REVIEWER’S LOG:
“Another year, another catalog — same ghost behind the lens. 1991, Benelux again. This one feels stranger, though. The poses cut harder, the shadows run deeper. Some spreads look like the ad team staged a firefight without knowing who was supposed to win.
I keep flipping back to one page: Cobra figures staring dead into the camera, eyes painted plastic, but the angle feels accusatory. Kids saw play. I see a file left behind by somebody who almost understood what they were documenting.”
