    Tel Aviv

    Protesters carry a banner as they attend a mass ‘independence party’ in a demonstration against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his nationalist coalition government’s judicial overhaul. The fight over the judicial changes ‘transcends issues of left and right, and comes down to public distrust in government’, said one of the architects of the plans, Simcha Rothman.

  • Shoot ’em up! California’s retro games arcades – in pictures

    [ad_1]

    Retrovolt Arcade in Calimesa. Through Bohbot’s lens, arcades open to the viewer like a tightly woven shortfilm, noire-esque even. There is a feeling of criminality within the photos, as if you’ve found your way into a speakeasy, where acts are taking place – hidden, fringe, and celebrated by those lucky few able to produce the password for the doorman. And in themidst of this are the machines themselves: grouped together in collections by those obsessed with them, tantalizing to touch, to play

  • You’ll grow out of them: trainers transformed into plants – in pictures

    [ad_1]

    Though artist Christophe Guinet was born in Paris and loves the urban environment, he’s always felt in touch with nature. “I’ve been passionate about plants since adolescence. I fell in love with orchids at age 15 and learned to cultivate them. They require patience but they are worth it.” Guinet went on to work in marketing until a trip to India eight years ago to escape the corporate grind. There he conceived his art persona, Monsieur Plant (“Well, I am a mister who likes plants”), and started combining human-made consumer goods with plants to create fantastical sculptures. One recurring motif is the trainer, which is “a symbol of our times”, he says. “The eloquence of the plants combats the excesses of consumerism. I think nature will always triumph over man.” See more at monsieurplant.com

    A wild Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) is spotted in a weak and exhausted semi-conscious state in the bushes of parthenium plants at Tehatta, West Bengal, India. The Asian palm civet, a nocturnal carnivore species also known as the common palm civet, toddy cat, and musang, is found in south and south-east Asia, it produces a buttery, honey-like secretion that is scraped off its perineal glands. This civet is threatened by poaching and illegal wildlife trade; buyers use it for the increased production of the world’s most expensive coffee, kopi luwak (civet coffee)
