Collaborating with celebrated talents such as Julianne Moore, Keira Knightley, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Cronenberg and Ennis developed each character, built her world, and then photographed as she lived the role before the camera.

Download or read book Ariel Pink s Haunted Graffiti Selected Lyrics written by Anthony Atlas and published by Nieves. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tiré du site Internet de Nieves: ""Ariel Pink's haunted Graffiti - Selected lyrics" is the debut print publication solely featuring L.A. songwriter Ariel Pink, and the first survey of his lyrics. Unequivocally influencing underground music in the last decade, Ariel Pink's twisted catalog of pop music also bears an exceedingly animated literary world. With thirty-seven lyrics culled from both well-known and obscure releases, the songs in Selected Lyrics span the entirety of Ariel Pink's recording tenure, and together comprise a kind of "best-of", a one-stop tour of Pink's recurrent themes and fascinations. In "Selected lyrics", Pink's tragic dramas of domestic pain come to vivid life in "L'estat (acc. to the widow's maid)" and in lyrics to some of Pink's most beloved songs "Envelopes another day", "Among dreams" and "Life in L.A." These songs are contrasted by others more brashly and viscerally imagined, such as the lurid saga of the neutered cat in "Jules lost his jewels", the sexually inconclusive gender destroyer "Menopause man," and the Darby Crash-esque "Tractor man", a point-of-view confessional from a roaming marauder on a spree in the farms of California. Contrarily, the flickering lamplit beauty of "Let's build a campfire there" reads like a user-manual for backwoods escape in one of Pink's many tranquil masterpieces : "Our faces float bright like distant porch light / for a stranger who is far from home / let's build a campfire there." As the Haunted fraffiti namesake conveys, an antagonistic notion of defacement remains a core feature of Pink's talent for dispatching lyrics in so many indelible guises and seemingly disparate consciousnesses. "Selected lyrics" explores this range, and gives fans authoritative transcriptions of Pink's most classic material, which, famously, has been so difficult to comprehend by ear due to lower-fidelity recordings. Included in the text are several pages of lyrics in their original hand, a reproduction of a fantastic unseen drawing by Ariel Pink, and a thorough discography in the index."

Download or read book Atlas of the New Dutch Water Defence Line written by Clemens M. Steenbergen and published by 010 Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This atlas addresses the New Dutch Water Defence Line (Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie) on a themed basis. Its position in the landscape, the forts, the inundation system, the geomorphology, the strategic system and recent developments can be read off in maps rendered so as to give an understanding of all aspects of the defence line landscape. The defence line reveals itself as a many-tentacled military defensive system of forts, group shelters and polders that can be flooded at the threat of war. The maps show the cohesion of the defence line as a landscape-strategic structure as well as the topographic composition of this structure in layers and components. The more detailed maps of the forts display the wealth of historic places, insertions in the landscape and defining elements. The atlas offers administrators something to lean on and designers a sense of freedom - a solid stepping-off point for getting this unique national landscape literally back on the map. Essays place the New Dutch Water Defense Line in a historical perspective
