Distilling Apocalypse into Art
Observations on the Post-communist Industrial Photographs of Bruce Haley
[Excerpt]
"…So you can imagine, as I stood there on that overpass in early February 2002 with photographer Bruce Haley Hieronymus Bosch’s ‘Hell’ filled my mind. The only element missing from the scene was one of the condemned getting down on all fours and cramming a six-foot doomsday trumpet into his rectum. Sensory overload is one way to describe it. Feeling like a witness to the apocalypse is another. Either way, I was hardly comforted when Haley squinted imperceptibly at the grim horizon and let fall a dead-on parody of Colonel William Kilgore: ‘I love the smell of crude oil in the morning. It smells like photographs.’"
