| About |
The roof of such religious architectural works tends to be completely overloaded with all kinds of artistic works, which reminded me somehow of the typical attitude "more is better". So I had to try to get these towers and dead matter manifestations of superstition as similar as possible to... dead matter - the quintessence of each and every religion. In absolute respect in front of the associated artistic work, the reasons for it seem to stand against any human attitude. And thus the image, of course. I guess my composition is at least questionable but perhaps the bones are visible?

While I look at this composition Nick, a Winogrand quote comes to my mind "Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame when you put four edges around some facts...” and here you have created a carrier-edge border, giving us hints that apart for the great deal of details that we get to see, there is a suggestion that this 'world of details' extends beyond the frame.
It is like, despite the facts that we see exposed to us, whenever passing by a cathedral, there much attempt to withholding fact of religious quintessence by having people stare at the concrete architectural grandiosity rather then the essence of it-- to keep the peoples' mind away from any harm to the big book and its morals.
very good presentation,
cheers,
v.

Thanks a lot for putting down to words my own intention, Visar! It's exactly what my mind was seeing. That kind of being fooled by some grandious design by the design itself! Not the content! The design!
It should be "I think, therefore I am". But soon it turned to some kind of: I look "nice", therefore I am. And since the majority has also that fear of "I don't look nice, thereore I am not!", it is clear that that sticking on the "nice" surface would generate the best possible support for the fooling that they bambard us with each and every day.
So, let's let it look not as "nice", ey? ;-) Oooh, then the religious mediocracy seems to be not amused at all!!! ;-)
Cheers!
Nick
