proust’s poetry
“little project of sweet stained glass
to make it was a pain in the ass
on the left are Félicie and Marie
who wash clothes and complain incessantly.
on the right Buninuls cannot open Legras powder
and Binchdinuls comes for alumsinum
Buninuls helps by knee and arms
Binchdinuls is divided by a gothic column
everything here to show Binchdinuls what day it is
not a day goes by without sending a little inscripartus.”

since we talked about tintin previously with dd’s latest post, i thought i could bring up this experimental comic book from matt madden : “tnt in america”. it isn’t new that some people criticize tintin comics as being violent, cruel and sometimes colonialist. madden chose an artistic way to express his vision of america. he took original editions of the comic “tintin in america”, cut the pages one by one, covered them with a thick layer of black ink, rewrote selected words and added pictograms based on the originals’ actions and speech bubbles. at the end, you can’t really tell exactly what’s going on, but it’s got something to do with violence and america by lil

TALIBAN – images found by Thomas Dworzak
“days after the taliban had fled the city of kandahar, the magnum photographer thomas dworzak discovered portraits of men in high-heeled sandals with make-up – a tradition of the native pashtuns long noted for their flamboyancy – hanging up alongside photographs of hollywood movie stars. with sultry poses in front of often garish backdrops, this is an illicit side of the taliban, not expected to be exposed.” from trolly books
