There has been a run of overtly violet and faux-murder themed art lately, and the work of New-York based photographer Alison Brady certainly fits the bill.

Her female subjects are positioned in contexts that suggest impending violence or that some form of violence has just occurred against them.

The images of women with pillowcases tied around their heads execution-style, legs dangling lifelessly from the unseen, women tangled, strangled and bound, are all disturbingly eerie and unsettling.

Like Hitchcock, Brady understands that the greatest fear lies in the unseen. That the human imagination, given a hint, will conjure storylines more far disturbing than any picture can capture. (shapeandcolour.wordpress)

Yuck, I don't like this one bit. The scariest part is how much photography we've seen like this, and how much art in general is themed on violent death. Reflection of our overall societal vibe?
