seen at WBEZ: Vivian Maier's really moving pictures

Vivian Maier, the Chicago nanny who led a secret life as a street photographer, continues to be one of the city's more arresting stories. After gaining notice in 2009 two years after her death, the thousands of photographs Maier took have been the subject of books, exhibitions and a documentary, Finding Vivian Maier, shown this week at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Her Chicago area photographs, taken from the 1950s through the 1970s have been of particular interest. But the 8mm movies she shot are also coming to light. The above film made of footage Maier shot in downtown Chicago in 1971 or so was posted a few days ago on the arts and culture site Nowness.

oda a un culo cualquiera 
singular y sugerente 
de carne tibia íntima 
como sinalefa falsa 
esta saliva líquida 
de nalga sobre sólido glúteo 
abriéndose intacto al mar 
rota hendidura leve 
diptongo abierto a medias 
burbujeando muy dentro ya 
el salitre corrosivo del 
etéreo hiato púa aérea 
en secreción consonante 
de vocales huecas y caobas 

oda entonces digo a la raja 
odalisca sifilítica a las nalgas 
pavimentadas con finos polvos 
de gruesa arenisca eyaculada 
a chorritos entre dientes apretados 
a mordidas y escupitajos en fruición 
de frenesí poeta casi proxeneta 
de las letras en sus canales 
métricos por aféresis albañales 
de peligrosa púrpura proximidad 
al desagüe del mar donde flota 
este culo albar en oda 
rota prótesis cualquiera 
de un náufrago cuerpo muerto

Russian police seize Putin, Medvedev painting: Picture the scene: a quiet moment between Russian president Vladimir Putin and his prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev. A momentary intersection between two lives made busy–so busy–by the hard work of government. Medvedev has just put his bra back on. He is disheveled. Putin grabs a comb and runs it lazily through his deputy's hair. Medvedev's eyes firmly engage the viewer, but Putin looks oddly to one side. What is he looking at? Perhaps his eye falls upon the Romanov Tercentenary Egg on his desk, adorned with portrait miniatures of the dynasty. They seem to gaze back at him, no longer lost within Fabergé's gilded relic. Putin once saw their deaths in his mind's eye, over and over, that invigorating minute in Yekaterinburg. Now he hears only their voices, the whispers that wake him. Though both men creep toward the threshold of the golden afternoon, the evening is yet young.

del cuerpo la caligrafía de estos años densos que cansan tanto 

las experiencias que catan con gusto cada poro sudado 

el momento intenso la agonía el arrebato el disloque extremo del cuerpo monarca en su elasticidad reina su reflejo en otros con la sabiduría 
de saberse muerto en su espejo cóncavo de dispersas alas rotas
