Mise en scene

I would like to talk to this at some point with reference to Andrew Sarris and his ideas about it (I like them). Not tonight, going into town.

Adam Walsh

This is a great example of Adam Walsh's work. The image is stark, gritty and challenging. The subject has, what I think is, a wonderful punk attitude - delicately portayed in profile- against a backdrop of derelict property. Perhaps she is dancing in slow motion to The Clash's Rock The Casbah. Taken in 2003 by the London based photographer it is nevertheless and disturbingly 70's chic. Like all of Adam Walsh's photography is has a distinct cutting edge to it. Check out Adam's website. It is my hope to interview this guy at some point. In the meantime enjoy fur covered creatures.

Strange Colours

Strange Colours Anyone who knows me well, will also know that I love the idea of defiant freedom. Like surfers, respecting, though willing to take up the challenge of high winds and stormy seas, or climbers, battling against the destructive forces of gravity, both sets make up their own rules and reality as they proceed and develop. Every wave, like every mountain, like every mountain route is different. I remember walking in the hills around Arca, in northern Italy and being absolutely transfixed by the climbers clinging to rock, as I walked to the top. I took photographs, but it never really captured the moment. Some even waved and posed for the camera from their lofty positions. To me, graffiti artists join this band showing their defiant freedom to the world. In the same way as the climbers and surfers, seem, to me, to manage impossible things, graffiti artists are replying to the world, 'Who says?' I kind of like that. For those of you who have read 'Late' part two, there is a section in there on defiant freedom. Note - I have said graffiti artists as distinct from those without artistic purpose. My definition of 'graffiti artist' is a talented, albeit disaffected' person who operates outside the inner sanctum of supposedly 'respected art'. I could write an essay on this, suffice to say at this point, enjoy Andrea Style One - below - another Italian graffiti Star like Pietro. And, think as you walk around your cities about all the destructive, and extremely artistic, advertising that surrounds you. Think about ads for such things as alcohol, gambling and fast food and think about the unquestioned legitmacy of these ads and how many lives have been damaged by them? Feel free to comment. Sergio
