Strangely disturbing in a sort of Diane Arbus way.

Perhaps you've seen the video installation in which the film 'Fur' is screened on a monitor mounted in a tombstone over a grave in which the DVD, on which a picture of Diane Arbus is printed, is spinning . . .

Nope, I have not seen that.

I've only just sketched it on the back of an envelope!
Something tells me she wouldn't have approved of the film . . .

Diane Arbus is one of my favs. A few years back, there was a pretty thorough international retrospective exhibit of her work. I caught it in San Francisco and the Book which was published in conjunction with this exhibit is outstanding. The Title is "Diane Arbus Revelations".

How about a new thread: favourite Diane Arbus images?
Please link to them from elsewhere on the web . . .
