phantom
Once more into my arid days like dew, Like wind from an oasis, or the sound Of cold sweet water bubbling underground, A treacherous messenger, the thought of you Comes to destroy me; once more I renew Firm faith in your abundance, whom I found Long since to be but just one other mound Of sand, whereon no green thing ever grew. And once again, and wiser in no wise, I chase your colored phantom on...

AQUARIUS [January 20–February 18] The Beauvais Cathedral in northern France has been called “the most daring achievement of Gothic architecture.” Its soaring facades, carved wooden doors, stained-glass windows, and astronomical clock demonstrate high artistry. There’s a problem with the place, however: It hasn’t been completed. Work began in the year 1225, and experts...

Nature is a temple, where, from living pillars, a flux of confused words is, sometimes, allowed to fall: Man travels it, through forests of symbols, that all observe him, with familiar looks. Like far echoes that distantly congregate, in a shadowy and profound unity, vast as the night air, in its clarity, perfumes, colours, sounds reverberate. There are fresh perfumes, like the flesh of...

pandrogyne
“My project is not about gender. Some feel like a man trapped in a woman’s body, others like a woman trapped in a man’s body. The pandrogyne says, I just feel trapped in a body. The body is simply the suitcase that carries us around. Pandrogyny is all about the mind, consciousness.”
– Genesis Breyer P-Orridge
A screening of “The Ballad of Genesis & Lady Jaye” will be followed...

森ガール
Mori means forest in Japanese, and the disciples look like fairytale forest wanderers. They’re partial to antique lace and hiking boots. If you want to know Mori, immerse yourself in the Mori Girl culture.

What inspired me to create more than 500 variations on the face of a woman? I don’t know. I began to make them and I never stopped.
Piero Fornasetti’s (1913-1988) trademark was a portrait of opera singer, Lina Cavalieri, found in a magazine from the 1800’s. Own your own piece of Tema e Variazioni.

leda & the swan
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill, He holds her helpless breast upon his breast. How can those terrified vague fingers push The feathered glory from her loosening thighs? And how can body, laid in that white rush, But feel the strange heart beating where it lies? A shudder in the loins...

moon
It’s said that tonight’s full moon is the smallest and faintest of the year…
Art thou pale for weariness Of climbing Heaven, and gazing on the earth, Wandering companionless Among the stars that have a different birth,— And ever changing, like a joyless eye That finds no object worth its constancy?

Sarah Moon’s Improbable Memories (1981) is a myth unless you have a large disposable income or trusty library card. Thankfully, a Russian enthusiast has gone out of her way to scan the entire book. Works include shots from the 1972 Pirelli Calendar, of which Moon was the first woman to shoot. I want everything in my world to look this way.
