Weekly selfie

 

The art piece I chose to whisper to was this one, I forgot to take a picture of the name, but this piece just captivated my mind. It doesn’t look like a painting but more of a show which is why I admire it so much, it’s 3D effect is amazing 


“Consequently fear of the present leads to mystification of the past; the past is not for living in”

Page 11 chapter 1


I agree with this but I think it’s the fear of the future that lead’s mystification of the past. A lot of times generations just live life the way their parents did with no questions, my future is set if I do what they did but what happens when you start thinking about alternative ways your future can turn into and so you start thinking about if your ancestors thought of the same thing, and now the past isn’t as clear as you thought.


“Although every image embodies a way of seeing, our perception or appreciation of an image depends also upon our own way of seeing” 

page 10 chapter 1 


This is true, every image is a recreation of a previous event but it is our pov that gives the thrill of interpretation, yes the meaning behind the piece is there but how does the piece make you feel or what do you see with your own eyes.
