what if i should fall right through the center of the earth

it is one of those weeks where I would like to encounter anthropomorphic creatures down my own little rabbit hole, and end up on the other side of the world.  here instead, is a viscerally dangerous manhole in the middle of a sidewalk in Danyang, China.  thirty feet deep and infinitely explicit.  more seen here.  photo by jason lucas.  by sv

ROBERT POLIDORI X BOTTEGA VENETA

after robert longo, nan goldin, sam taylor wood and others, it was a good surprise to see bottega veneta collaborating again with an unexpected artist for their campaign. robert polidori set the campaign in a venice palazzo which reminds me of his work in versailles… unfortuately i’m not sure i like the shots with the lame model, but it’s always nice to see these rare people at work in the behind the scenes. by pp.

KIMBERLY®

i wish i could find out something about this kimberly brand. nada. the only thing i know is that they were one of the many advertisers (especially compared to today) during the 60’s-70’s using illustration. but wait, isn’t that jean shrimpton in the middle? maybe that unsuspecting shoot by david bailey helped establish this new grammar of seeing, and eased a little more creative storytelling in the more personally identifiable and coy medium of photography that we all love so much.  by kl
