Devil's Promenade

A collaborative project by Antone Dolezal & Lara Shipley

The Ozark backwoods are a place you feel. The dark nooks to hide, made in encroaching woods and the banks of rivers, the smell of wet life and decay, a steady insect hum, all create a backdrop for a people with a particular fascination for the mysteries of darkness and light. Here some of the oldest stories of humanity are told—wanderers’ lost souls and paths taken towards good or evil—but with a local twist in the tale of a strange orb of light.

Folkloric stories can provide insight into very real issues in a community. This region is marked by isolated poverty, a wariness of outsiders, and a struggle between heaven and hell that factors into everyday conversation. The Ozark Light is known as a floating orb found on a wooded road in a region where the Devil is said to reside. In lieu of a scientific explanation the appearance of the Light has come to represent for the community a desire for redemption and the fear of slipping into darkness. It is the sublime experience whose defiance of explanation provides a reprieve from ordinary life while the stories told to explain its origin are firmly rooted in the foundation of human existence.

Devil’s Promenade is in part a project about returning to the place we grew up. This work blends folklore and local history with present day photographs of Ozark people, the land, spiritual gatherings, and interpretive images based on the region's rich storytelling traditions. These photographs are combined with oral accounts, interpretive fiction, and archival photographs from the region’s past. Our aim is not to provide documentation or an explanation of the phenomenon, but to suggest a narrative that, in the spirit of the Light, is part fixed in this unique region and part afloat in a mysterious, otherworldly realm.

ALEX

MASAHISA FUKASE: SASUKE

One of the creators of a new style of photography in Japan, with Nobuyoshi Araki and Daido Moriyama, recently featured at a show at MoMa. Masahisa Fukase turned his lens to his new cat Sasuke, and later Momoe. Most of the photos are eye level with his cat; he said he would crawl around after her in an effort to become a cat. In some of the photographs, you can see little glimpses of him reflected in the cat’s eyes; he considers the cat photos his self-portraits. My favorites are the close-up shots of the cats yawning.

DEVIL’S PROMENADE

Deep in the Ozarks is a place called the Devil’s Promenade, where a mysterious floating orb has appeared for well over a hundred years. Lara Shipley and Antone Dolezal traveled back home to document the people that chase the orb and the mythology of the surrounding area. This book collects their original photos alongside collected ephemera from the surrounding towns, creating an unnerving portrait of this often-ignored region of the U.S.

THE CITY OF BELGIUM

This sprawling story follows three strangers through the night as they make their way to the Disco Haram. Jona is moving to Berlin; all of his friends ditch him, and on his last night out alone, he runs into a character from his past who he is trying to forget. Victoria escapes from her overbearing friends and family, who are trying to commit her. Rodolphe is reconsidering his lifestyle when he gets a drink full of a potent hallucinogenic drug poured on him. Another gorgeously rendered, menacing comic from Brecht Evens.

FLAVORS OF THE SUN

I started cooking a lot when I moved to New York as a way to save money. Whenever I needed a particular spice for a recipe, I would head to Sahadi’s on Atlantic Ave., an experience not at all dissimilar to the description in the introduction. They carry every spice imaginable and make, hands down, my favorite spicy hummus, which I miss greatly. Arranged by spice, this cookbook gives you ideas for spice blends you can make, and ways to use the spices in multiple dishes. Also included is the coveted spicy hummus recipe.

ALBERTO BRECCIA’S DRACULA

Five wordless stories of the last days of Dracula, wandering around a small nameless Argentinian town that exists under a brutal military dictator. Dracula has his fangs removed by a butcher dentist, and corrupt politicians have already drained all the life from the people living under their oppressive regime. Compared to his beautifully drawn horror and science fiction comics (Mort Cinder, The Eternaut), Breccia’s illustrations are unrecognizable; the characters are rendered in garish colors and drawn as twisted caricatures.

WALTER BENJAMIN AT THE DAIRY QUEEN

Larry McMurtry uses Walter Benjamin’s essay collection Illuminations to reflect on the idea of the storyteller. When the Dairy Queens started opening up in the small isolated towns all over Texas, they became the de facto town squares, where all of the residents would meet to share stories and gossip. His local Dairy Queen serves as McMurtry’s place to reflect on the history of his town, family, his body of work, and most of all, his love of reading. RIP the great Larry McMurtry.
