EXP 3: OBAMA-MADONNA-PRADA

MASH-UP

What sets her apart is her disregard...for the 'dictates', balance[ing] this insubordinate side of her personality with a gentle touch on the elbow...[a] keen sense of propriety.

Original article quotes:

OBAMA

"A gentle touch on the elbow from his boss ensured that Biden reined in the gags and concentrated on the dignity of his new office. A small moment, perhaps. But one that showed Obama's keen sense of propriety. A break, also, with the relentlessly jovial Bush."

Nobel:

The entrance to Nobel's Lab, the heavy stone block is representative of guilt associated with being labelled a merchant of war, it must be passed under (crouching) to enter.

Reverse angle: The space after entering has a void in the floor, through which the stone can pass if it falls, this represents Nobel's attempt to create a legacy of non-violence.

View from the meeting point.



Cousteau: one must pass down ramp into depths of water to enter the lab.In this lab there is a very real danger that curiosity can pull you down into the blackness and death.
