Pharus II - Landscapes and Photographic Fictions

Matilde Marín

Sinossi

Matilde Marín in Pharus II. Landscapes and Photographic Fictions again embarks on a visual journey that documents and recreates lighthouses of the world. This work illuminates with reddish tones the lighthouses that are the return home - in the reverse journey to Pharus. From the southern hemisphere to the north - now the artist goes from Iceland to the southernmost south of Argentina. In this displacement with documentary images and fictional landscapes Marín presents lighthouses that are not only physical guides at sea, but by their visuality now reveal spaces of fascination and are the occasion to imagine new narratives that revitalise these symbols of memory and history. Laura Malosetti Costa expresses that the lighthouses evoke concepts and narratives such as those of the voyage, shipwreck, tragedy, and are the result of both the artist's experiences and her literary readings. Adriana Musitano analyses the abyssal settings that partially duplicate the lighthouses in their reflections and observes that Marín astonishes with images that create a utopian space by creating photographic fictions that link the landscape of the Salinas Grandes of Argentina with faraway places. The lighthouses and constellations in this ebook illuminate our planet and the planisphere shows them in relation to the cardinal points, seas and continents. Marín narrates his return home and also his trip to Egypt, when he learns about the place where the first lighthouse was, Alexandria. The Lighthouses of affection are added, with photographs of her friends, remembering her.

Listen as Babs Johnson fights to hold on to her title as “Filthiest Person Alive,“ fending off the craven attempts to dethrone her by her nemeses Connie and Raymond Marble.Waters takes us on a romp through his filthy vision of Baltimore, from a child’s playpen occupied by an egg-worshipping grandmother to unhinged kangaroo courts, to the film’s iconic and revolting coup de grace (no spoilers, but it is just as stomach-churning on the page more than fifty years later!). Pink Flamingos is John Waters at his provocative, disgusting, piety-puncturing best, with the hellish and hilarious trash masterpiece that first made him a household name.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Mastering the Russian Accent: A Guide for Actors is the essential resource for performers looking to convincingly portray Russian characters. This comprehensive audiobook breaks down the core differences between Russian and English phonetics, building a strong foundation for authentic accent work. It thoroughly covers the key sounds of a Russian accent, including consonant variations, pure vowels, and the distinctive rolled "r," along with techniques for developing appropriate vocal placement, resonance, and breath control for a natural delivery. Listeners will learn how stress, rhythm, and intonation contribute to a believable accent.

Importantly, the audiobook goes beyond technical drills to explore the historical, cultural, and psychological influences shaping how Russian speakers use English. This includes insights into communication styles, formality, and the impact of cultural identity on speech. Understanding these nuances allows actors to create richer, more believable portrayals that resonate with audiences.

Practical exercises reinforce the technical lessons, while analyses of professional actors' performances provide real-world examples of successful accent work. A dedicated media study guide offers valuable tools for continuous improvement and ongoing practice.

The National's Boxer

Ryan Pinkard

We all know the Boxer. The fighter who remembers every glove but still remains. That grisly, bruised American allegory who somehow gets up more times than he’s knocked down. This is the fight that nearly broke The National. The one that allowed them to become champions.Released in 2007, The National’s fourth full-length album is the one that saved them. For fans, Boxer is a profound personal meditation on the unmagnificent lives of adults, an elegant culmination of their sophisticated songwriting, and the first National album many fell in love with. For the band, Boxer symbolizes an obsession, a years-long struggle, a love story, a final give-it-everything-you’ve-got effort to keep their fantasy of being a real rock band alive.Based on extensive original interviews with the fighters who were in the ring and the spectators who witnessed it unfold, Ryan Pinkard obsessively reconstructs a transformative chapter in The National’s story, revealing how the Ohio-via-Brooklyn five-piece found the sound, success, and spiritual growth to evolve into one of the most critically acclaimed bands of their time.
