Photography by Ellen Rogers

Mark Elliot Cullen — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 04:02:19 +0000

An interesting series of photographs from Ellen Rogers. The figures seem to exist in an over processed anachronic void.

There are some really phenomenal pictures in this series, but I hesitate to clutter this page with a long series of photographs. Instead, I suggest you view the whole set on her site. There isn’t really a designation where one set ends and the next begins, but all of her sets are interesting.

The Chalk Cliffs on Rügen, 1825-26

To be honest, I don’t know much about the names dropped below, but the book about Caspar David Friedrich linked above is worth checking out or even buying.

[Caspar David] Friedrich’s own destiny is part of the psychological landscape of his age. In almost every one of the poems by Wihelm Müller that Schubert set in his Winterreise, there are lines that seem to mirror the painter’s distraction and dread of human contact:

Durch des Bergstroms trock’ne Rinnen
Wind’ ich ruhig mich hinab–
Jeder Strom wird’s Meer gewinnen
Jedes Leiden auch sein Grab. (Irrlicht)

(Down the mountain stream’s dry gullies
I calmly pick my way
Every stream will reach the sea,
Every sorrow finds its grave.)

A lightbulb is placed in a block of ice and ink. As it melts, the ink spreads about on its own accord. More views at various stages here.

★ Death Drive in a Cadillac

While I was browsing old car manuals searching for Studebakers, I came across a series of Cadillac brochures which advance the Cadillac lifestyle. As far as I can tell, the Cadillac line moved from sophisticated continental gentlemen to predatory equastrian-based molestation to murderous anti-human technical landscapes.
