‘All hope abandon, ye who enter here …’
This is the entry to Alfredo Jaar's The Divine Comedy looking at Dante's great work. It is described as, "Mona’s answer to the afterlife: a journey through hell, purgatory and paradise (via Dante, of course)."
Given the constraints of time on this short visit, I was not able to experience what was behind that door at the top of the stairs. So I am unable to verify whether or not people ever return from visiting here. But the entrance does look suspiciously like a Mark Rothko painting.

The Kollage Kit
Challenge: The Divine Comedy
This challenge inspired me to create a triptych of ATCs to portray the three parts:
Inferno: "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"
Purgatorio: "And I'll sing, now, about that second realm where human spiritspurge themselves from stain, becoming worthy to ascend to Heaven."
Paradiso: "The love that moves the sun and stars."
Aquest és un exemplar molt especial del First Folio es.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Folio, de Shakespeare. Quan es va editar,la Bodleian Library , la extraordinària biblioteca de la Universitat d'Oxford, el va adquirir, cap allà al 1623, però al cap d'uns anys es va perdre i ningú va saber de què se n'havia fet. A l'any 1905 va aparèixer un estudiant amb aquest llibre sota el braç el qual es va poder comprovar que era l'exemplar que havia sortit de la biblioteca perquè algú li havia arrencat el segell que se'ls posava en aquella època a la coberta. Es ben visible el lloc on havia estat enganxat aquest segell. La biblioteca va fer una colecta entre els ciutadans d'Oxford per poder comprar el llibre , ja que un comprador americà n'oferia 3.000 lliures de l'any 1905. Ben aviat van aconseguir els diners i ara el llibre és un dels molts tresors de la Bodleian.
Va ser molt emocionant per a nosaltres, està a llocs on la història i la cultura s'escriuen en majúscules !

Thank you very much everyone for your visits, comments and faves. Much appreciated.
One of my favourite ever Big Carp covers, a young Terry Hearn with what was then the biggest carp in the UK at the time Mary. From Wraysbury1 120 acre lake. In the days when there was only an handful of carp in there. Though the lake now as huge amounts of carp in, and the lake is much more smaller, and more than ten times easier to catch from now.
For those who have asked, have I ever had anything published before.
I had the old Loaded magazine years ago ask me about the days of the 'Casuals', and how we brought in clothing from countries like Italy. Maybe I will write about that another time.
Maxim magazine wrote a small piece about me once catching big catfish.
Though my own personal hand written stuff, started with some short comedy pieces in local rags, and then onto mainstream newspapers like the Daily Mirror. It was only letter page stuff though, but they printed it. I can write about most subjects.
Though it's fishing magazines I have had most of my articles printed in.
I used to have my own underground OTT fishing newsletter get passed around lakes all over the UK, and some did make it as far as Europe, Canada, America, New Zealand and Australia. Purely from anglers passing them on when going on fishing holidays.
Cos of this (Excuse my bad English). I ended up in fishing magazines. Rob Maylin of Big Carp Magazine is the only one to ever print one of my serious articles in a fishing monthly. Though in them days they were bi-monthly's.
Though Rob was the first one to have the balls to print my real crazy stuff. From Dr Kibble's Approach, Kibble's Column, Bivvy Babe Sideways Sally, Jimmy Old Jokes, Some Carp Casualties, Kibble's Creations, Kibble's Kartoons, to Kibbles Krumpet. The list is endless.
A long time ago now. I wrote a 12 page article in Big Carp magazine, it was more like an hour of stand up than fishing. Many anglers still go on about that to me to this day, when I bump into them on my travels. Some of them are anglers I don't even know.
Kibble's Krumpet come about after a fishing website I had. The website was full of funny anglers, big and small captures. Size of fish didn't really matter. Loads of crazy story's. There was topless and nude models on it as well. At first I used to take the photos myself, but in the end other websites give me free photos of models, in return I had to put them up as a link on my website. I never put up any pornographic stuff though. All nude models had to be over 21. It was popular. I had to close it down in the end. It just got to popular, and the website hosts started to want more money off of me, because they thought I was running it as a business. I just started it as a joke, and that is all it ever was. Nothing was ever sold on it.
There's no point sending my type of material to some editors. If they are boring old farts with no sense of humour. Your just wasting your time. I know Rob Maylin gets me, he has a good sense of humour, and he is a bit of a geezer.

A pair of ancient Greek theatre masks reflect the ups & downs (joys & sorrows) of our human lives . Also called the Sock & Buskin as an actor in a tragic role wore a type of boot (buskin) to elevate him above the other actors who only wore socks on their feet. Grapes on the comedy mask suggest the joyful influence of wine & the horns for devilish fun !!
