MORE SMUT ON THE INTERNET

With the Internet full of smut, we thought we should get smutty too.

Here is 'SMUT EYE GROCERY'... we stumbled across the abandoned store, where else but on Flickr.

The Smut Eye Grocery store, which for many years was the trade center of the community. For most of its existence, the store was operated by the local W. B. Phillips family - W. B. "Will" first, then by his son, Ulric and wife, Cora, and later by another son, "Mose." W. B. Phillips was the son of Moses Brinson and Rachel Cope Phillips, and the grandson of Benjamin Phillips. In the early 1900's Clara, wife of W. B. Phillips, had a millinery shop in the front northeast side of the store. The present day Smuteye Grocery, though not in operation, is owned by a granddaughter of W. B. and Clara Phillips.

I took some liberties with this photo, no, not the door, it's real. I think by this store's very nature it was asking for it. Pat Henderson

JULIETA SANS [WE CAN'T GET ENOUGH]

Mimi Cracra, Agnés Rosenthal

Ripening Peach, Fernanda Laguna

Where the Wild Things Are, Maurice Sendak

Intimacy, Raymond Carver

“Well Read” is a series of staged portraits of fictional characters, be it from a novel, a poem or a children’s story.

The process begins when Julieta invites each model to choose a book and a character that is significant to them. After reading the book (both the model and Julieta), agree on a costume, location, props and feel for the photograph, resulting in a collaborative performance: each model brings their personal story and Julieta interprets her own, multiplying the possibilities of reading beyond the fiction evoked by the photograph.

PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT

Julieta Sans explores the performative potential and very peculiar gestures that people adopt (or not) when they are told that they have complete freedom to pose in any way they want without facing the camera and the photographer.

Click here to see the full series of images.

Julieta is now working on the second part of the project where she will be photographing men and try to find out if one gender is more expressive or self conscious than the other.
