anglophillic paper about the queer subtext in Britten's Turn of the Screw, as it relates to the sexual implications of Kennedy's latin primer.


Mogawli, a robot that leapfrogs, of course from japan.

kohei yokeshi's photos of toyko couples having polymporphus sex in bushes, reminds me of Fukase photos of ravens, in how they suggest movement abstractly, and have a kind of sinister, furtive energy.


ATF Moonshine Van, Mid 60s

whole digitzed codex gigas, one of the most important omnibus of early medieval religious material, with bible, two texts by flavius jospheus, and the encylopedia of isidore. all hand drawn, hand lettered, with some fantastic marginalia. (look at the picture of the devil.)

gq sells its journalistic ethics.

A still life of flowers in a vase

(i love how full this image is, nothing is out of place, nothing is chaotic, but it is so overwhelmingly huge. obscenely luxiourous)

Prada, Spring, 08

grant hamiltion's polaroid photographs manage to work thru the two formal questions the media approaches, the ready made frame, and the saturated colour. the abstractions, and the clean, well constructed shapes and forms, are smooth without being vapid. the diptychs fit together in the same way as some of the more famous hard edged abstractionists, but smaller, more domestic and more intimate. some of them are too awkward, and fail to work, and the collection would have suited a slight edit, but thats minor quibbling. i find them really inspirational.
