Costică Acsinte
B&W photo portrait of a young woman with short, flapper-like dark hair and wearing a dark, large collared blouse with a beaded necklace. She appears blind in her left eye, as it is completely clear. The photo itself has possibly been chemically damaged in spots around her face and along an edge.

Olivier de Sagazan
B&W photo portrait of the artist without clothes but covered in clay and mud with heaps of clay mushed and molded about their head and face, almost making a surreal face itself, with sticks and branches sticking out of their head. Their hands are up near their face, as if presenting themselves theatrically.

Unknown • From Wilfried Kaute’s book, ‘Murder in the City: New York, 1910–1920’ (Thomas Dunne Books, ‘17) ⸻ “Our skin and blood, the iron bars of confinement. But fear not. All flesh decays. Death turns all to ash. And thus, death frees every soul.” ⸻ The Fountain, ‘06
A stark B&W crime scene photograph, shot from high above, looking down into a cramped, bare room where an adult woman lies dead on a narrow iron bed. Her body is stretched diagonally across a striped bed sheet, head resting on a white pillow at the left side of the frame, face turned upward with an unforgettable and still expression. Her dark hair spills around her head, and her dress is soaked and disordered from blood. Her dress is open at the chest, exposing a stab wound at the heart.
On the bare floor beside the bed, near her outstretched hand, there is pooled blood and scattered debris. A small round table or stool sits near the wall above her, while scraps of paper or cloth lie on the floor and on the bed. The room itself feels poor, narrow, and exposed.

Elio Daniele
B&W of three theatre actors on stilts, completely covered in white make-up, top and pants. They are each in various spectral-like movements; ethereal. The background is dark, ornate wood and old, elaborately framed, hanging paintings. The shot itself is from the audience floor with a patron, seemingly excited, in the foreground.

Nobuyoshi Araki
I’ll do my best to take the time to alt-text this photo:
B&W of a person from behind, camera looking slightly downward. The photo itself is of a double page spread of the book that the actual photo was published, as the page seam is visible. 
The person is sitting on a floor, their arms tied behind their back at the upper arms and at their forearms.
They are wearing a dark slip and visible dark nails.
Stuck to their shoulders and back are the cuttings and clippings of their dark hair, which, on their head is only half-done.
Hair, scissors and clippers are scattered upon the floor.

A B&W photo of possibly the close-up corner of a motel room table with a lamp and a few assorted objects and, to me looks like a person's shadow. It may be double exposure, but definitely surreal.
