TSUNAMI Japan 2011

Here is some really striking hand-held real time footage of the tsunami that struck Japan a couple years back. This video hadn't been seen by western eyes until recently having been published by Leakedchannel, though I found it here first.

It is about twenty five minutes and I recommend patiently watching all of it. At the beginning it looks like any other stormy day. By the end it looks like THE END.

Incidentally, the power plants that went down during this disaster have apparently been continuously spilling radiated water into the Pacific ever since.

Not so many posts ago I was talking about just this kind of thing, i.e. vague figures in painting and more contemporary artists carrying a Bacon-esque lineage. Like Carbonne, this person also seems to be of the French tongue.

These images, however, are particularly harrowing and even remind me a little of Alvin Schwartz's terrifying drawings for the Scary Stories book series.

I love how some of the images above have almost no physiological reason for registering as a face/figure at all. And yet...
