cursed images: let's get together and pin down the aesthetic!

i don’t see the problem here

At this point, I'm happy to see something like that and not see it actually turning out to be cake.

Horseradish frosting?

Mashed potato apparently

it is really hard to tell what it real and what isn't real there <3

What's wrong with this and why does it make me so uncomfortable

-Darker lines outlining the inner eyes make him seem angry
-Extra skin fold above his right eye
-Look at the small amount of his body you can see and try to extrapolate - he's all hunched up. How is he posed and what is he... doing?
-It must be said that the mouth is huge and not necessarily smiling
-Tight cropping makes it seem like Bugs is right up in your face, possibly yelling at you or contacting your body inappropriately

Incredible work OL, just incredible.

worthy of a medal

this thread is just tops

I am starting to suspect Old Lunch of having an elaborate studio and a team of prop crews and extras to create those. Meantime the rest of us are like

thanks old lunch for pulling us through these trying times

some absolutely breathtaking high points of cursed therein.

hard to choose favorites when the consistency is so high.

do i favor the bone-deep cringe that rusted bathtub shots always elicit in me, or the powerful and intriguing aftertaste of the cucumbers in the movie theater

and what of the mannequins in the meat fridge next to the child holding flowers, a super group of cursed elements together that must have been staged in some way and yet is no less powerful because of it?

re "staged"

people in a CI picture where you absolutely can't tell (bcz artful? bcz we are just intruders in their realm?) if this is a performance or verité

(the kid's performing but what about the woman pushing the trolley…)

― mark s, Thursday, 9 March 2017 23:21 (five years ago) bookmarkflaglink

naturally the picture attached to this observation has since vanished: it was of a woman pushing an ordinary shopping trolley with a child lying on its bottom shelf (if that's what you call it), his head and legs sticking out deliberately stiffly

the one with the sofa in the bathroom and the flowers in the urinal has stuck with me

amazing thread here, worth a few embeds

I just learned about that guy somewhere. He's in Red Hook and going viral.

Hmmm. Is it cheating to use an algorithm? Do we need to ask Old Lunch to pee in a cup to ensure he's not using suspect methods to gather the horrors above?

what if old lunch is "creating the news" by making these cursed things happen

like "get in there and toss some lettuce over the glass panel to the worker"

"go fill your garage with bubbles and then search through it with a tiki torch"

I don't care if OL staging these or not, you try dragging a couch and flowers into a public urinal.

lord knows i've tried, the government red tape preventing a normal good time from happening is just unbelievable

the painting. only one painting.

subtly cursed isn't any less cursed

needs more lamps

my favorites are definitely the non-euclidean geometry ones where you have no ides what you are looking at or what direction is up. Unsettling, to me at least.

yeah that's a good one

like the image is cursed but you are even more cursed for trying to decipher it

sorry for political but 'cursed' was the first thing that came to mind

I thought Obama was Humphrey Bogart for a second there. Can I add Margaret Thatcher to the 'which American obsession is the worst?' thread?
