Kissed (1996) : Directed by Lynne Stopewich
Over the years, a child's romantic ideals about death blossom into necrophilia, the study of embalming and the most profound relationship of her life.

If a group of Zombies met a group of Necrophiliacs ...who would do the chasing??
i can't find any contact methods, so i'm posting here: keep this blog up. i just found you and i'm slowing working backwards through all your posts, more and more impressed not just with the quality of obscure artists, but the volume of each of their work and annotated references encouraging hours of rabbit-hole tra-la-la-offs on new learning adventures. there are some good art blogs out there, but this has to be top-tier. really good stuff. hope you know it's appreciated.
ReplyDeleteFascinating collection of images illustrating the connections between love, death and sex. They have inspired me to write a blog on Death and the Maiden.
