FAVORITE ’08 FASHION SHOW

RODARTE, Summer 09 collection, presented in New York, September 9th.

Angel faces, dressed with ballerina dresses, hooker stockings, walking along a half broken set with some killer shoes. Shooting stars shining under a raw minimalist light.

FAVORITE ’08 ALBUM

LOS ANGELES by FLYING LOTUS (Warp)

Static crunchy synthetic abstract  narrative embodying the soundscape of a city named Los Angeles.

FAVORITE ’08 BOOK

SYNGUÉ SABOUR, pierre de patience by ATIQ RAHIMI (P.O.L)

In between fiction and poesy, a violent fairytale drawn in clear-cut imagery, portraying the turnover of a woman living in Afghanhistan or any other state of war.

FAVORITE ’08 ART SHOW

A VOW OF POVERY by OSCAR TUAZON at MACCARONE, NY

Poverty grants clarity. Poverty reinforces a strictly rational relation to objects, forces, events, people.

An awareness and welcoming of death. Approach death. Live with death.
