Willy Wonka is in Beirut!



OK, no, he isn't. But Matt Crump was here! Which is (almost) the same thing.
For volume 24 of Plastik Magazine, creative director Ryan Houssari collaborated with 'candy-colored' photography minimalist Matt Crump for the photo-series Minimal Beirut proving that there's oh-so-much fun you can have playing with a context that hasn't met its creative potential yet. Beirut.

Each photo includes socio-laden icons, but refreshingly, none demand debate desperately. Oh, the beauty of minimalism.

I've been thinking about these photos for a week now. Needless to say, I never, ever forget the candy I see.

Enjoy the sugar rush.
