Postings from the Phillips Collection, Washington D.C.


RZL prefers the other side of the mirror.

RZL is unveiling you from his Hello Kitty denim burka designed by Portuguese fashion 
        designer Maria Gambina.

RZL is an F-to-M butterfly.

RZL, his back arched, his Bela Lugosi belly balancing an Oceanic wooden carving of a 
        Vanuatu male, his gaze zooming for Man Ray's lens.

RZL will remain in the Matsyasana fish pose until Vishnu has drained the flood from the world.

RZL over-ripened at the tender Menudo age of sixteen.

RZL, looking at a bowl of dead fruits, is as still as life.

RZL's thought of the moment shares a similar shape as Francis Bacon's bacteria.

RZL is squatting like a Bangwa Queen, priestess, diviner, earth mother, left limb lopped 
        off, right hand holding a calabash.

RZL's Hawaii defines "calabash," a tropical American tree, as people related not by 
        blood but by shared history.

RZL graduated from Wikipedia High School and is currently pursuing a Bachelor's 
        Degree at the Google Institute of Fine Arts.

RZL just learned that the Bangwa Queen was first acquired in 1898 by the ivory collector 
        and slave dealer Gustave Confrau, then was auctioned off from one owner to 
        another, including cosmetic industrialist Helene Rubinstein.  Immortalized by 
        Man Ray, she now squats at the Musee Dapper in Paris.

RZL's Philippines was freed from Spain in 1898 and, on the same year, along with 
        Guam, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii, was captured by United States. 

RZL is sold separately in three units.

        Aschenbach's hair dye drying on seashell-like ears.

        disembodied head.
