If someone told you they were really into “Holocaust Porn”, would you think that:

A. The porn was set in a concentration camp

ID: oh man

i saw the scariest shit ever the other day
a pink party bus
i was in a taxi next to it
LM: HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA
ID: and a bunch of kids were grinding in the aisle
LM: hahahahahahahaaaaa
ID: i started cracking up
but i was crying inside
it was sooooo awful
LM: i’m literally laughing in my cubicle
ID: i literally was like, this is emblematic of EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH THE
WORLD
LM: i wonder if they do …. bah mitzvahs?… 25th birthday parties??
people grinding anywhere – particularly in a pink party bus – is always a red flag to the rapid demise of our civilization.

“102 Colors from my Dreams”

July 2, 2009

I was completely enchanted by this piece by Spencer Finch when I saw it this past December at Art Basel in Miami (where in the world was I.D.?) and have managed to track down some nice pictures of it. Finch made Rorschachs of colors that he claims to have seen in his dreams. Beneath each are tiny explanations such as “Knitting a sweater and crying” or “Ham in a Mercedes Limousine”, etc.

Anne Louise Lambert as Miranda in Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock

Anne Louise Lambert as Miranda in Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock

JUSTIN MURPHY, JOURNALIST: One of those is Ann-Louise Lambert. Her character, the enchanting Miranda, had a surreal presence in the film – ethereal, untouchable, mysterious. One of her experiences on location connects eerily with that character. After one tough filming session where nothing went well, Lambert, in full costume, wandered off into the bush to be alone. She soon realised she was being followed. She turned to find an old woman clambering over the rocks towards her. Instantly, she recognised Joan Lindsay.

ANN-LOUISE LAMBERT, ACTOR: And she came up to me and just threw her arms around me immediately. And she said directly into my ear, um, “Oh, Miranda. It’s been so long.” And she was very emotional. And, um, and she just hung on to me for what seemed a long time. And finally she let me go and sort of stared at me. And she was, you know…she had tears in her eyes. And she was quite shaky. And it felt very…like a very powerful, very true thing, you know, that she was feeling. She was remembering somebody or something that was true.
