In a poetic yet disturbing and seductive way, Japanese photographer Izima Kaoru creates scenes of sophisticated violence and enchanting horror. Landscapes with a Corpse is the title of his project, where he invited actresses and models to reveal their fantasies about a perfect death: above all he asked them which designer clothes they would like to wear when they died. The resulting photos, show the crime scene (or that of natural death), but do not allude to something fatal and irreversible, instead they possess a kind of elegant and highly aesthetic ceremony. Kaoru’s images have always had a film-like structure: long shots with bodies that seem to melt into the setting, alternate with others that show close-ups of the wide-open eyes of the victims. There is never a real story, only clues, suspicions, allusions: the unlocking of a tale whose mystery will never be revealed.
Today I tried to get away from the madness of the city Went to a farm to relax Ran across a loud mouth hip hop cow That called itself
"Legend Dairy"
I'll admit, it could milk a beat And it's words flowed like butter But it's catch phrases "Word to the Udders" And "Moo Over!!!" Came up way too often And The chips he was eating Were suspect, at best While praising his minister, Pastor Eyes He deep branded a tattoo Right before my eyes
Talking about things that "could be Found up In the great round up" His dancer circling around us
I figured I needed to U-Tube These dudes because Who'd believe me?
When his D.J., Udder Lee Closed my laptop and said "Take it easy There is only one brand of computer you can use That will get you through the gateway Ain't that right, 'Mac'?" He motioned to his yes cow knowing full well what he would say
So, I decided to just forget about the whole crazy incident And ask you How was your day?