Be a bit of a devil & look at my masks album .
Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton (October 4, 1895 – February 1, 1966) was an American comic actor, filmmaker, producer and writer. He was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression, earning him the nickname "The Great Stone Face".

Swiss-German-British postcard by News Productions, Baulmes / Filmwelt Berlin, Bakede / News Productions, Stroud, no. 56501. Photo: Collection Cinémathèque Suisse, Lausanne.Brigitte Bardot and Yves Robert in Les Grandes Manoeuvres/Summer Manoeuvres (René Clair, 1955), produced by Filmsonor and Rizzoli Films.
Beautiful French actress Brigitte Bardot (1934) was the sex kitten of the European film industry. BB starred in 48 films, performed in numerous musical shows, and recorded 80 songs. After her retirement in 1973, she established herself as an animal rights activist and made vegetarianism sexy.
Brigitte Bardot was born in Paris in 1934. Her father, Louis Bardot, had an engineering degree and worked with his father in the family business. Her mother, Ann-Marie Mucel, was 14 years younger than Brigitte's father and they married in 1933. Brigitte's mother encouraged her daughter to take up music and dance. At the age of 13, she entered the Conservatoire Nationale de Danse to study ballet. By the time she was 15, Brigitte was trying a modeling career and found herself in May 1949 on the cover of the French magazine Elle. Her incredible beauty was readily apparent, Brigitte was noticed by Roger Vadim, then an assistant to the film director Marc Allegrét. Vadim was infatuated with Bardot and encouraged her to start working as a film actress. BB was 18 when she debuted in the comedy Le Trou Normand/Crazy for Love (Jean Boyer, 1952). In the same year, she married Vadim. Brigitte wanted to marry him when she was 17, but her parents quashed any marriage plans until she turned 18. In April 1953 she attended the Cannes Film Festival where she received massive media attention. She soon was every man's idea of the girl he'd like to meet in Paris. From 1952 to 1956 she appeared in seventeen films. Her films were generally lightweight romantic dramas in which she was cast as ingénue or siren, often with an element of undress. She made her first US production in 1953 in Un acte d'amour/Act of Love (Anatole Litvak, 1953) with Kirk Douglas, but she continued to make films in France.
Roger Vadim was not content with the light fare his wife was offered. He felt Brigitte Bardot was being undersold. Looking for something more like an art film to push her as a serious actress, he showcased her in Et Dieu créa la femme/...And God Created Woman (Roger Vadim, 1956). This film, about an immoral teenager in a respectable small-town setting, was a smashing success on both sides of the Atlantic. Craig Butler at AllMovie: "It's easy enough to say that ...And God Created Woman is much more important for its historical significance than for its actual quality as a film, and that's true to an extent. Woman's immense popularity, due to its willingness to directly embrace an exploration of sex as well as its willingness to show a degree of nudity that was remarkably daring for its day, demonstrated that audiences were willing to view subject matter that was considered too racy for the average moviegoer. This had both positive (freedom to explore, especially for the French filmmakers of the time) and negative (freedom to exploit) consequences, but its impact is undeniable. It's also true that Woman is not a great work of art, not with a story that is ultimately rather thin, some painful dialogue, and an attitude toward its characters and their sexuality that is unclear and inconsistent. Yet Woman is still fascinating, due in no small part to the presence of Brigitte Bardot in the role that made her an international star and sex symbol. She's not demonstrating great acting here, although her performance is actually good and much better than necessary, and her legendary mambo scene at the climax is nothing short of sensational." During the shooting of Et Dieu créa la femme/And God Created Woman (1956), directed by her husband Roger Vadim, Brigitte Bardot had an affair with her co-star Jean-Louis Trintignant, who at that time was married to French actress Stéphane Audran. Her divorce from Vadim followed, but they remained friends and collaborated in later work.
Et Dieu créa la femme/...And God Created Woman (Roger Vadim, 1956) helped her international status. The film took the USA by storm, her explosive sexuality being unlike anything seen in the States since the days of the 'flapper' in the 1920s. It gave rise to the phrase 'sex kitten' and fascination of her in America consisted of magazine photographs and dubbed over French films - good, bad, or indifferent, her films drew audiences - mainly men - into theaters like lemmings.BB appeared in light comedies like Doctor at Large (1957) - the third of the British 'Doctor' series starring Dirk Bogarde - and Une Parisienne/La Parisienne (Michel Boisrond, 1957) which suited her acting skills best. However, she was a sensation in the crime drama En cas de malheur/Love is my profession (Claude Autant-Lara, 1958). Hal Erickson at AllMovie: "this Brigitte Bardot vehicle ran into stiff opposition from the Catholic Legion of Decency, severely limiting its U.S. distribution. Bardot plays a nubile small-time thief named Yvette, who becomes the mistress of influential defense attorney Andre (Jean Gabin). Though Andre is able to shower Yvette with jewels and furs, he cannot "buy" her heart, and thus it is that it belongs to handsome young student Mazzetti (Franco Interlenghi). Alas, Yvette is no judge of human nature: attractive though Mazzetti can be, he has a dangerous and deadly side. En Cas de Malheur contains a nude scene that has since been reprinted in freeze-frame form innumerable times by both film-history books and girlie magazines." Photographer Sam Lévin's photos contributed considerably to her image of sensuality and slight immorality. One of Lévin's pictures shows Brigitte, dressed in a white corset. It is said that around 1960 postcards with this photograph outsold in Paris those of the Eiffel Tower.
