Love it, Julian! Gritty's the word.

Love it, Julian! Gritty's the word.

Thank you, Rob, that it is.

The subject is distantly reminiscent of Mimmo Rotella's art of décollage, but I understand that it starts from different assumptions. Here is one of those images that, in my very humble opinion, would gain a lot from color (but certainly film leaves no choice).

Great stuff, Julian.
Reminds me of lines from a song by a niche band called The Bohemianauts who my daughter introduced me to:

I met her in a bar in Bucharest
I could tell she was different from all rest....
I must admit I felt some fear
When she told me that her name was Vladimir.

Those lyrics are quite good. I'll give The Bohemianauts a look up, never heard of them. Any good?

 

[Peter Roberts]

Any good?

Well, I think so. But in music, as in most things, it's all subjective.

At first I wondered if it was one of those Polaroid/Instax shots where the photographer has physically manipulated the emulsion. But after looking a bit longer I think it's a 'straight' shot of a peeling poster? Definitely intriguing !

 

[Julian Tanase]

That it is, Stevenson, a worn out and cracked advert.
