Medusa: Second Prequel



1. Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2010 by Satoshi Saikusa
2. Li, H.R. Giger 1974

Facing the condemned and seemingly unaesthetic. The ugly and hated. To finally establish a version of beauty and fascination that is constituted of one's very own fears and preconceptions.

Vegetable Portraits



Giuseppe Arcimboldo Vertumnus, 1591 vs. Irving Penn 1996

I am full of admiration for Giuseppe Arcimboldo's radical violation against established art definitions of his time. Provocative and forward-thinking, his portraits maintain unquestioned relevance until the very today.
