Another Clothed Female, Naked Male

April 25th, 2009

I found this photo to be extremely odd.  Any thoughts as to the story the photo is telling?  What’s on the floor?  What’s near/on the woman’s head?  Is this photo appealing to you?

    This is called the “Zen” position where the participants are meditating on being Dominant and submissive with the “tumble-weed” type structure being symbolic of their joint synapses reaching out and melding into one essence! :)

    Takes a lot of discipline.
    And some would argue the prurist form of D/s.

    Oh, this works on so many levels!

    1. Simple story: The photographer is taking down his Christmas lights and rolling them into a big ball. He looks at the ball, and thinks: “I’d like to photograph this! I wonder what else I can include in the photo?” So he looks around, spots a naked guy and an anorexic model in an ugly black chiffon dress, and says, “Why not?”

    2. Excuse For Quirky Title: “Fractal Tumbleweed”

    3. Rorschach Test: Clearly the photographer has assembled ambiguous yet subconsciously resonant figures into an image that can be interpreted in many different ways. It’s not about anything in itself; it’s about the viewer, and what they see when they look at it. And might I add, viewer, that based on what you are seeing you are one sick puppy.

    4. Stupid, Hackneyed Neo-Dada Assemblage Of Random Elements: A Seinfeldian story about nothing, the still photo equivalent of a mindless music video.

    5. A rather nice exercise in formalism. The picture is actually very elegant. Notice how the “tumbleweed” is juxtaposed to the skinny chick’s head-dress along the diagonal, placing these two foci along the two one-third lines; the tumbleweed itself (the main focus of the picture) is at the intersection of two of those lines. Notice, though, that there are actually three circular objects in the photo: the head-dress, the tumbleweed, and the man’s head, forming a nice Z shape and guiding the eye between the key visual elements. (There is an echo of these circular shapes in the man’s buttocks as well.) The photographer is also playing with perspective — the man seems smaller than the women because he is farther away from us — and with the contrast between the clothed woman facing us and the unclothed man facing away. I think this formal strength gives the photograph some of its disturbing power.

    What do you think?

    Best,

    Felix

    I love this painting! To me the man is transitioning between three dimensions and two, moving into the wall itself. The shrubbery is doing the same as it is being drawn towards the woman, a symbol of what the man wishes, feels compelled to do, to completely relinquish his ability to move in the vertical. As soon as he becomes one with the wall he will only be able to move left and right according to the wants of the lady in black. The lady is in total control, almost to an overwhelmingly unnatural degree, like an unstoppable force of nature, a sort of dark silent hurricane of feminine passion and utter dominance.

    I love the interpretations I’ve read here in comments.

    These images appear to me almost as symbols in the mind, almost as in a dream.

    I see artful poise, dance and control as the Lady gazes attentively towards the viewer. She emerges confident in the adornments of power (black dress) by virtue of Her knowledge, beauty and skillful prowess.

    I like the synapses entanglement between them, which has created an unseen trap for the unsuspecting male that is undoubtedly growing exponentially behind him as he explores the limits of his new found erotic and chosen captivity, power relinquished.

    That is what it communicates to me.

    You guys are extraordinarily creative :) I’m amazed at the different things you saw.

    i’m still thinking about the black veil. It’s almost as though the Lady is revealing Her identity. Any thought?

    So did we all just fall for a sophisticated version of the ink blot exam?
    :D

    As long as we are having fun, here is my view.

    I have had run-ins with so-called artists who did what I call, “off the wall stuff”, and you can substitue whatever you want for “stuff”. I am not a primitive, but if you show me a picture, and I tell you what I see, don’t be shocked. I tell it the way I see it.

    What I see here is somebody’s imagination expressed with no real meaning behind it. I just take it as it seems. No more, no less.
