Before the availability of the tape recorder and during the 1950s, when vinyl was scarce, people in the Soviet Union began making records of banned Western music on discarded x-rays. With the help of a special device, banned bootlegged jazz and rock ‘n’ roll records were “pressed” on thick radiographs salvaged from hospital waste bins and then cut into discs of 23-25 centimeters in diameter. “They would cut the X-ray into a crude circle with manicure scissors and use a cigarette to burn a hole,” says author Anya von Bremzen. “You’d have Elvis on the lungs, Duke Ellington on Aunt Masha’s brain scan — forbidden Western music captured on the interiors of Soviet citizens.”

A.F. Vandevorst installation for Arnhem Mode Biennale 2011

“A girl sleeping in a hospital bed in her A.F. Vandevorst dress. But here, the girl as well as the mattress and pillow are made out of candle wax. Once lit, what starts as a perfect image will slowly melt and perish during the biennale.”

any time a male director says i just want a real reaction that's why i endangered or purposefully harmed an actress:

1. that's a snuff film. there is no longer any artistic, social, or legitimate merit to this piece. we as a society do not stand here and say well, cinema. no fucking excuses, no simpering about how it's good besides that. fuck you.

2. this should be considered an admission of guilt and should be immediately grounds for an investigation and trial. he should be stripped of any accolades and access. he orchestrated someone else's trauma. that is not noteworthy. that is a felony.

3. each and every single one of these men should be forced through the trial they are so fucking keen to capture. if it's that important to get a real reaction, why can't it be your reaction? after all, if the actress don't need to be acting, why not just make the director do it? why not make his children? why not make each of these motherfuckers stand up and put their money where their mouth is and say -- if it's that important to you to hurt somebody, you fucking do it. or is it only cinema when it's hurting someone who fits your fantasy?
