.. segnando i passi più profondi d'anima.. e dimmi amore dove sei? di coraggio morirei.. per venire verso te.. ma non mi muovo, no. ti aspetterò.
This sculpture really struck me right in the existentialism. The card describing it gives a quote by the artist "The thought is the eternally present fact that however closely we may be thrown together by circumstances...we are unknown to each other." The figures carved into the marble are forever linked together, and yet they can't even really see each other.
There is only darkness and light. The light is alone in the darkness.
Sorry if it doesn't match the description. I liked the title, though.
'Cause I sorta' don't know what existentialism is. xP
Two men decide the fate of a suicidal man in an image inspired by Samuel Beckett's play, "Rough for Theater II."
I will "see/know" the world betwen the "primary colors"; just like through a rainbow...

Saw this on the tube and have absolutely no idea what it means. Existentialism is polite? I should hold hands with couples at all times? Anyone know?

wonderlustinglynda: Phew I'm not stupid. It's a work of art called 'Acts of Kindness' by Michael Landy (best known for his work Breakdown where he destroyed every single possession he owned on Oxford Street)
Newest project work, the theme being Existentialism. I chose to look at how people perceive their own freedom and take it for granted, and in doing so, raise awareness for prisoners of concience. Inspired by the story of Burmese Khun Bedu, serving a 37 year prison sentence for a peaceful protest- launching a wave of informative balloons, I have designed a website giving users a platform to express and use their freedom by customizing a balloon with their own beliefs and release it upon the internet. It gives users an appreciation for their Existentialist human rights and opens their eyes to injustice worldwide. The imagery of the balloon pulling along the burden of its ball and chain highlights the potential consequences- the price of freedom. Though until the user's freedom has been exercised, the ball and chain remains hidden- its appearance leading to users questioning their freedom- "Would I have made that decision had I known the consequences?". Not knowing the risks made them truly free.
The beautiful truth is that we as human beings are free to stand against what we choose, despite the consequences. Khun Bedu and other prisoners of concience are serving unjust sentences and must be freed, but until this is achieved, they are still essentially free to believe. The balloons will continute to float despite their heavy burden.
