...camera. Surrealist not in the banal sense of resembling a landscape with melting watches, but in its representations- by definition disconnected, scattered and disturbing. The landscape of photographic images is to the modern eye what the flea market was to the sur realists 50 years ago - an endless, random repository, a disorderly world parallel to the real one, stuffed with the pathos of nostalgia and secret messages about social organization. Photography, in this sense, is rather like Borges' "Aleph": it contains every possibility and no resolutions, but everything in it is equally interesting. And so, in a funamental...

He visits paradise, with its eternally blooming gardens, and hell, where sinners suffer endless agony at the hands of demons. The 15th century illuminations that accompany the text of this holy adventure are masterworks of Middle Eastern art. Produced in Herât, capital of ancient Khurasan, the paintings flood the eye with blues, golds, reds and greens. The effect is similar to that...
America has been saturated in recent years by tales of the paranormal and claims of the pseudo scientists. The list seems endless: Uri Geller, the Bermuda Triangle, E.S.P., levitation, Jeane Dixon, Kirlian photography, the Loch Ness monster, psychic surgery, Immanuel Velikovsky, thinking ivy plants and now-again -flying saucers...
