Exceedingly clever, well thought out and presented..Must be even more spectacular live .. I don`t do `life` and `death` deep thinking `meaning of life` discussions about pictures and images .. it`s enuff living life .. let alone making sense of it .. let alone trying to sum up an image.

Ah yes, the circle is now complete. As a sixties folk singer named Bob Dylan once said, ?he who is not busy being born is busy dying.?
From the joyful loose haphazard layout of being born (living) to the stark dark grid of dying (dead), everything now is in order. No belief system believes in the escape from the death of the physical self. Death is equally true to all beliefs, what happens after death is the debate. No intellectual masturbation will change the ulimate outcome for all of us.
Brilliant work, James.

hmm, these 2, as singles, just passed by; love the oposition between the disordered life, and multiplicity of "angles" and different moments, in the same mood // and the ordered single image, as if you could try to see it from as many angles as you can, but only will see the same image, everytime, in the same angle, frozen ;; in the "order" of "still things"
(thanks for your nice comment)

it is a very interesting piece - not quite what it seems at first - would have really liked to have seen this in it's full glory - would have to disgree with Mary's first comment but i found her last few sentences hit the mark - wherever it leads to - but comments aside this has a flavour i enjoy - hope to see more :)

perhaps you are right -
no perhaps about it
you are right
why do I balk?
I would like to make the facile response and say that I expect more from you but that isn't fair without visiting this on display and heavens only knows you put tons of time into your work...
and you - you make a point - "a mainstay of the arts throughout the entire history of christianity."
does that make it right?
does that make it acceptable?
or does that just explain my stubborness --
pagans are sometimes closer to the truth than "christians"
layers of deceit
- see - I am coming around to this...

mary, mary, mary. "concept without depth"?
it's facile to dismiss "head" as a simple opposition of life and death. the piece is a carefully laid trap. for the living side, i chose my model carefully to play the role of a particular kind of life: blithe, always in the moment. exactly the mood that most denies death, and a mood that's in high vogue right now. that side is the bait, celebrating that mood. the trap springs when you buy into the wall of fun, then walk around to see the other side.
odd you'd find the pagan furies acceptable but balk at the memento mori, a mainstay of the arts throughout the entire history of christianity.

I am sorry but this feels like a concept without depth...death is not a surprise so why do you treat it as one - death and life go hand in hand and are not flipsides - create death out of life as a composite (if it could be done well) that would be startling or create life out of death
but opposite sides of the coin - it is like walking around to the dark side of the moon after being told what is there...nothing...
the furies on the otherhand - they are something I understand...

see my comments on the live side...an exciting concept you have achieved here. Love the clips..almost like a set of X-ray images, i can feel the chill of the X-ray room, and smell the hospital smell..what a contrast to the live side..regards: kat
