The Happy Gentleman

Hyungkoo Lee

Hyungkoo Lee is just one of many, many talented South Korean artists that I admire. This image comes from a series of interesting images created with invented "medical inspired" braces. They remind me the fantastical "pseudo-science" of French sci-fi like Jeunet & Caro's Le Cite Des Enfants Perdus

and Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys

which itself was adapted from the French film La Jetee.

Bone Chapels

I enjoy this myspace blog, the gentleman travels a lot and these images are from portugal. I am continually fascinated by bone chapels, both because of the notion of the body as architecture, but also because of the way in which these images and places have been cast out of our cultural consciousness... Check out the blog here.
