TFR

TFR is over. But check out TFR's owner new project for this year
Willa 2010
www.willapolis.blogspot.com


WILLA is the new thematic party run by Gallermic, the creator of TFR and Narziß, two regular events that grew into an unparalleled mediatic tour de force inside of the world of fashion and art, due to an exuberant visual and intellectual attack against mainstream culture in the Japanese society and in the globalized world. Taking into account this background, Willa is the ultimate sophisticated scenario to present Gallermic’s authentic reflections about life, the world, the human being, the good and the evil, the culture, the art scene, and most of all an excuse to show Galle’s exuberant ability to love. The objective of the party is to generate love and communication through a universal symbolism that reaches everybody’s heart. As Galle declares: “Willa is a party for the good flowers”.

日本語\\\\WILLA は、ファッションとアートの世界に偉大な功績を残した二つのパーティー、TFRとNarzißの創設者、Gallermicによる新しいパーティーである。日本社会とグローバライズ化された世界の主流のカルチャーに対する、圧倒的な視覚体験と知性による反撃を意図して開催されて来た。こうした背景を鑑み、WILLAは、Gallermicにとっての日常、世界、人類、善と悪、カルチャー、アートシーン、そしてとりわけGalleの愛についての表象を、究極に洗練された物語として送り届ける。このパーティーの目的は、すべての人々の心に届く普遍的な象徴を通して、愛とコミュニケーションを慈しみ、育むことにある。Galleの言葉を借りれば、「WILLAは善き花々へのパーティーである」。

Next Narziß is the last Narziß, our last party: an erotic fantastic farewell. We are saying bye-bye after 21 parties: it's like the magical 7 x 3, the number of the perfection by excellence and of the individuality according to the numerology. For us is inhuman and perfect: like a triangle. For how extraordinary have We been all this time, after all... It’s arousing: Ciao for now. And deep throat to you all!

P.s. We don't want to be uncouth (but we want to be called uncouth), BUT this is the last party, the last photos, and the last chance to represent your groovy self... and there is NO turning back!

↓↓↓TFR in DAZED&CONFUSED JAPAN↓↓↓
インタービュー日本語
Interview in Enlgish:
DAZED: Could you tell me about the party that you are organizing right now? (The name of the party / When did you start having it? / How often are you having it? Etc… Give me the details!)
TFR: The name of the party is NarziB. Basically, NarziB is held every other week at Tokyo's most stylish spaces. We started the party from March 8th 2008.

DAZED: After establishing the party "TFR", you started having another party called "NarziB", what are the conceptual differences between those two? Also, what are the unite concepts?
TFR: TFR is a web magazine critiquing fashion, art and club culture in Tokyo. What differentiates TFR from other media is that we clarify our position and criteria on the issues we cover. The party we organized under the name of TFR was supposed to be the manifestation of our opinion. Therefore, we attempted to represent it through our fashion, the title of each party, flyer and everything. Basically, the concept of TFR parties were rather political and aggressive (ex. anti-globalization). We believe that TFR is something like a visual guerrilla trying to attack the mainstream culture. On the other hand, NarziB is a side project of TFR. Compared with TFR, NarziB doesn't necessarily intend to represent an opinion. It is merely for fun and networking. To us, there seemed like in Tokyo the so-called "community" is virtually non-existent. We want NarziB to be a cultural community for beautiful and individual people. We don't play loud music in NarziB. We want our guests to talk and know each other. NarziB is not fashion-oriented. A wide variety of people with different background are welcomed. As a matter of fact, our guests range from cultural figures like a film actor and an art curator to bohemian homeless. At the same time, NarziB is devoted to beauty. We have dress code for each party and the poor-dressed will not be admitted.



DAZED: Who writes the manifest for the parties?
TFR: Gallermic Mabuse

DAZED: How do you select DJs? Do you have a guideline for it?
TFR: We think there is a ridiculous overvaluation of the DJ nowadays. Specially in Tokyo, the Dj culture has reach the limit of idolatry, to become a Dj is the last burst of the ambition of the club kids. But why? It is like for Japanese there wouldnt be other way to be a star. And we consider that Dj ambition a misery of personality, lack of talent, and the worst tragedy of the parties along with Rave. Therefore, We are not music oriented. We want our visitors to get excited by interaction with beautiful people, to create community, icons and gossips. We rather select our guest Dj's by their cultural background and their beauty, and we called them the oldfashioned way: "selectors". Sometimes we dont even know who is gonna dj next party, we just improvised. Nevertheless, our music selection is rich. A wide range of classical, jazz, gypsy, global grooves, house, auld lang syne and cinephiliac music.

