As a follow up to yesterday’s post, today’s art tour photo is a photo collage from the same time period. But in this case, rather than depicting an identity crisis, the artwork questions the possibility of multi-dimensional existence — or maybe just multiple personality disorders. Does that sound like the latest LOST episode? They’re on the island, but they’re in LA. John Locke is dead — but he’s on the plane too.
This artwork predates LOST by many years; it found it’s roots in an overly pedantic magazine article which addressed post-modernism in art and it’s connection to individuals in primitive societies coexisting as human beings and ravens (or was it crows?). Ah — college — the things we spent our time on.
At any rate, today’s question is: Are we pulled in so many directions that we feel as if we’re living multi-dimensional lives? Or instead, do we all have multiple personality disorders? And if so, how do we effectively balance our varying personalities and planes of existence to project a capable whole to the outside world?
