Androgynous and Frankensteinian Appeal
"'Michael Jackson is a solitary mutant, precursor of a mixing of the races which will be perfect because universal, of the new post-racial race, so to speak. The children today have no hangups about the idea of a mixed-race society; such a society is their world and Michael Jackson prefigures what they think of as an ideal future' (Alain Soral).
It must also be pointed out that Michael Jackson has had his face rebuilt, his hair straightened, his skin lightened - in short, that he has constructed himself in every tiny detail. It is this which makes him a pure, innocent child - the artificial androgyne of the fable, who, better than Christ, can reign over the world and bring reconciliation, because he is better than the child-god: he is a prosthesis-child, an embryo of all the forms of mutation we have imagined to deliver us from race and sex." Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories

The Launderette Party Photography Exposition
Documentation of our inaugural Surfing|Swimming Launderette Party was various and fragmentary. Here are compiled a selection of those photographs which we consider to be evocative of the occasion.




After lengthy deliberation, we decided to award prizes to Riyo Nemeth and Anon* for their photographs; each will receive a 36-Exposure roll of Kodak 'Color Plus' camera film.
Riyo Nemeth

Anon.

First prize, however, goes to this stunning photograph, taken by Nabihah Iqbal:

For her efforts, Nabihah has won a yellow plastic ‘Focus Free’ handheld camera.
*We must now graciously request the agent of this photograph to come forward.
