just an act

Sometimes small, beautiful and intimate moments can be the most amazing thing.



14 Actors Acting, a series of glimpses- a video gallery of classic screen types. James Franco is charming, even when he is being charmed by himself. The score is by Owen Pallett and it is probably the most defining element (he is so talented). Make sure you watch all of them- I especially liked Tilda Swinton, Vincent Cassel and Chloƫ Moretz.

summer is here


fearful symmetry



Photographs of north London suburbia imbued with a surreal and unsettling symmetry. Every house on the street is the same, a victorian bourgeois utopia. Land shows how over time the identical structures have become slightly different from each other: individualized by their owners. “They appear the same and yet are different at the same time.”

confounding expectations, the “natural” predator-prey relationship does not play itself out here. instead, both animals keep their distance from each other and appear in turn tense, confused, exhausted, and dejected, even oblivious.
