goner

salon 94's bowery location is screening aïda ruilova's Goner (2010) until october 23, closing out right before the end of america's creepiest month. the 11-minute "psychological thriller" explores the capacity of violence in film. keeping with the conventions of slasher flicks, the viewer witnesses the attack through the eyes of our invisible assailant. the victim (played by sonja kinski) represents manifestations of terror in both mind and body, frantically struggling until dying on her bedroom floor. salon 94 is also showing ruilova's more recent film, Prop House, which similarly addresses constructions in film.

in the garden

balenciaga's resort 2012 video. an amazing coordination of art direction, styling, and set design. the mix of playful yet sophisticated colors, slightly disfigured silhouettes, and a utilitarian/feminine aesthetic definitely sends out art-school prodigy vibes. these girls look femme, yes, but don't forget that they are also fatale.
