Pointless But Mesmerizing,
By The Comtesse DeSpair (http://asylumeclectica.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harms Way: Lust & Madness, Murder & Mayhem : A Book of Photographs (Hardcover)
This classic of morbidity is out-of-print so it's hard to track down, but Amazon does have a few used copies of it. It's a collection of bizarre vintage photographs compiled by a bizarre modern photographer, the legendary Joel-Peter Witkin. If I have a complaint about this book it's that it's all over the place, subject-wise. I have a hard time grasping what the point of it is, exactly. But it's still an excellent collection of vintage crime scene, medical, freakshow, and erotica images, complete with fascinating descriptions of the history behind the images. Some of the crime scene photographs are better presented in Evidence by Luc Sante, but I can forgive that flaw. After all, there are many images here that aren't found anywhere else. Overall, I'd recommend this to enthusiasts of the unusual.

similar, yet different from the others...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Harms Way: Lust & Madness, Murder & Mayhem : A Book of Photographs (Hardcover)
This is a compendium of images Witkin has put together that are either photo-journalistic, done by crime photographers, or pure documentation of people with deformities, maladies or other differences that set them apart from the rest of the world.
