The Show Info on the Flickr site "ericutxo," hides the demi gods of Rosa Cobos, who otherwise delivers an interesting series of photographs that make use of manikins, the staged and plastic arts, theatrical masks, portraits, collections of objects, flowers, people and places, moving backwards through it. Some have a 1920s influence. Some are decorative. Some are openly syrupy. Some photos are digital. Some are truly fascinating. I discovered I was a sucker for many of them. But in no way are any of them strengthened by the attached poems and statements, though it alone represents a remarkable vernacular body of work. But as for today, there was no music on the site, though there may be more cool images. April 8, 2009
