Robert Frank
Suitcase of Tulips, 1950
Gelatin silver print (black & white)

Photograph of an old open suitcase on the floor against two square wooden & mesh grills. Lots of different cut stems of tulips are inside the suitcase, lined up & leaning against the open lid. Something wrapped in a hessian bundle also inside.

He sang on the original ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ album and acted in ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’. He turns 80 in a few days.

“But most days,
I wander around feeling invisible.
Like I'm a speck of dust
floating in the air
that can only be seen
when a shaft of light hits it.”

An expensive video to make at the time.
Great build up to the catchy chorus.

It's hardly mentioned that they lost their deposit, but this could be the defining moment when they entered an irrevocable and terminal decline.

The Conservatives have between now and the general election to avoid annihilation.
They need to decide on policies, as name-calling other MPs and their parties won't be enough.
