there's something inside of you

i apologize for taking photos at the moma, i apologize. in reality the camera took this photo not me. this exhibit was so beautiful. the performance artist i am speaking about blew my friggin' anklets way off. i don't - TRADITIONALLY - give a hoo wa about performance art but this woman...anyway - believe and care and buy in to what you want, question it or don't, ignore it or embrace it. at this exhibit i chose to embrace it and identify how i was feeling whilst/after each piece. the artist has already performed this piece you see here, but it was her retrospective and so she had hired people to 're-create' her original works...here, quite simply, she builds on the idea of buddhists who meditate for hours/days in rooms filled wish ashes of the dead. anyway, as the woman breathes in and out, so rises the skeleton - as if still alive, and breathing. quite simple really. it is - again - as complicated or beautiful or tragic or dramatic as we want it to be.
