mona kuhn • evidence

hot off the press from steidl (one of my favorite book publishers) is mona kuhn's new book, evidence. the photos are a flurry of idealized naked bodies, lush sunlight, and ephemeral out-of-focus prettiness. for those of you here in nyc mona will be doing a book signing this thursday night at the charles cowles gallery. for those of you a bit further away, take a peek at mona's work here.

asswich

um, sorry i just couldn't resist. this has to be one of the most abject photographs of all times. let's pretend this was an outtake from a burger king ad campaign.

[actually came across it here.]

michele abeles

there's something curiously uncomfortable about the vision of male sexuality portrayed in these pictures by yale mfa student michele abeless. have a peek at more of her work here.

diana scherer • pairs

diana scherer's work uses flat photographic cut-outs of people to jarring effect. i especially like the strange way the figures are paired, the imperfectness of the bodies, and how we never get to see any of their faces. in that last respect, sort of an interesting contrast to the reverse portraits by marjaana kella i posted about a few days ago.

you can take a peek at more of diana's work here. she is represented by van zoetendaal collections in amsterdam.
