Javier Cambre's Black Box
Our good friend and colleague, Javier Cambre, has gone and done it. He's somehow captured the surreal, the comic and the disturbing, all in one tidy location, his recently published book of photos called Black Box.
Yes, that's Black Box, like some of those early daguerreotype setups, or perhaps the sort of thing that Houdini employed to make an elephant seem to vanish. Then again, maybe it's just the final resting place for artists and non-artists alike, the sort of place from which revenants rise to torment the living.
Knowing Javier as I do, it's all these things and more, as his vision and its realization are always rife with meaning and possibilities. So, get your copy of Black Box today, and see for yourself.
