This striking but rather unusual image is by Berlin based photographer Pitt Prickel and features Madame Curie. He’s entitled it “Prayer: In My Mind’s Eye” and I came across it via his original tweet.
I like it but find it oddly unsettling. I can browse past beaten torsos, genitals full of needles and guys being pooped on without a raised eyebrow. Yet somehow a man with an eyeball head mask praying to a domme in a decaying urban space gives me pause. I think its the Lynchian juxtaposition of the familiar, the eerie and the surreal that make it work.
