What's in yours?
I was going to call this image, "Art Imitates Life", but then after a bit of research, I discovered that there are two schools of thought on this matter. There are those who believe that art imitates life (mimesis) and those who believe that life imitates art (anti-mimesis). Sort of one of those which came first, the chicken or the egg scenarios.
Anyway, this image came about because I still had these characters from Melbourne popping up on my camera roll and I had to do something with them. So, I had the idea that if they kept popping up, I could change them into pop-ups and place them with Noah's collection of other pop-ups. I probably should have stopped there but, oh well. So, what do you think, do you barrack for mimesis or are you an anti-mimesis fan? Something to ponder on this surreal Sunday night. Happy week ahead Flickr buddies :-)
