International Necronautical Society
The International Necronautical Society is a semi-fictional organization closely modeled on European avant-gardes of the early 20th century. It replays, not without parody, the politically-inflected structures of these avant-gardes, with their manifestoes, committees, splinter groups and purges. At the same time the INS makes use of these structures to generate artistic projects that explore the relations between death and representation. The representation of physical death, as in obituaries and memorials, is only a starting point for the INS’s exploration of the ways that all representations inhabit a zone of conceptual death. Death is viewed by the INS as “a cipher for the outer limit of description, for the point at which the code breaks down”.

Ed van der Elsken
Even though his cameras were ever-present, van der Elsken’s photos didn’t contain the least tinge of solipsism. It didn’t explore his personal identity - he was far more concerned with using his camera for documenting the social culture around him, especially the counterculture. His lenses captured the reckless, drug-taking bohemians in postwar Paris, the gruesome slaughter of hunted elephants in Africa, the demolition of Amsterdam’s looted and destroyed Jewish Quarter, segregation in South Africa under apartheid, jazz musicians onstage, and all forms of love - gender-bending, interracial and otherwise. He’s most famous for pictures shot in grainy, high-contrast black and white.
The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit
