✖ Via California is a place: Honey Pie still photography by Zackary Canepari

About the Honey Pie project:

Her lips are full pink. Her teal green eyes are intense and inviting. Her black eyeliner accentuates her high cheekbones and her strawberry hair complements her light African skin. Her metallic halter dress holds her supple thighs and pushes on her round breast. She is the result of careful attention and workmanship. When you see her up close, you can’t help but stare. At $6000, she’s certainly not a cheap date. For creator Matt McMullen, she’s a work of art. For everyone else, she’s a Real Doll.

California is a place also produced a video of their visit to the Real Doll factory. Read an interview with Matt McMullen over at the MONK Magazine. Visit the official website of Real Doll and learn more about those on wikipedia.

Je crois profondément que la civilisation a été inventée pour rendre possible la solitude.
✖ Via Du Sens by Renaud Camus, P.O.L., 2002, p. 327
“Renaud Camus is a French writer, born in 1946 in Chamalières, Puy-de-Dôme, in the Auvergne region of France. He spent some time studying in England and traveling in the US, particularly New York and California (he taught for a semester in a college in Arkansas). He quickly began to circulate among writers (Louis Aragon, Roland Barthes, Marguerite Duras, etc.) and visual artists (the Warhol circle, the New York School, Gilbert and George, etc.).” (wikipedia)

✖ Via Edward Hopper: “Office in A Small City”, 1953

This painting by Hopper was used for the French edition of Herman Melville’s “Bartleby”. It’s more than a perfect match: I can’t think of Bartleby state of mind without thinking of the contemplative figure haunting Hopper’s painting : lost in his thought, maybe, or lost in our world.

✖ Via Denis Peterson: “Dust to Dust”, 39”x39” , acrylic and oil on canvas

About Denis Peterson:

“Denis Peterson was one of the first Photorealists to emerge in New York. He is widely acknowledged as the pioneer and primary architect of Hyperrealism which was founded upon the aesthetic principles of Photorealism. Author Graham Thompson wrote “One demonstration of the way photography became assimilated into the art world is the success of photorealist painting in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is also called super-realism or hyper-realism and painters like Richard Estes, Denis Peterson, Audrey Flack, and Chuck Close often worked from photographic stills to create paintings that appeared to be photographs.” (wikipedia)

✖ Via Dogtooth, Yorgos Lanthimos, 2009
“The father, the mother and their three kids live at the outskirts of a city. There is a tall fence surrounding the house. The kids have never been outside that fence. They are being educated, entertained, bored and exercised in the manner that their parents deem appropriate, without any influence from the outside world. They believe that the airplanes flying over are toys and that zombies are small yellow flowers. The only person allowed to enter the house is Christina. She works as a security guard at the father’s business. The father arranges her visits to the house in order to appease the sexual urges of the son. The whole family is fond of her, especially the eldest daughter. One day Christina gives her as a present a headband that has stones that glow in the dark and asks for something in return.”