Brigitte Bardot divorced Vadim in 1957 and in 1959 she married actor Jacques Charrier, with whom she starred in Babette s'en va-t-en guerre/Babette Goes to War (Christian-Jaque, 1959). The paparazzi preyed upon her marriage, while she and her husband clashed over the direction of her career. Her films became more substantial, but this brought a heavy pressure of dual celebrity as she sought critical acclaim while remaining a glamour model for most of the world. Vie privée/Private Life (1962), directed by Louis Malle has more than an element of autobiography in it. James Travers at Films de France: "Brigitte Bardot hadn’t quite reached the highpoint of her career when she agreed to make this film with high profile New Wave film director Louis Malle. Even so, the pressure of being a living icon was obviously beginning to get to France’s sex goddess and Vie privée is as much an attempt by Bardot to come to terms with her celebrity as anything else. Malle is clearly fascinated by Bardot and the documentary approach he adopts for this film reinforces the impression that it is more a biography of the actress than a work of fiction. Of course, it’s not entirely biographical, but the story is remarkably close to Bardot’s own life and comes pretty close to predicting how her career would end." The scene in which, returning to her apartment, Bardot's character is harangued in the elevator by a middle-aged cleaning lady calling her offensive names, was based on an actual incident and is a resonant image of a celebrity in the mid-20th century. Soon afterward Bardot withdrew to the seclusion of Southern France.
Brigitte Bardot's other husbands were German millionaire playboy Gunter Sachs and right-wing politician Bernard d'Ormale. She is reputed to have had relationships with many other men including Sami Frey, her co-star in La Vérité/The Truth (Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1960), and musicians Serge Gainsbourg and Sacha Distel. In 1963, Brigitte Bardot starred in Godard's critically acclaimed film Le Mépris/Contempt (Jean-Luc Godard, 1963). She was also featured along with such notable actors as Alain Delon in Amours célèbres/Famous Love Affairs (Michel Boisrond, 1961) and Histoires extraordinaires/Tales of Mystery (Louis Malle, 1968), Jeanne Moreau in Viva Maria! (Louis Malle, 1965), Sean Connery in Shalako (Edward Dmytryk, 1968), and Claudia Cardinale in Les Pétroleuses/Petroleum Girls (Christian-Jaque, 1971). She participated in various musical shows and recorded many popular songs in the 1960s and 1970s, mostly in collaboration with Serge Gainsbourg, Bob Zagury, and Sacha Distel, including 'Harley Davidson', 'Le Soleil De Ma Vie' (the cover of Stevie Wonder's 'You Are the Sunshine of My Life') and the notorious 'Je t'aime... moi non plus'.
Brigitte Bardot’s film career showed a steady decline in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1973 just before her fortieth birthday, she announced her retirement. She chose to use her fame to promote animal rights. In 1976 she established the Brigitte Bardot Foundation for the Welfare and Protection of Animals. She became a vegetarian and raised three million French francs to fund the foundation by auctioning off jewelry and many personal belongings. For this work, she was awarded the Légion d’honneur in 1984. During the 1990's she became also outspoken in her criticism of immigration, interracial relationships, Islam in France, and homosexuality. Her husband Bernard d'Ormal is a former adviser of the far-right Front National party. Bardot has been convicted five times for 'inciting racial hatred'. More fun is that Bardot is recognised for popularizing bikini swimwear, in early films such as Manina/Woman without a Veil (1952), in her appearances at Cannes and in many photoshoots. Bardot also brought into fashion the 'choucroute' ('Sauerkraut') hairstyle (a sort of beehive hairstyle) and gingham clothes after wearing a checkered pink dress, designed by Jacques Esterel, at her wedding to Charrier. The fashions of the 1960s looked effortlessly right and spontaneous on her. Time Magazine: "She is the princess of pout, the countess of come hither. Brigitte Bardot exuded a carefree, naïve sexuality that brought a whole new audience to French films."
