EXECUTION PORTRAITS

Monday, April 23, 2012

From Doug Rickard’s terrific site American Suburb X, haunting portraits of Cambodian prisoners at Tuol Sleng taken soon before their execution by the Khmer Rouge (the images were published by Twin Palms in Killing Fields). What is most incredible and most terrifying about these images is the lack of emotion on most of the subjects’ [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: AUSTRA

Monday, April 23, 2012

While some are obsessing over the return of Beach House, I am totally addicted to last year’s debut album Feel it Break by Austra. Strangely beautiful video as well for Beat and the Pulse by Claire Edmonson.

Saturday, April 21, 2012
