This guy has some pretty surreal art photography, each piece with its own meaning laden annotation...
Some of these are quite intriguing... See for yourself:
Discarded (Trees on the Left 2002)
I spoke to the tree on the left who told me to speak to the tree on the right. The tree on the right told me I should not be speaking to any tree from the left. Why not? "Look in those bushes!" replied the tree on the right, that's what happens when you speak to the trees from the left.

If you are inside dive under the nearest table or other piece of sturdy furniture. Try to get in a shadow.

wow, really interesting pieces here. sometimes I feel like art and poetry go hand in hand. You've got to constantly look for the deeper meaning. And most often than not it means different things to different people.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found them interesting too!
ReplyDeleteI'll assume you mean graphic/plastic art and written/read poetry.
In which case I'd readily agree, they are indeed easily bound together.
If not then I'd argue that writing, and more specifically poetry, is an art form in its own right.
The dadaists had their own opinion about digging for meaning... sometimes the surface is all there is, and that's the point sometimes not. It's fun finding out which, isn't it?
Yes, certainly, perspective changes with each point of view. : j
Thanks for stopping by.
That face is so cool - it took me a minute to see it. Very rad! (Yes, I still use the word rad) ;)
ReplyDeleteHello Tracy, nice to see you.
ReplyDeleteHa when I used to live in Southern California (Huntington Beach) things were not only rad but tubular too. I think rad has better dealt with the passing of time than tubular. : j
Glad something grabbed you. That's why I put stuff up here.
Wow! These are awesome. I have to say the second one is my favorite. The creep factor in 1 and 3 are palpable. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that guy has some serious talent. : j
ReplyDeleteI think I like the second best too, though the third is a close second. Echoes from the cold war.
Thanks for stopping by Lydia.
I like the first two! I wouldn't frame them in my living room but I like the thoughts they evoke. Art like this can inspire an entire novel...hmmm
ReplyDeleteHey there T. Anne. I agree, not something I would want to live with on my walls everyday... But interesting none the less.
ReplyDeleteArt inspires art the way the an Ouroboros never goes hungry. ; j
I agree: dark but fascinating, especially the last photo...almost like a Dali.
ReplyDeleteHello, and welcome Mohamed.
ReplyDeleteHmm... Dali? I suppose, I would have said more like a tiny part of a Hieronymous Bosch painting. But now that you mention, I suppose I see why you'd say dali.
Have you seen Dali's interview that i posted earlier on this blog?
The cracked doll head over the hand is creepy. When I was a child, I dug up a spot in my lawn and found a bendable Gumby doll. I wondered when it had been buried. The house was built in 1950.
ReplyDeleteI had to google Gumby. I actually only knew of him from a late 80s SNES video game.
ReplyDeleteHeheh, what if you found the real gumby. Gumby tripped into our universe from another dimension and appeared in the yard of a house, and was discovered by someone who was inspired to make a tv show from it. But the creator wanted all the credit to him/herself so she she buried the live gumby.
Now Gumbies, as we all know, don't deteriorate over time even after their life energy has departed, so what you found may have looked just like a bendable gumby toy, but was in fact the physical remains of the original gumby. : j
