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.
