Modern Art used to Torture Fascists

4/12/2018

Rafael González brought to your EC Editor's attention this odd historical item.
In the Spanish Civil War the republican forces fighting General Franco's Nationalist army used specially-designed Modern-art-inspired prison cells to torture Fascist prisoners.

An article at OPEN CULTURE tells us that "evidence also indicates that,
elsewhere in Spain, Nationalist prisoners were forced to watch
Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel's film Un Chien Andalou,"
especially an endless loop of its "graphic sequence of an eyeball being cut open".

This is a new, possibly short-lived, and highly experimental page at Electronic Cottage.

one-shots
is a place for you to post one-time thoughts, statements, poems, drawings, paintings, audio and video art, pictures, rants, photos, collages, just whatever!

This is a place where you can post stuff that does not fit elsewhere, one-time expressions not connected to anything else, perhaps totally random.

You don't have to have a personal page to post here.

If you want to post something here
send an email to me haltapes@gmail.com
with the title one-shots and include your words, pictures, etc in the email.
