Je suis lesbien declares the artist. His legs are encased in black stockings, secured to a suspender belt; his waist is constricted by a tight corset. On his head he wears a veil and a black mask. His fingers press a switch, a shutter clicks and Pierre Molinier, the forgotten Surrealist, is caught on camera forever.
An incestual necrophiliac,
his work specialised in Fetish photomontage.

John Heartfield was one of those who recognized the threat of Nazism early on. Remarkably, he created his
anti-fascist art inside Germany, until 1933 when Hitler came to power. He continued to pointedly satirize the Reich (and those who made it possible, as his bitter image of the League of Nations illustrates) from exile in Czechoslovakia. The nature of his work makes it very clear that Hitler's goals and intentions were obvious well before the war. (

Age Maps - photographer Bobby Neele Adams fuses two photos of the same person from different points in their life, with an
unsettling effect. He uses the same technique for
couples, a unique portrait idea for you all you coupled Mefites. (nsfw, bare breasts) His
Broken Wings series is also worth noting.
