Georges Rousse
French photograher, works with superimposed images over desolate/destroyed spaces. I enjoy the graphic nature of his work that makes you give every image a second/third/forth look. Much more of his work from the 1990s through to today can be found here at acidolatte.

It was directed by John Hillcoat, who directed the films The Proposition and The Road. He was also the director of the video for Time Is Running Out by Muse, which takes it’s inspiration from the war room in...

Tolkien Tokyo
Tolkien’s Moria come to life? No it’s the Tokyo sewer system…
Fascinating that something built with such purpose the precision was never meant to see the light of day. The marks of the concrete from the formwork are reminiscent of the work of Tadao Ando where the processes of construction and especially concrete are celebrated, recognized and revealed as part of the work....
