What’s Up #60: Rebecca Wolkenstein

Rebecca Wolkenstein is a person [rebeccawolkenstein.com]. She is also using her good name to single handily champion the work of Australian designers and photographers locally and around the world. Creatives currently under her wing include Beci Orpin (see What’s Up #59), Jonathan Zawada [zawada.com.au] (editor of Petit Mal zine [petit-mal.com] amongst other things) and Jason Pietra [rebeccawolkenstein.com/photographers/JasonPietra]. The blurb on her site is unusually relaxed and open too: ❝When I started the agency I had a bunch of really cool photographers. I was pretty pleased with myself, but then I met Beci and thought, “how cool is she!?” I thought why stop at photography? Since then I have taken on all the people in this country who I think are really special. It’s a small group. Is that snobbery?❞ The image above comes from Johnathan Zawada’s ‘glory scarves’ project [trust-fun.com]. Each scarf is digitally printed with a unqiue patten so no two are the same.
