How to make your own Das Banale Ding photography
Picture Maker Handy Manual:


  1. While walking on the street or swinging around your own home stop for a second to look 'closely' what’s around you. Do you see anything that’s particularly drawing your attention? Something you had never seen before? Probably not: that means you are already looking into the right direction.

  2. Pick any regular object or situation. Looking under your bed, checking out the fridge, a walk around the block or a stroll along the corridors of the Action or Blokker shop could be of a lot of help for this first exercise. Look for a place or a situation in which the object become something different than what it originally was. Does it look ridiculous now or silly, or makes no sense to you at all? Then you've chosen the right object to work with.

  3. Take the camera and get it ready to try a first shot. When referencing to “the camera” I mean any 'gadget' around that makes pictures (i.e. mobile phone, photo camera, web-cam, etc.).

  4. Try several shots and take a closer look at the results. Modifying the position of the object (turning it upside down, moving it from left to right or even getting rid of it) could help a lot in giving the picture a real banal characteristic.

  5. Choose the most banal picture out of them all, give it a name, and send it to dasbanaleding@gmail.com. The Das Banale online team will be more than happy to check it out and post it on the blog.

  6. Keep in touch with http://dasbanaleding.blogspot.com. You’ll be surprised not only about yourself…


Important Note:

Tell all your friends about it. All you need is to take a good look around, have a camera and preferably no shame. Remember: The sky is the limit and banality is around the corner, it’s only a matter of capturing it.

Das Banale Ding is a project founded in 2010 in Amsterdam. Sharp and with a sense of humor, they redefine reality and reclaim imagination with objects from our daily life. Everyday objects are placed in different contexts or photographed in specific manners to unleash them from their original meaning. By doing so, Das Banale Ding creates new realities that are fascinating and slightly absurd.

Das Banale Ding has been initiated by Adrian Brun, Annegien van Doorn, Bas Hendrikx, Marloes van Doorn and Nikos Doulos.

Publicatie 09–10–2010


Op een papieren bordje in een rokerige ruimte staat een wigwam van wierookstokjes te roken. De camera draait om het oranje bouwsel heen, op de achtergrond rustige muziek. Het is een vulkaan die al wel rookt maar nog niet tot uitbarsting is gekomen. En dan, opeens, stort de hele toren in. De camera valt om, we zien de omringende kamer. Brandende wierookstokjes vallen op de grond. De vulkaan is tot uitbarsting gekomen.

Het filmpje Volcano staat op het blog Das Banale Ding waarop een groep kunstenaars foto’s en filmpjes post waarin de meest alledaagse gebruiksvoorwerpen worden ge-, en misbruikt. Van etenswaar tot nepsnorren, alles kan aanleiding voor een foto zijn. Als het maar gebruikt wordt voor iets waar het niet oorspronkelijk voor bedoeld was. Op deze manier maken de kunstenaars een ode aan de verbeelding en laten ze zien dat kunst ook in de meest banale hoeken kan schuilen.
