Dubai is quite possibly the craziest place someone could be right now. A city halted in the middle of Final Fantasy style urbanization by economic collapse. A constitutional monarchy with the (unfinished) world’s tallest building and no businesses to fill it. 2007 Nature Photographer of the Year Josef Holehner captures the city in all its dystopian beauty. (the rest of his work is pretty universally excellent too).

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
