  • / as sidney said — i´m of the same thought.
    the word ´self´screams out .. composure.. technique.. all good..

    lots of comments, perhaps looking for the point since it is a less easy piece to read than many..

  • respect for the reply andy.. nicely put and honest

  • A QUESTION.

    If someone makes a picture, the (stated)INTENT of which is along the lines of ” a powerful and telling conceptual and visual metaphor (with both comic and tragic-sinister overtones) for our gas-guzzling hyper-individualized American society of consumers wedded to their cars and addicted to the gas pump as the major means of manifesting their all-important precious and unique ’selves’ which turn out to be mechanical clones of the other ’selves’ around them.”
    and then lets say viewer A views it without knowing this and has this reaction to it
    “something else. Something distant, sealed-off from the chaos. Something still, peaceful, quiet, permanent, safe, and simple. Something different from, yet consistent with reality.”

    The Question is [actually its a whole bunch of them, ho hum.]
    WHICH ONE IS RIGHT?
    ARE EITHER OF THEM RIGHT?
    OR BOTH RIGHT?
    OR WRONG?
    AND DOES IT MATTER?

    just a thought to stave off Hotel room boredom waiting for the rain to stop. No bigee.

    Peace
    John