DAZED:What was the start of taking party snaps?
TFR: Just recording our memories.

DAZED: What/which kind of moment would you like to capture when you take photos?
TFR: Whenever as long as the subject is beautiful.

DAZED: What do you think about Tokyo party scene? How do you like to be placed in?
TFR: We don't really know what kind of parties are going on in Tokyo. We don't want to take ourselves within the context of Tokyo or anywhere on the earth. We prefer being regarded as a metaphysical concept without being restricted by biased idea, the name of a city or a country would possibly give.

DAZED: Could you tell me about the fashion style of the TFR guests? Do you have a special dress code?
TFR: Dress code = Individuality. Nothing is more important.



DAZED: Tell me about the concept of the exhibition you had this year, "POST NO FUTURE" at hiromiyoshii gallery.
TFR: Fashion is hentai. We can not help the association between something as superficial and hedonistic as fashion and the mere sexual pleasure full stop. Therefore, for us, a fashion personae who is not a hentai, it is an impostor, a traitor, an alienated puritan in disguise following trends who might just finish his days without a notion of personal style nor fashion itself. Fashion can be zoophiliac, necrophiliac, paediophiliac, dendrophiliac...all the paraphilias. And this can sound as obscene as fascinating, but most of all we are just trying to give an idea of the precariety of fashion these days. We spread fashion in all senses, and are here only to encourage creativity in personal hentalism.

DAZED: Do you have any plans to start up a new project?
TFR: Travel report by TFR's half Naokoula who is in a world round trip right now. And UBUROI, a fashion label for people who likes concepts like NarziB.

we are a space of FREEDOM, FRESHNESS and ESCAPISM. from this perspective, we are one of the very FEW ORIGINAL MEDIA -and definitely the one that has the MOST TENACIOUS and CRITICAL OPINION- related to the 'WORLD OF FASHION'. yes, world we belong to, but also world we find abhorrent because it's representing the most visible side of the pseudo-well-being [CONSUMERISM], that behind glamourous SMOKE SCREENS [generally starred by 'MODELS' and 'POP STARS'], and making use of the so-called 'TRENDS', spreads the most recalcitrant STEREOTYPES of CAPITALISM and its just-apparent GLOBALIZATION... at THEFASHIONRAMONE [a.k.a TFR] you will find, then, the best alternative in fashion design and counterculture!!!!!

Narziß celebrated *The Abduction Of Yokohama Triennale 2008*

english\\\\Narziß celebrated *The Abduction Of Triennale Yokohama 2008* the 14th of September 2008.
"A Kid and his parents visiting their friends' house, having a happy family moment in a place that could be the Swiss countryside, with precious bourgeois chalets, but isolated from the real world; so sordid and exquisitely misanthropic in their soletude, like a castle in Transylvania, or a voluptous oasis in the middle of the desert housing a monster in its profoundities./ In spite of their conversing and laughing, only the silence reigns./ The family says good-bye and gets on its car, a red coupe. On half way home, the breaks fail on a sharp bend and the car jumps off of the road and staggers, crashing fatally against a huge tree. None of them..". I was more or less 4 years old when I was watching that movie. Somehow, I have the impression I was watching the movie with my father, on the bed. I don't remember the name of the film, nor of the actors, nor the whole story, just that exquisite and suffocating contradiction of meanings that arouse my sensuality in other way, rather abstract and obscure, in spite of the oneiric light and the beauty of the colors of the film (very Bergman -that is other thing that I now can refer). I Still consider that moment the first whisper of obscurity...
I refer to this episode in the interest of representing the rising of my artistic sensuality, and its fascinatingly mislaid path of obscurity. Ever since, I find artistic epiphany, pleasure, catharsis, suffering and glory, only in the abduction of my spirit. However, contextualizing Myself in the present, I think it's this itself, my sensual and morbid essence, the very determining factor of my reticence towards contemporary art -or towards the few things of it I've seen so far. In my opinion, the abstraction, the philosophy, the technology, the science, the consumerism and the simpleness seem to be above the emotional torrent and the search for beauty in other times (that I sincerely miss). I think the evolution of technics is overestimated, because it does not necessarily provide gratification. The imitation of reality is not a new thing, but lamentably the contemporary nuances look very aseptic or too real, to the point of needing an explanatory note to understand its simpleness.. Anyway, call Us old-fashioned, if you want, but despite everything, We are going to check the Yokohama Triennale 2008 with the hope of reconciliation; but most of all-> in the mood for love... By the way, thanks for coming o the party. It was very full, like the drawings of my favorite Adolf Wolfli, that abduct me-.

