Critique Welcomed Real Bodies

[Milan Vjestica]

Not sure if this belongs here, mods feel free to relocate if you feel the need.

Not the most aesthetic images. The exhibition "Real Bodies" can be a little confronting. How they made the exhibits and where they sourced the bodies from has led to some controversy. Here is my take on parts of the exhibition.

My favourite is the third. Very few people spotted the shadow looking feminine as a reflection of the male source. The last made me smile..........might be seen on the pitch at "Walking Football".

That is a fine set of images, you have done a great job of capturing the scenes.

Certainly a controversial exhibition, as previous ones of this kind have been. While I admire the skill of the artists who have done the work, I do not think I would want to see it myself.

 

[Milan Vjestica]

I understand Dave. Some of the displays are confronting. The section on feotal development was very much the case (I did not take any images there).

 

[Brian Moore]

I agree with Dave. Great set of shots, Milan, but not an exhibition I would want to see.

 

[Pete Askew]

Super shots, Milan of a very striking subject, and a controversial one too. I have mixed feelings about these exhibitions - they tread a fine line between education and sensationalism and the source of these latest ones seems rather poorly explained.

 

[Milan Vjestica]

Well put Pete.

It is quite extraordinary what acquaintances you have Milan, but I guess there are some funny ones here too. Lovely images and very interesting.

Hi Ivar, so true. You should meet some of the living ones!
