The lovemaking between Clark Gable and Norma Shearer was so passionate that rumors spread about a romance off the set. Irving Thalberg did not appreciate the talk about his wife but he had never seen her react to any of her leading men as she had to Gable. During production, Gable remarked to director Clarence Brown that Shearer wasn’t wearing any underwear during the shoot. ‘That’s a woman with limited sex.’ Brown said. ‘Apparently so.’ Gable sighed. ‘She kisses like a whore in heat.’
So a few days ago I got so drunk I blacked out then later fell on my face…I felt like putting this out there cause I’ve had to lie to everyone and tell them that I got hit in the face with a baseball. I chipped one of my teeth and my gums hurt so bad right now I can’t even concentrate…Wait so why the fuck is alcohol legal again and weed isn’t?
I’ve never had this issue from being too stoned.
Exactly.
These installations by artist Chris Engman are so surreal. At first the scenes seem perfectly normal, but after looking more closely it’s easy to tell that something is amiss. The artist is keen on playing with human perception and forcing his viewers to question what they see. The installation of his photographs into the scenes are a deliberate and elaborate process that takes days, and sometimes a crew, to set up.
Engman is extremely interested in human existence and the idea that one day each of us will vanish from the earth. In his artist statement, he said, “My work takes the human condition as its central theme and examines the most fundamental of issues: the inexplicable fact of our existence, the ungraspable experience of time, and the illusive and unknowable nature of reality.” By photographing a place and then turning that photograph into a physical object and placing it back into the original scene, Engman investigates how we as people experience the passage of time.