español\\\\Narziß celebro *The Abduction of Yokohama Triennale 2008* el 14 de setiembre del 2008.
"Un ninio y sus padres de visita en la casa de unos amigos, pasando un buen momento familiar en un lugar que podria ser el interior de Suiza, con chalets burgueses preciosos, pero aislados del mundo real; tan sordidos y exquisitamente misantropicos en su soledad, como un castillo en Transilvania, o como un oasis voluptuoso en el medio del desierto albergando un monstruo en sus profundidades./A pesar de que conversan y rien, solo reina el silencio/. La familia se despide y se sube a su coche, un coupe rojo. A la mitad del camino, los frenos fallan y en una curva cerrada el coche se sale de la carretera y se tambalea hasta chocarse fatalmente contra un enorme arbol. Ninguno...". Tendria mas o menos 4 anios cuando estaba viendo esa pelicula. De alguna manera, tengo la impresion de que estaba viendo la pelicula con mi padre, en la cama. No recuerdo el nombre del filme, ni los actores, ni toda la historia, solo esa exquisita y sofocante contradiccion de significados que desperto mi sensualidad de otra manera, mas bien abstracta y obscura, a pesar de la luz onirica y de la belleza de los colores del filme (muy a lo Bergman -que es otra cosa que ahora puedo referir). Aun considero aquel momento el primer susurro de la oscuridad...
Refiero este episodio en aras de representar el surgimiento de mi sensualidad artistica y su fascinado extravio por el sendero de la oscuridad. Desde entonces, encuentro epifania artistica, placer, catarsis, sufrimiento y gloria, solo en el rapto de mi espiritu. Sin embargo, contextualizandome a Mi mismo en el presente, Yo creo que es esta misma, mi esencia sensual y morbida, el factor determinante de mi reticencia hacia el arte contemporaneo -o hacia lo poco que he visto de el hasta ahora. A mi parecer, la abstraccion, la filosofia, la technologia, la ciencia, el consumismo y la simpleza parecen estar por encima de la raudal emocional y de la busqueda de la belleza de otrora (que sinceramente extranio). La evolucion de las tecnicas me parece sobrevalorada, porque no necesariamente brinda gratificacion. La imitacion de la realidad no es una cosa nueva, pero lamentablemente los matices contemporaneos se ven muy asepticos o demasiados reales, hasta el punto de necesitar una nota explicatoria para entender su simpleza.. En fin, llamennos anticuados, si quieren, pero a pesar de todo, nos vamos a chequear la Yokohama Triennale 2008 con la esperanza de reconciliacion; pero sobre todo-> in the mood for love... A proposito, gracias por venir a la fiesta. Estuvo muy llena, como los dibujos de mi favorito Adolf Wolfli, que me secuestran-.

