In a recently-deleted thread (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1545497)), a poster requested that someone investigate Dust Magazine for its "dark imagery." The thread was deleted because the poster's claim that the magazine featured Marina Abramovic was unsourced.
Abramovic appeared on the cover of Issue #4 (Spring 2013): http://dustmagazine.com/onlineshop/index.php/product/dust-issue-4-out-out/

From the magazine's website (http://www.dustmagazine.com/ -- you have to click the splash screen to arrive at http://www.dustmagazine.com/index1.html)) About section (sorry for the all caps):
DUST IS A BIANNUAL MAGAZINE BORN IN 2010 BASED BETWEEN BERLIN AND LONDON AND DISTRIBUTED WORLDWIDE. THE INTENT OF THE PROJECT IS TO EXPLORE THE UNIVERSE OF YOUTH, IN THE CONTEXT OF A PRESENT TIME MARKED BY A CONTINUOUS STATE OF CRISIS. OUR INTEREST IS TO ENLIGHTEN THE GENUINE AND NON-CODIFIED ASPECTS OF YOUTH AND OF THE NEW EMERGING GENERATION BY DIRECTING OUR GAZE FAR FROM INSTITUTIONALIZED GEOGRAPHY AND TRENDS, AND ABOVE THE CURRENT STANDARDIZATION THAT TENDS TO CONFORM THE EXPERIENCE OF YOUTH IN REGULATED FORMS. IN OUR RESEARCH WE CROSS CONFLICTING TERRITORIES, WHERE STRUCTURES COLLAPSE AND THE WESTERN CODES OF APPEARANCES DISSOLVE INTO DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHOICES, DIFFERENT KINDS OF DYNAMICS. WE LIKE TO UNDERLINE A SILENT GEOGRAPHY, AT THE MARGIN OF MAINSTREAM PATHS, IN ORDER TO REDISCOVER A STRONGER ATTACHMENT TO LIFE, SOMEHOW MORE VITAL, GENUINE AND AWAKE; SOMETHING THAT IS HARD TO FIND IN THE ANESTHETIZED YOUTH PRESENTED BY THE DISORIENTED CIRCULATING CULTURE. THE TERRITORY IN WHICH WE DIG IS ‘THE CRISIS’ AS THE ELECTED PLACE WHERE TO REDESIGN FORMS, IDEAS, VALUES AND STRATEGIES FOR OUR GENERATION TO EMBRACE A DIFFERENT WAY TO CONCEIVE OF LIFE. WE OBSERVE THE COLLAPSE OF STABILITIES TAKING PLACE GLOBALLY AS AN IRREVERSIBLE SHIFT OF SCENARIO THAT’S PUSHING YOUTH TO AN URGENCY OF CHANGE, AN URGENCY TO FIND A NEW AND PROPER VISION. AS MANY DO, WE FEEL RENEWAL TO BE NECESSARY IN ALL FIELDS, BASED ON A MORE PERSONAL SENSIBILITY. IN LIGHT OF OUR CONCERNS AND INTERESTS, THE REALMS OF COMMUNICATION, VISUAL CULTURE, ART AND FASHION NEED TO BE RECONSIDERED FROM A NEW POINT OF VIEW. OUR MAGAZINE IS INTENT ON CREATING, WITHIN THE LIMITS OF ANY CULTURAL PRODUCT PRESENT IN THE MARKET, THIS NEW VISION. WE CONSIDER THE MAGAZINE A LABORATORY OF IDEAS AND CONCEPTS THROUGH WHICH WE SEARCH FOR A NEW ESTHETIC AND TO GIVE THE IMAGE NEW VALUE. OUR PERSONAL INTERESTS GO BEYOND THE IDEA OF COOLNESS, TRENDS, WAVES OR ANYTHING ESTABLISHED BY POP CULTURE. WE PREFER TO DIRECT OUR GAZE TO THE BASIC, GENUINE WAY THROUGH WHICH YOUTH EXPRESSES ITSELF, FROM WHERE EVERYTHING SHOULD BE RECONSIDERED.
Dust was founded by Luigi Vitali, who runs it with Luca Guarini. http://archive.is/6eclI
Most of the models appear to be strung-out teens or early 20-somethings, but some of the imagery suggests pedophilia :
http://archive.is/dYnQp (a naked man holding a naked baby; the man's hand covers the infant's genitals; maybe NSFW -- pixellated genitals)
http://archive.is/9NJND (a bare-bottomed man mounts what looks like a young boy on a street corner; maybe NSFW -- bare buttocks)
http://archive.is/7ESP3 (photo of a young shirtless boy with long blond hair)
http://archive.is/QvkjS (photo of a young couple making out on a beach blanket -- can't tell the girl's approximate age; she might be just petite)
And then there are photos like these:
http://archive.is/IsLiG (closeup photo of a sweaty man with his eyes rolling back)
http://archive.is/U7beD (photo of an emaciated headless torso with bluish makeup suggesting bruising)
http://archive.is/lVEsj (photo of a naked young man with his arm tied off, with a facial expression suggesting he's just shot up heroin)
http://archive.is/ZRvW1 (photo of a young man in underwear submissively approaching a seated older man wearing a suit -- someone comments "such a good boy")
http://archive.is/BY01B (photo of an older man wearing a suit caressing the shoulders of a young man)
http://archive.is/bLZWD (photo of a young man with what looks like the beginning of a black eye)
http://archive.is/irppG (another photo of a young man with a black eye)

Not so subtle promotion of pedophilia and bringing that into being socially acceptable. Bullshit crap. The elites are working through hipsters like this making pedophilia 'normal'. Makes me want to puke
