about the artist~
ROBERT MANN
I hope one finds my photographs an experience rich in dream
s and that they induce an exploration of the psyche. 

Several different lens less cameras are used to accomplish this. The pinhole camera has a way of suggesting objects rather than representing them because of the particular quality the pinhole image produces. This suggestive character carries with it a more profound mystery, which is not found on the surface of the image but rather in the possibilities of interpretation. The pinhole camera provides the aesthetic means needed for a subjective experience by the viewer.

MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE







I went to a screening of a new film-
 Martha Marcy May Marlene, on tuesday- october 18th, 2011.
the film is a study of a young woman's emotional turbulence after leaving a cult. 

The film explores the post traumatic stress which nearly unhinges a young woman after her escape from the controlling confines of her “family,” a cult whose members live on a farm in rural New York state. 

Written & directed by Sean Durkin. this is his first film. the directing is pro, the writing is classic, the cinematography, (jody lee lipes) is beautiful, eerie and melancholy,  Sean Durkin is someone to watch. He will be big.

Elizabeth Olsen portrays Martha, the fragile young woman who is trying to escape the cult. Her acting is extrodinary. The scene of her emotional breakdown @ the family party is a perfect scene. At the end the scene slowly fades away. Like the character. Perfectly acted, directed and shot.
She will be nominated for an oscar.
John Hawkes as the cult leader- Patrick gives a complex, creepy portrayal with hints of charles manson, david koresh and jim jones.

The film has been an audience favorite at festivals, and won several prizes, including Best Director at this year’sSundance Film Festival and the Cannes Prix de la Jeunesse
see "her" before she fades away............
