Carhartt Work In Progress || Octagon

Carhartt WIP has unveiled an experimental 25-minute skate video called Öctagon. Directed by Joaquim Bayle, the film ditches the usual skate video piece-by-piece format in favour of overall storytelling and unique cinematography.

"The Öctagon is totalitarian and omniscient. Billions of data are generated by this independent system and build a unique reality," reads the video's rather perplexing description. "Individuals live within the Öctagon. Geographic space doesn’t exist for real, it is not tangible but still defined by a multitude of data."

Skaters in the video include Sylvain Tognelli, Bram De Cleen and Joseph Biais. Check it out below.

You Won't Regret That Tattoo || Short Documentary

Tattoos are a prevalent form of body art within street culture, containing its own aesthetic language and conventions that run a common theme. However, they also embody a deeply intimate visual representation of one’s own personal history — a theme that the short documentary “You Won’t Regret That Tattoo” explores by interviewing some of the older generation about what and why they choose to leave a permanent mark on their bodies. Discussing everything from their first tattoo, the most meaningful, and also any they have regretted, the documentary is a revealing, yet humanizing portrait of these people and several lifetimes worth of memories. Enjoy the 12-minute film below.
