In the late 1990s, Bay Area roads were full of cars from the sixties and seventies: Maroon Mustangs, Gold Novas, Orange Karmann Ghias—spewing exhaust up and down El Camino Real in the peninsula suburbs where I lived and went to high school. Like a car would seem from the mid-nineties today, they were old but […]

https://vimeo.com/1133892556?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci In spring of 2025, a friend and I agreed to make and send each other one video every day for one hundred days. The only rules were: 1) Video should include face and/or voice. 2) First thought, best thought. 3) First take, best take. It was a nice way to keep in touch. The […]

These items are the detritus of some very good times that contained the kernels of some very bad ideas. I pursue pleasure until it winds me or wounds me, and on my back in the aftermath I try to translate the marks on my body like morse code, make my panicked panting a poem or […]

I wrote this poem in the summer of 2023. I am now in midst of dismantling and re-writing it, many times over. It’s the seed of my next book but won’t be included in it. I’m glad for it to live here, in its initial state. Excess Deaths A human-sized fly trap, like the sticky […]

In 1975, the UK held a referendum on whether it should remain a member of the European Economic Communities (EEC)—a sort of proto-EU. While continued membership was approved by voters at the time, the referendum can be seen as a precursor to Brexit. Shortly before the vote, John Berger released his television series Ways of […]

My mother bought these earrings when I was in high school. I imagine her decked out in an Indiana mall version of British mod, a paisley-printed sleeveless sheath skimming her knees, her blonde hair cropped short and puffy on top like Cilla Black’s, her pink lipstick a bit too cool for her skin tone. She was more of a sweatshirt and jeans type of woman, but whenever she left the house, even if it was just running to a store to pick up something, she put on makeup, as did I until I went to college.

What people forget about the ’90s is that Snapple ran through our veins. My friend Kane Tsay in the Luna shirt, Chris Colbourn from the band Buffalo Tom, and myself at Rasputin or Leopold’s Records (no longer) in Berkeley. We didn’t know him. We were just nerds and I think Buffalo Tom were either playing […]

The man on the right was my father, Frank. In this still, he’s singing in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Chorus during a European tour under the baton of a famous conductor. I was a few months old. It wasn’t until after he died in 2023 that this video was discovered on YouTube by a friend […]

Jacqueline de Jong’s potatoes (a tuberous reverie) Jacqueline de Jong defied easy categorization. Painter, sculptor, editor, and one-time member of the Situationist International, she was an uncompromising force. We first met in 2017 in The Hague. At the time, I was living in London and working as Associate Curator at the ICA, an institution Jacqueline […]

Doc 146: Great God Pan
Great God Pan was an underground culture magazine that published fourteen issues between 1989-2000 out of the Bay Area and, later, Los Angeles. Championing the esoteric and West Coast (or “Californiana”), editors Erik Bluhm and Mark Sundeen tirelessly explored southwestern locales like the Great Salt Desert and the Salton Sea; detailed figures like Jim Webb […]

I lived in a loft at 21 Howard Street in downtown New York for many years. I used the walls as my bulletin board, thumb tacking anything that inspired me: images from magazines, Polaroids, or drawings by well-known artists including a pencil rubbing of three pennies by Mel Bochner, a tiny drawing by Joel Shapiro, and a Richard Serra sketch torn from his notebook.

While working as a record store clerk at LA’s Licorice Pizza in the mid-80s, Tosh Berman was approached by Gary Calamar, the store manager at the time, about hosting a public access talk show. Before YouTube channels, TikTok, and Instagram reels, American cable television was mandated to provide airtime to the public according to the […]

Hanoi, VietnamJune 2023 One night, in early 2014, I was trying to decide what movie to watch. I needed something new. Well, that is, I wanted to watch an older film but one free from personal associations. My life was in the middle of a difficult transition, and I desperately wanted to watch something that […]

I visit my father’s place during European spring or summer. A few years ago, he moved from Munich to a town outside Berlin where he is building a house. When I’m there, I document the house and garden. The pictures I take from year to year always end up looking similar, but out of sync […]
