The Enclave

I this was my absolute favourite work at the Venice Biennale this year.
Richard Mosse's The Enclave was eerie and dreamy and beautiful and fucking disturbing because the violence captured just looked so beautiful.

A friend of mine who has experience with shooting (she grew up in Soviet Russia and learned how to shoot in school) explained that the incongriuity in perspective created by the way the multiple video screens were installed, reminded her of looking down the barrel of a rifle.

One of my lecturers, Geoffrey Hyland, describes the epitome of bad acting as DWF a.k.a 'Distressed White Female.' Think Brooke Logan in The Bold & The Beautiful. The portrayals of emotion are stereotypical, they mean nothing and they're painful to watch (and generally the actresses are damaging their vocal chords). Theses pictures are super DWF, but I still love them.

These hand-painted photographs of Samurai circa 1800 are just insane.

FORM DREAM COMMITTEES: Graffiti from the Paris Riots 1968

Beauty is in the street

I spend therefore I am

(a play on the Descartian mantra 'I think therefore I am,' in French "je pense donc je suis")

It is forbidden to forbid!

Under the paving stones, the beach

Be Young and Be Quiet

(a variation on "sois belle et tais toi" meaning 'sit there and look pretty')

Revolt you cuckold!

Society is a carnivorous flower.

Never work
