Photobook Recommendations: The Xmas Edition
This holiday season’s hottest photobook lineup is: Nan Goldin, Larry Sultan, Miles Aldridge, and the Surrealists. This list has everything: moody suburban dads, glitter-drenched mannequins, naked people crying, and Salvador Dalí high on absinthe in a silk robe. It’s ike if your seasonal cheer came with a safe word.
Recommended Listening: The Old Men Edition
Three albums for your pleasure. Scott Walker & Sunn O))) drag you into the void. Swans pummel you into the floorboards. And Robert Plant, somehow, walks away with the sexiest, strangest record of the bunch.
Photobook Recommendations: The Uncomfortable Intimacy Edition
Three photobooks that blur the line between intimacy and intrusion, by Antoine d’Agata, Alan Moore & Melinda Gebbie, and Sandra S. Phillips.
