Vaccu-packed couples by Haruhiko ‘Hai’ Kawaguchi

quote [This art project has been circulating on art blogs for a few months, but you may find it as intriguing as I did when I stumbled across it a few days ago. Flesh Love (aka Fresh Love) was conceived and midwifed by Japanese artist Haruhiko Kawaguchi (Hai).
Kawaguchi finds in-love couples of varying sexual orientations at parties and clubs in Tokyo and convinces them to come back to his studio where he photographs them in giant, airless and skin-tight see-through vacuum bags]. A photo gallery and more on Tumblr.

Barbara Nitke: American Ecstasy Book

American Ecstasy is a memoir in pictures and words of the twelve years photographer Barbara Nitke spent shooting stills on porn movie sets in New York City. [Photo Gallery].
The book takes place in the 1980's at the end of the Golden Age of Porn, as the industry transitioned from high budget, scripted film productions to smaller and ever cheaper video shoots. Nitke's images reveal the contradictions inherent in the business - great beauty, tinged with sadness, punctuated by surreal silliness. As she chronicles the sights and sounds of life on the sets, her stories also reveal her own struggle to come to terms with the end of her marriage and her fascination with the sexual outlaws of the porn world. Among the porn stars featured are Ron Jeremy, Vanessa del Rio, Nina Hartley, Sharon Mitchell, Sharon Kane, Siobhan Hunter, Jeanna Fine, Damian Cashmere, Tasha Voux, and many more. Directors include Henri Pachard, Candida Royalle, Lasse Braun and others. American Ecstasy is now available online.

Bread art by Milena Korolczuk

quote [Oakland-based artist Milena Korolczuk is best known for her work in film, but has recently turned to the medium of Wonder Bread. With the bread and water, she forms a malleable entity, and using precise instruments, she fashions tiny sculptures of iconic historical, pop culture, literature, and art images. Her renditions of these figures are impressively accurate and faithful. Figures pictured are Walt Disney, Vladimir Lenin, Plato, Claude Levi-Strauss, Prometheus, John Malkovich, Andy Warhol, Jay-Z, Jean-Paul Sartre, Stonehenge, Earth and Marina Abramović].
