Diva Opaque, Anonymous Guardians of Intimacy
Pinar&Viola reveal the secret collection of scarf_whiz80
Diva Opaque is a collection of found images belonging to scarf_whiz80. This eccentric collection varies from snapshots, carefully manipulated pictures and skillful photomontages, all portraying veiled divas.
Scarf_whiz80 cherishes the veil in his very own perception. In contradiction with today’s sensational hijab-hype, scarf_whiz80 glorifies the headscarf. From silk to satin, from lace to chiffon, he manifests the veil as an object obscure, shielding beauty from the beholder. The images depict strong women who seem decided to keep their transparency unique to their private relations. Scarf_whiz80 idolizes these women as the Anonymous Guardians of Intimacy.
Pinar&Viola discovered the bewildering collection on the internet by accident, and fully embraced scarf_whiz80’s skillfully crafted uncanny vision.
In his collection, Pinar&Viola observe a critique on societal norms of gender, race, religion and sexuality, including destructions of stereotypes and ideologies.
With today’s expansion of identity politics and the booming prosecution of middle-class, narrow-minded morality in the discourses of popular culture and public policy, Pinar&Viola state the veil as the neo black.

By AMFI store presents The Credit Card Collection
By AMFI is the Statement Store of the Amsterdam Fashion Institute that exhibits and sells products of our talents; students, teachers, alumni and friends. It’s is a community working together with the industry and society. Every 3 months a new concept is made up and a new environment is created, with new products from both inside and outside AMFI. Every theme is organized and realized by our young AMFI professionals, often reflecting a current theme in school.
THE STORE By AMFI opens it’s new conceptual collection with Pinar&Viola’s Ecstatic Surface Design 2011, The Credit Card Collection. Every year, Pinar&Viola launch an autonomous Ecstatic Surface Collection which tends to be recognized as ‘haute couture’ of graphic design.
In the Ecstatic Surface Design 2011 Collection, the pseudo-realistic dream world that was created by the credit cards is depicted. Once the credit card was presented as the magical key to access dreams, now, in The Credit Card Collection, this piece of virtual money generator is depicted in the powerless ocean of debt.

Ecstatic Surface Design 2011: ‘The Credit Card Collection’
Our collaboration started during our studies at the Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam, Masters of Rietveld Academie and turned into the graphic design duo Pinar&Viola. 15 September, we’ll be graduating with our first Ecstatic Surface Collection: The Credit Card Collection.
In our future practice, we, as the graphic design duo, Pinar&Viola, will be launching every year an ecstatic surface collection. As graduation project, we are presenting the first: The Credit Card Collection. The ultimate plastic spending power, the credit card, is the starring actor of the collection.
In the ecstatic surface collection, from ordinary plastic to all-black titanium, the credit card is depicted as a catastrophic authority. Credit cards, once presented to their members as the key to access uttermost fantasies and luxury, made debt become equal to wealth. The Credit Card is used here as an all-encompassing metaphor for shattered dreams, disappointment, the transforming notion of value and the mutation of the concept of ‘credit’.
