So incredibly beautiful and haunting.

In Turbulent, Neshats 1998 two-screen video installation, two singers (Shoja Azari playing the role of the male and Iranian Vocalist and composer Sussan Deyhim as the female) create a powerful musical metaphor for the complexity of gender roles and cultural power within the framework of ancient Persian music and poetry.

Man Ray

Emak-Bakia (Basque for Leave me alone) is a 1926 film directed by Man Ray.

This film is visually stunning; especially the abstract beginning!

Movie Poster of the Week (aka Adrian Curry) over at MUBI did a nice little (or large rather) round up of his favorite Robert Bresson movie posters.

Have a look, you’ll be glad you did.
