1/14/2003: Scars exhibition

Undertoad · 01-14-2003, 11:11 AM

Nothing weird about this image. Except that it's part of an art exhibition in Chile.

The exhibition is called "Damages" and features artist Sebastian Utreras, who said:

"Through the observation of scars, it is possible to know the darkest and deepest hideaways of the human soul.

"Every time we look at a scar we tend to wonder how they got them. I am attracted to the idea of surrounding myself with those stories."

It's intriguing. I'm sure Ogg will require clarification, though I wouldn't put this in the same category as the words and sheep. It's less pretentious, because there is something weird about scars.

Is this all I have to do to get attention? Shit, I could have done this years ago...maybe I'll take pictures of bellybuttons instead.

With or without the lint?

elSicomoro · 01-14-2003, 01:26 PM

Oooh...good point. I could break it down by lint and lintless. I could also break it down by innie and outie.

I think breaking it down kind of ruins it though. You need to choose - lint or not. And then you need to just go with it.

elSicomoro · 01-14-2003, 07:06 PM

Now that I think about it, I don't think I can choose. It would just...be...wrong.

Just let it happen. Anything else would violate the artistic integrity of your work.

Hate to tell you sycamore, but taking pictures of belly buttons has been done. Haven't you seen Britney Spears and her ilk?

elSicomoro · 01-14-2003, 07:54 PM

But that's exploitation, commercialism...IT IS NOT ART!

I want to capture the natural essence of the navel...fat, skinny, white, black...all navels are welcome.

You can do this as a side-project when we do the living poetry experminent.

elSicomoro · 01-14-2003, 08:21 PM

Maybe after we do the poetry thing, I'll take photographs of all your navels...with permission, of course.

Not the first post I imagined, but nonetheless somehow on topic?

Fucking bastards! Now what am I supposed to do?

Hmmm...people with obvious forehead veins...

Griff · 01-15-2003, 06:11 AM

...prostetic foreheads?

C-section scars. You could get really creative and show the kid that was the cause of them in the same photo.
