representation as abstraction. composition as symbolism. beautiful beautiful work.

nice!

Quoted: Narahashi semi-submerges herself in the ocean, aims her waterproof camera toward the shore and photographs warped perspectives of land and sea. Are these the marine observations of an aquatic creature or the final sights of a drowning man? The uneasy ambiguity is part of what makes Narahashi’s images so compelling.

Quoted: "Renegade artist and head-hunter the Decapitator has been bombarding the streets of London with a signature style of graffiti tag - eerily removing the heads from major adverts around town, replacing them with ghastly, gory stumps."

re-reading this for the long weekend. which has been awesome so far: food, naps, youtube, more naps, and the rest of the internets. can i get a hell yea?!

Quoted: Full text of Benjamin's epoch-making work

Quoted: Tatsumi Orimoto's pictures are closely related to his performances, in which he faces up to the everyday life, the aging and questions related to social communication. The solo exhibition in C/O Berlin shows two different series of photographic works based on his "Bread Man" performances, in which he communicates with people on streets everywhere in the world with numerous loafs of bread bound around his head.

lol!!! i can just imagine how he convinced that older lady (who's possible a relative) to do those pictures. she's got that perfect "wtf?" expressions on her face!

Quoted: PICTUREPEOPLE... concentrates on the human representation in found amateur photography. The photographs become part of fictions - due to their re-contextualisation - and reveal different phenomena in human representation, interrogating mainly cultural and social issues, thus making connections to other fields of representation. The text accompanying each series of pictures serves as an introduction - hopefully leading to further reflexions.

awesome site. not about craft obviously. but nonetheless interesting.

Quoted: Deleted Images is a collection of images that would have been deleted otherwise.

what a great concept!
