La suite de mes photos ! Petit jeu : sauras-tu reconnaître ces hauts lieux historico-architecturo-culturels de la capitale catalane ?
Commençons par le Jardi Botanic (du catalan !)
Rappel : pendaison de crémaillère samedi !!! Viendez nombreux !!!
Sinon, je cherche un nom en C pour un petit chat, que je n'ai pas encore.
Allez zou, je file, j'vais voir Naissance des pieuvres au cinoche (au ciné des cinéastes place clichy, très bonne adresse !)
Those who have managed to save a favorite toy from childhood are aware that a kewpie doll, a teddy bear, or a plastic soldier can be a prodigious storehouse of fond memories.Just as cherished toys recall the joys and warmth of a happy childhood, so lost and abandoned toys retain repressed memories of prepubescent trauma and the deep-seated guilt associated with the playing of forbidden games.
While abandoned toys are rejected outright, lost toys represent something evicted from consciousness as in a Freudian slip. Either way, the result is the same: the contents of the childish unconscious at large in the world. As found in parking lots, on sidewalks, or in thrift stores, these toys lack meaningful context and purpose - a situation we attempt to correct.
For the series, Childish Things, we stage mini-psychodramas on miniature sets with the toys portraying the conflicted children who left them behind. We then photograph the resulting tableaus with a shallow focus that suggests the bleary selectivity of memory. By these means, we hope to achieve for the conflicted, former toy-owners a measure of catharsis by proxy.
