The Peckham chapter of the Taliban and a horde of Yorkshire lesbians are going to be fighting it out here for the next few days so , to remind you of how good life was before Reagan, is Radio Tirana’s old call sign. When I first found its excellent signal on the short wave in…
Aquesta foto d’en Marc, fet per un tub de cartró, és una imitació de Le faux miroir (1935) d’en Magritte, que possiblement estava pensant en la Porte fenêtre a Collioure (1914) d’en Matisse.
