This exhibition could NEVER be shown here, and paradoxically, these are images based on images from nigerian films... i mean in the way that rome denounces madonnas use of the crucifixion imagery/christ, you would expect some protest, but my art lovin' establishment would be burned down and i'd be branded the antichrist or at least demon posessed if i dared hang these wonderful pictures. ( i dont think the art is so hot, what i loove is the sets and the staging of the pictures- its fantastic). i wish this post had a more provocative title to tempt (c'mon, i know there's a demon within you to be able to do this)people to actually click on the link and look at the pictures)Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-78993157680711058982009-01-30T05:26:00.000+01:002009-01-30T05:26:00.000+01:00I recognise that hand!I recognise that hand!Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-29341361698701969392009-01-29T09:50:00.000+01:002009-01-29T09:50:00.000+01:00Totally disgusting.
