...however, but also upon this conceptual turn: the photo is not really of the Emperor, but of his wax figure at Madame Tussaud's museum in London. Wax statues look almost laughably fake in person, but Sugimoto exploits the power (or perhaps the weakness) of the camera's single eye to flatten perspective and encourage illusion, thereby creating an image that looks more real, more human than the wax object he is photographing.

...subterranean thumps straight outta the Caribbean and dubplate guitars that jangle in from another century. But then the track stays in a holding pattern for the rest of its runtime. No changes, nothing. Beastie Boy Ad-Rock simply proves his overwhelming irrelevance by adding a piercing synth sample and eye-rolling “UNH!” and “WHAT!” shout-outs to the subtle krauted-out brilliance that was “Black Tambourine.”The weirdest part is that Beck had no dearth of remixes sitting around—he?...