Narziß celebrated *Tokyo Fahion Week Attacks Rashomon Matsuri And Viceversa*

english\\\\Narziß celebrated *Tokyo Fahion Week Attacks Rashomon Matsuri And Viceversa* on September 5th, 2008.
Frankly, We only wanted to rescue the Fashion Week from oblivion by putting on our own show, allegoric, exquisite and jetsetter. Very Fellini, very elephant and lacking in any naïveté. Rashomon Matsuri. On the one hand, Rashomon is Akira Kurosawa's film based on two tales by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. The masterpiece, besides from owning our favorite esoteric moment in the history of cinema, is about the rape of a woman and the apparent murder of her husband. It is narrated by four witnesses with mutually contradictory versions of the incident. We love Rashomon because it is an allegory of Ourselves: fiercely subjective, owners of the truth. Raped due to our stunning beauty. Apparently murdered for loving too much. Thieves just because. Murderers just because. Egocentrics. Lascivious, unfaithfuls and liars. Almost all day skepticals/pessimistics, but at the end of the day We would like to have a baby. Shamanistics, in fact, We are the best medium of the region. And exotic creatures, set in the only Japan that we like: the one from 100 years ago towards back; but deeply unhappy... On the other hand, We have Matsuri, which literally means 'festival', and is a happening entirely folk and tremendous, a kimonoed binge. How come then We dare to wed the dark Rashomon with the radiant Matsuri, and thus sabotage the Fashion Week? Well in principle, just because, because We are Deux jeunes filles en noir aristocratic, filled with velleities, and always do whatever strikes our fancy. Because We believe in the hilarious theory of contrast. Because through the absurd we break down the routine course of reality. And 'coz, obviously, only We know how to exchange one vogue for another. Vogue, like Madonna.
Among the guests were film star Tadanobu Asano, GVGV's designer Mug, TFR's image Nakao, Martin Webb and Yoshiko Chris-Webb, curators Kiki Kudo and Agatha Wara, Uburoi's designer Mitsue Iwata, Gallery Naruyama's Jason, Dolomites' Stefanko Balkano, Shima's Sachiko, Dazed&Confused's Sakiko, Vogue Hommes' Emi, Vogue Taiwan's Lina, Sister's Fuyuri and Narziß's image Sono.

español\\\\Narziß celebro *Tokyo Fahion Week Attacks Rashomon Matsuri And Viceversa* el 5 de Setiembre, 2008.
Francamente, solo queriamos rescatar a la fashion week del olvido, montando nuestro propio show, alegorico, exquisito y jetsetter, very Fellini, very elephant y sin nada de naïveté. Rashomon Matsuri. Por un lado, Rashomon es el filme de Akira Kurosawa basado en dos relatos de Ryunosuke Akutawa. La obra maestra, ademas de poseer nuestro momento esoterico favorito en la historia del cine, trata sobre la violacion de una mujer y el aparente homicidio de su esposo, contado por cuatro testigos con versiones mutuamente contradictorias. Amamos a Rashomon porque es una alegoria de nosotros mismos: ferozmente subjetivos, duenios de la verdad. Violados por nuestra despampanante belleza. Aparentemente asesinados por amar demasiado. Ladrones porque si. Asesinos porque si. Egocentricos. Lascivos, infieles y mentirosos. Casi todo el dia escepticos/pesimistas, pero al final del dia nos gustaria tene un bebito. Chamanisticos, de hecho somos la mejor medium del pueblo. Plus criaturas exoticas, enclavados en el unico Japon que nos gusta: el de hace 100 anios para atras; pero hondamente infelices... Por otro lado, tenemos a Matsuri, que literalmente significa 'festival', y es un acontecimiento enteramente folklorico y apoteosico, una juerga enkimonada. Como asi entonces nos atrevemos a matrimoniar al oscuro Rashomon con la radiante Matsuri, y asi sabotear la Semana de la Moda? Pues en principio, porque si, porque somos Deux jeunes filles en noir aristocraticas y veleidosas y siempre hacemos lo que se nos viene en gana. Porque creemos en la hilarante teoria del contraste. Porque a traves del absurdo rompemos el rutinario curso de la realidad. Y porque, obviamente, Nosotros solo sabemos cambiar una moda por otra, "Vogue" que le dicen, like Madonna.

