Black and white and relevant – Battle of Algiers

Something about Matt Suib and Nadia Hironaka’s “Whiteout” at Locks Gallery tripped my memory of another desert/militarist/high contrast black and white moving picture, The Battle of Algiers. (Note: Whiteout really doesn’t bear strong resemblance to the 1966 movie but nevertheless the sand, the b&w…I guess I’m suggestible.  See a few images of Whiteout at flickr, and more on the Locks show in Weekly Update next Wednesday).
