the art to walk with the speed of light. This first issue exemplifies the student’s accesses to their world with a camera.
It reflects on the circumstances and raises the questions of their and our everyday life, our routines and habits. The photographic and literary pieces in this issue should encourage viewers to reconsider their perception and to sharpen their view in order to explore what is behind the wall paper.
Feel free to take a walk with your very own speed of light and have a look on our first issue of "Loom".
Alexander Lembke, Faculty of Media