Narziß celebrated *The Birth Of Venus*

english\\\\Narziß celebrated *The Birth Of Venus* on August 22, 2008, in occassion of the birthday of our muse Sono.
The myth tells that "Venus arose from the foam sea, after the heartless Cronus cut off Uranos' genitals, the primordial god of Sky, and threw them behind him into the sea. Uranos' genitals were carried over the ocean a long time, and white foam arose from the immortal flesh; with it a girl grew already adult and infinitely beautiful". This birth of Venus, rising from the sea all woman, became the most dear representation of the classicals' goddess. Venus, the goddess of beauty and voluptuosity; absolute from the beginning and overwhelmingly desirable. But also, to our grand jubilance, ruthlessly romantic. For Venus wouldn't let Adonis be snatched away from her, and would even go down to the macabre Underworld for him. And Venus would chastise with dreadful tragedies any insinuation against her beauty. And among other vanities, Venus would suborn Paris to be judged the most beautiful of all the goddess, offering him Helen, and with this causing the horrendous Trojan War. Is this particularity, of having been born skipping the ages of innocence, the one that made Her one of the most artful, sinister and less-suffered goddess of the mythology? Well no -there it goes the decadent baby Cupid to prove us there is no age of innocence at all. To our great delight, it is the beauty and the voluptuosity of the Goddess the guilty of her power and of the most dramatic ocurrences. The Mythology teachs us that these happenings are, ultimately, the inoxerable augury of beauty(and We, on the verge of tears, We can not but masturbate imagining the tragedies about ourselves). For to whom are jealousy, the crazy passions and in occassions the will of power due to if not to the muse?
Like Venus, Narziß's muse Sono also inspires us terrifying stories lying underneath her beautiful superficiality. In a realistic level, she has the exquisite attribute of the flesh to captivate us with her form; and in a metaphysical level, she's exactly the type of mysterious creature that We were seeking to pervert our state of mind even more.
Among our guests were Vivienne Sato, Shima's Yuya Nara, Minori and Zoren (Mizo), Martin Webb, Siter's Fuyuri, French writer Isabelle Nobouta and curator Ashley Rawlings. Gallermic's black toga granted by Uburoi.

español\\\\Narziß celebro The Birth Of Venus el 22 de agosto del 2008, con motivo del cumpleanios de nuestra musa Sono.
El mito cuenta que "Venus surgio de la espuma del mar, después de que el desalmado Crono cortase los genitales a su padre Urano, el dios primordial del Cielo, y los arrojase tras él al mar. Los genitales de Urano fueron luego llevados por el piélago durante mucho tiempo. A su alrededor surgía del miembro inmortal una blanca espuma, y en medio de ella nació Venus, una doncella ya adulta e infinitamente hermosa". Este nacimiento de Venus, surgiendo del mar toda mujer, se convirtio en la representacion mas querida de la diosa de los clasicos. Venus, la diosa de la belleza y la voluptuosidad; absoluta desde un comienzo y abrumadoramente deseable. Pero tambien, para nuestro gran jubilo, despiadadamente romantica. Pues Venus no dejaria que le arrebatasen a Adonis, y hasta bajaria al tenebroso Inframundo por el. Y Venus castigaria con espantosas tragedias cualquier insinuacion en contra de su belleza. Y entre otras vanidades, Venus sobornaria a Paris para ser juzgada la mas bella de todas las diosas, ofreciendole a Helena, y con esto, causando la pavorosa Guerra de Troya. Sera esta particularidad, la de haber nacido salteandose las edades de la inocencia, la que hizo de Ella una de las diosas mas arteras, siniestras y menos sufridas de la mitologia? Pues no -ahi tenemos al decadente bebe Cupido para probarnos que no existe edad de la inocencia alguna. Para nuestro gran regocijo, es la belleza y la voluptuosidad de la Diosa la culpable de su poder y de los mas dramaticos acontecimientos. La mitologia nos ensenia que estos sucesos son, finalmente, el inexorable augurio de la belleza (y Nosotros, al borde de las lagrimas, no podemos mas que masturbarnos imaginando las tragedias sobre Nosotros mismos). Pues a quien se deben los celos, las locas pasiones y en ocasiones el deseo del poder si no a la musa? Como Venus, la musa de NarziB Sono tambien nos inspira terrorificas historias yaciendo por debajo de su hermosa superficialidad. En un plano realista, ella tiene el exquisito atributo de la carne para cautivarnos con su forma; y en un plano metafisico, ella es justamente el tipo de criatura misteriosa que buscabamos para pervertir aun mas nuestro estado de mente.
Entre nuestros invitados estuvieron Vivienne Sato, Martin Webb, Minori and Zoren (Mizo), Shima's Yuya Nara, Siter's Fuyuri, la escritora francesa Isabelle Nobouta y el curador Ashley Rawlings. La toga negra de Gallermic otorgada por Uburoi.
