Jarke boje poput narandžaste, tirkizne i pink, simetrija, nostalgija za prošlim vremenima i starim vozevima, telefonskim govornicama i zaboravljenim prometnim znakovima, hoteli i svetionici… sve je to do prepoznatljive estetike filmova Wesa Andersona koju ponekad možemo pronaći oko nas, a može nas i navesti da posmatramo već viđene prostore na sasvim drugačiji način ili nas motivisati da otputujemo u potragu za fantastičnim, ali stvarnim krajolicima.

Scenografija se često čini kao prava zvezda njegovih filmova, koja ima moć da dočara neobičnu atmosferu, a to su prepoznali i Wally i Amanda, bračni par iz Brooklyna, koji su 2017., stvarajući svoju bucket listu za putovanja, otvorili Instagram profil Accidentally Wes Anderson. On se u međuvremenu pretvorio u pravu zajednicu od preko milion ljubitelja Andersonovih filmova koji pronalaze zanimljiva mesta na svim kontinentima i dele njihove priče.

____________________ Yōrō Railway 🚃 Gifu Prefecture, Japan 🇯🇵 c.1913 • Covering 36 miles through the center of Japan, the Yōrō Railway runs through the landlocked Gifu Prefecture. Although the Railway was first opened in 1913, it cuts through areas of Japan whose histories date back as early as the 4th century • The land that makes up modern-day Gifu Prefecture was first documented during the 4th century when it joined the Yamato Court, an ancient polity of Japan. The area later became a hotbed for many historic battles including a major battle during the Jinshin War in 672, which led to the reign of Japan’s 40th monarch Emperor Tenmu • The region's long history with war and weaponry continued well into the medieval era. Gifu Prefecture emerged as Japan’s center for swordmaking and the city of Seki became known for making the best swords in the country. During the 16th century, the prefecture received its modern name after the capital city of Gifu, which was named by Oda Nobunaga, a powerful lord known as the first “Great Unifier” of Japan. During the 1560s, Nobunaga launched a war against other samurai to unify the country • When the Yōrō Railway was built in the early 20th century, the region had entered into a relatively peaceful and prosperous time. Of course, WW2 would bring colossal damage to Japan with the United States carrying out air raids over the prefecture and bombing Gifu, which operated as an industrial center at the time • Today, the area is a center for fashion and aerospace engineering. Those traveling on the Yōrō Railway can experience breathtaking views throughout the Prefecture including the Yōrō Mountains and the ancient lands that hold so much of its history • Know more?

____________________ Grand Hotel 🏨 Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 c. 1972 • Originally the headquarters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s “O” Division, the Grand Hotel is located in the Garden District in downtown Toronto. When the RCMP headquarters was first built,it included a vault in the basement. Today, that basement houses this grand swimming pool of the Grand Hotel • The origin of the RCMP – or “Mounties” – dates back to the turn of the 20th century. Inspired by the Mounties from the Royal Irish Constabulary, Prime Minister Macdonald began developing a force to patrol the North-West Territories. In 1873, he formed the force, then known as the North-West Mounted Police • Responsibilities quickly spread far and wide across Canada. In 1904, the force officially changed its name to Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the new organization was responsible for federal law enforcement in all of Canada’s provinces and territories • By the 1970s, the RCMP had been established for roughly a century and by then was a full member of Interpol. In 1972, the O Division moved from the Beverly Street Barracks to the new highrise. After operating there for twenty years, the RCMP relocated to London, Ontario. In 1999, the building was then renovated and transformed into the Grand Hotel • Now the building faces transformation once again. In 2019, developers filed plans to redevelop the property, proposing the addition of a 45-storey condominium tower that would include 541 units. Demolition moved forward in July 2020, and Little is known of how much of the stately concrete building will be taken down • Know more?

Premda sam Wes Anderson nema veze s projektom, pružio im je podršku i napisao predgovor za knjigu koja je izdata ove godine, a rezultat je dokumentovanja fotografija i priča mesta koja odražavaju rediteljevu jedinstvenu estetiku. Od Australije, preko Indije, do Slovenije i Islanda, ove fotografije dokazuju da možemo pronaći umetnost i magičnu atmosferu u svakodnevnici, a mogu nas i motivisati da posetimo daleka mesta na kojima žive ljudi koji dele istu ljubav prema lepom i prema filmu.

____________________ Grand Hotel Tremezzo Lake Como, Italy c. 1910 • In a time of great innovation and exuberance, and years before the world found itself on the brink of war, the Grand Hotel Tremezzo emerged along the banks of Lake Como. Built in 1910, the hotel was created for society’s elite and over the last 100 years has continued to embody the spirit of the effervescent Belle Époque era • Inspired by his travels across Europe, Enea Gandola opened the Grand Hotel in the summer of 1910. Upon its opening the Tremezzo was met with great public celebration and a massive party. International travelers flocked to the Hotel for years until the outbreak of WW1 • For more than a year, the Hotel was requisitioned for use as a military hospital. After peace was restored in Europe, there was a brief revival of the exclusive 'Grand Tour’ of the 17th and 18th Centuries. But the advent of the railway expanded travel from being a privilege of the elite to that of the many, and the Tremezzo adapted with the times • In the 1930s, the Sampietro family took over operations. They would navigate the difficult waters of the Great Depression and even keep the doors open through WWII. Eventually the post-war spike in international travel returned, and the Grand Hotel adapted to become a place of unpretentious luxury • A third family would take the helm in 1975, vowing to return the hotel to its original splendor – including the many original frescos that cover the Grand Hotel’s ceiling. Today, the tradition of family-owned Italian hospitality continues, and, as Greta Garbo once proclaimed, the Grand Hotel Tremezzo remains “that happy, sunny place” it has always been • Know more?
