Traces by Manuel Vázquez
I recently had the pleasure of working with Manuel Vázquez when he photographed some pieces of my work.
His use of contrasting lights was one of the reasons the resulting photos were so enchanting, as he has a way of isolating objects and people: suspending them in darkness. His recent project, Traces, sees him explore his fascination with the idea of spectatorship. Using these high contrasts, he creates a visual code of ‘the ordinary’, highlighting the question of surveillance cameras.

Alice Devine’s work centers around exploring human behaviour. A Couch in Skegness is a collection of short stories and fillers written and illustrated by Devine and is consequently quite a dark, saddening look into the lives of the lonely. Her witty, subtle humor, combined with her amusing drawings, result in a clever, entertaining and sympathetic observation into life in the internet age. Read more

Do you remember those romantic, vintagy looking ceramic figurines sitting on your grandma’s dresser? Well, Jessica Harrison must have felt about them just the way I did. It takes a quite imaginative mind, plus great talent, to turn a little obsession into true art. She accomplishes that with mind-blowing results that will change the way you look at those statuettes for ever. Read more

The song Blasphemous Rumours by Depeche Mode is just about the most dark, beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. There’s something very compelling about it all: it’s gloomy and depressing during the verses, but then this sexy, almost hypnotically melodic chorus bursts in out of nowhere. The song came out in 1984 and is reputedly based on a true story, with singer Dave Gahan concluding at the end of it all: ‘I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours but I think that God’s got a sick sense of humour, and when I die, I expect to find Him laughing’. Brilliant.
