Marta Lamovšek - interview

There is a fair number of people in this world which are pretty much full of themselves, proud of their work and always ready to talk about themselves - not only when they are asked to. Personally, I tend to be careful when confronted with such, because many are just talking crap, but then there are some who are true to themselves, who are somehow at peace with their boosted ego and when you listen to them you think, oh come on, that's too much, but at the same time your face shapes into a smile and you're not in a hurry to leave the table. Some people are just natural born killers, and they know it, they knew it from the very beginning of things. Now that's what I strongly admire - the ability to believe in yourself, to believe that you are able to go high above the average, even when everyone around you wants to convince you otherwise. And then, on one sunny day, you prove your point. Now, Marta, did I mention she makes great photographs?

What kind of a tree would you choose, if you could be one?
Gosh, I wouldn't like to be any of the trees - despite their essentiality in the nature and all the beauty they posses. Yes, they serve many purposes, they GROW, they reach to the sky, they live hundreds of years, but if only they wouldn't stay in ONE PLACE FOREVER. Can I be a bird instead? I would NEST in a tree.

A fact about you that surprises people, especially those who know you.
My integrity. Being always true to myself, even when nobody is watching. Also, try to bullshit me and not take the responsibility for it: you will not get away with it. Yeah, I'm tough. And very proud. That said, I'm probably also the most romantic person you'll ever meet.

What would you have for your last supper?
Since it would be the last dish I'd order something extremely rare. Maybe Italian White Alba truffle and a lobster with world's most expensive caviar (I google it and it's a type of Iranian beluga called Almas.) For a desert I'd eat tons of slovenian traditional cake "prekmurska gibanica" which kills you with the amount of calories anyway.

Whom would you invite for a dinner if you could choose anyone?
One of my dreams I have is that one day I will invite to my beautiful beach house all my good friends where I will cook for them all week. This is probably the most surreal fantasy I have - not because of my own beach house but me cooking for others, haha.

Who or what inspires you the most?
I'm inspired by all artists that never stops creating and reinventing them self. I'm inspired by my superconscious mind, that little voice in my head that is whispering to me "do it, you know you have to".

What do you like most about London?
I love that you wake up at artist friend house on a Saturday morning after dancing in clubs you were never into before. You realize you're somewhere in the North and your home is South, you hit the road and you're all charmed by the proper old english area you suddenly walked into. Even to get to the nearest tube home is an adventure, almost like you're in a novel. Every day I can go to yet unseen place for the rest of my life and I will never see the whole city or get bored of it. I love the possibilities, that endless inspiration filled with new amazing people you meet each day. Imagine you meet Johnny Deep dressed as Jack Sparrow and he smiles at you and he says "hi" ... and you're not dreaming - well, this is why I love this city !

- My black Canon D5 mark II - my precious toy.

Good book that you have recently read?
GOALS by Brian Tracy : One of this books that REMINDS you how to get everything you want with first knowing what you REALLY want.

What kind of music are you listening to last few days...
Lately I fancy a lot the sound of OH Land, but most commonly I just type a tag into Last.fm - it all depends which part of the day it is, and yeah, the position of the moon.

What would you like to do most at this moment?
I am exactly where I want to be right now, doing exactly what I want - and if I wanted something else - believe me - I would do it.

With whom would you spend a night if you can choose anyone?
I would spend a night with a extremely handsome stranger I meet on a tube today. We would CUDDLE ALL NIGHT...
