Fishy
For my final creative project for Russian173 - Beyond the Looking Glass: Nonsense and Absurd in Russian and European Literature and Visual Arts, I chose to take a surreal series of candid photographs inspired by some of my favorite existential literary and visual works we #39;ve seen this semester, including Nikolai Gogol #39;s "The Nose", "Monty Python #39;s Flying Circus", and Luis Bunuel #39;s "The Phantom of Liberty". I have never tried to make any kind of photographic art project before, let alone an absurd one, and I really enjoyed the experience. Artists like Monty Python make it seem relatively easy to come up with ridiculous material, but I didn #39;t realize how difficult it is to create even remotely original absurd art. (Not to mention that it takes guts to actually act out a lot of it, as it can be extremely embarrassing...) The main idea of the story is that one day I wake up with a squid for a head, and I am the only one who doesn #39;t immediately realize what is going on, so I attempt to go about my day as usual. All of the photography was courtesy of my friend, Erin Conway.From:jijosimovichViews:0 0ratingsTime:07:21More inPeople Blogs
