A moment that changed me: I climbed a tower aged nine, alone – and discovered how I wanted to live

Up there by myself, I decided life might be best on my own. That thought has shaped my travel and relationships ever since I grew up in Kenya and was nine when we went camping by the beach in Mombasa, with two other families. The constant games and laughter were new to me, as we were a quiet, rather insular family. I went bodyboarding, watched crabs emerge from holes in the sand, climbed all over rusty cannons in the old fort and bought colourful strips of kanga fabric in the market to make sarongs. One day, my father asked some fishers to take us to the reef in their canoes. It was a good mile offshore: I wanted to stay behind with Mum, but Dad fixed me with a look and said: “You’ve got no sense of adventure, have you?” Then I knew I had to go, clambering shakily into the wobbly wooden construction, clinging on to the sides for dear life.

Boogie Nights review – Paul Thomas Anderson’s porn epic is still gaudy, seedy fun

The writer-director’s second movie lacks some of the craft shown in his later work, but remains a stylish and energetic descent into the cocaine-fulled world of the 70s adult film industry Masculinity was never more fragile than in Paul Thomas Anderson’s picaresque porn comedy from 1997, inspired by the life and times of 70s/80s LA adult movie star John Holmes. It’s a film that delivers the era’s jukebox slams on the soundtrack, though oddly not the Heatwave classic that provides the title. But Boogie Nights gives the male-gaze world of porn a taste of its own phallocentric medicine. How does it feel for a guy to be known and valued for just one thing, and then mocked and even hated when that one thing shrivels? What happens, in fact, is that our detumescent hero symbolically turns to the more reliably priapic world of guns and crime, although not without first embarrassingly trying to m

Don’t lose sight of the big picture in art galleries | Letters

Dr Penelope Jackson , Sue Lewis and Fiona Willan respond to an article and letters on art overload I read with interest your article ( The hill I will die on: Let me tell you the one big problem with art galleries. There’s too much art, 30 May ) and the follow-up letters ( 5 June ) full of advice from readers. Everyone will have an opinion on how to visit an art gallery. Clearly, trying not to view everything on show is key here. But what people have failed to grasp is that if galleries don’t show a vast amount of their collection, they are criticised. For example, the National Gallery in London hangs about 40% of its collection, which is more than others such as Tate Britain, which has a tiny fraction on show at any given time. And the National Portrait Gallery would struggle to hang its entire collection . Galleries and museums are caught between a rock and hard place. They try to show

When it last changed hands, in 2020, 2-8A Rutland Gate was Britain’s most expensive house, selling for £210m . The word “house” hardly does it justice; palace is probably more accurate.

LA fans, Mark E Smith’s sisters and Frank Skinner doing the quiz: inside the totally wired festival on the Fall

The irreplaceable Smith died in 2018 at the age of 60, immediately bringing to an end the group that he fronted for his entire adult life. The legend of the Fall lives on, though.

Pollinators in peril: scientists reveal the hidden human health costs of the world’s disappearing bees

Crops and flowers rely on them for survival, but wild bees are declining – and crucial nutrients will go missing from our diets as a result There are few ways in and out of Nepal’s Jumla district. The Karnali highway, considered one of the world’s most dangerous roads, provides the only land link, splicing through the Himalayas to connect Jumla’s terraced valleys to the rest of the country. As such, the 120,000 people that live there are almost entirely self-sufficient, with most of them eating and selling what they grow. It’s a tenuous existence, plagued by food insecurity and malnutrition. In recent years, local beekeepers have bemoaned languishing hives and dwindling honey production, observing that roughly half of their bees seem to have vanished over the past decade. These concerns, however, ignore an even more insidious impact. Continue reading...

I also shot her with Jefferson Hack and many of her other boyfriends, but it was only on official occasions, Topshop launches and things like that. There was a period when whatever she did, 200 photographers would turn up. For her 33rd birthday, I was asked to cover her party at the Dorchester hotel. Then I got a call saying she was at the Donmar Warehouse theatre watching a matinee of a play with Rhys Ifans in it. “Could I go over there and get a picture of her leaving before arriving at the birthday party?” When I got there, there must have been 200-250 people outside.

We Are Crowdsourcing the Panopticon

A man raises his phone as police move into a crowd. The video is shaky, loud, immediate. Within minutes, it is online. Within hours, it is everywhere. This is how accountability works now. Something happens, someone records it, and that footage can show what really happened, sometimes contradicting official accounts. It can empower citizens and create consequences for officials. But the footage’s life cycle does not end there. In recent months, civil liberties groups have warned that adding facial recognition to consumer smart glasses could turn everyday recording into something more troubling: real-time facial identification . It reflects a broader shift already underway, where images and videos captured for one purpose can later be searched , matched, and used for another.

‘It’s not about heroes and villains’: the triumphant return of long-lost indie I Shot Andy Warhol

Director Mary Harron on her audacious ‘anti-biopic’ of Scum Manifesto author Valerie Solanas, who shot Warhol in 1968 On 3 June 1968, Valerie Solanas, the sole member of Scum (the Society for Cutting Up Men), entered Andy Warhol ’s Factory, pulled out a .32-caliber pistol and fired three shots. The first struck Mario Amaya, an art critic, in the hip, the second lodged in a wall and the third pierced Warhol’s chest. Two days later, Robert Kennedy was assassinated, stealing airtime from the attempted murder of America’s most famous Pop artist. After the shooting, Solanas, as Warhol might have put it, got her “15minutes of fame”. When police asked Solanas why she shot Warhol, she replied she “had a lot of very involved reasons”. That phrase recurs throughout Mary Harron’s 1996 directorial debut, I Shot Andy Warhol, which takes its title from another line in Solanas’s police confession and w

Including paintings, photographs and video works, it is arranged inside a Georgian terrace house so decayed that you can see through perforations in the building’s fabric. Stoop to peer between crumbling bricks and you’ll see a reproduction of a mural of a cow’s head that Wojnarowicz painted in the New York piers. On the top floor, Wojnarowicz’s deathbed photographs of his former lover Peter Hujar occupy one elegiac wall. Look up.
