robidooo 0 Posted October 12, 2004 Trully a masterpiece. I like it a lot. The idea is really good, as well as the execution. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted October 14, 2004 I`m trying to figure out it`s meaning. Who are the men? Nietzsche? N.N.? Luther? What`s written on the floor? Link to comment
leepix 0 Posted October 14, 2004 I couln't help laughing when first seeing this image. Not at the photo, but because I thought it humopurous in content. (I mean no disrespect) It is very compelling and dangerously attractive. Nice execution. Keep it coming. Look forward to more of your work. Lee mclaughlin Link to comment
sarahunderhill 1 Posted October 15, 2004 Well done photograph. I am having a hard time getting the full meaning, I don't understand the letters or the photos....I think this is because the photo was made in Russia. I am in the US. Link to comment
dmozzherin 0 Posted October 15, 2004 Vladimir, this is great!!!! If you change the name to "hangman game" people will get it faster. Link to comment
vladimir lestrovoy 0 Posted October 15, 2004 Thank You!!! Now I'll try to answer your questions. The portraits belong to two well-know Russian linguists who created the best orthographic and explanatory dictionaries and Mr. Torkvemada, The Great Inquisitor. As for the word on the floor it is clear from the letters that it may be old Russian word that means ?life?. But in Russian language the same row of letters may also mean ?Vivat!?. Link to comment

fotophi 0 Posted May 10, 2005 Content and Image is exquisite! I particularly like that the writing is at an angle..to the lines on the floor..don't know why you particulary did that..but the geometry is thought provoking! 7/7 Link to comment
golden 1 Posted April 15, 2008 very thought provoking, probably the best ive seen. this could be a twilight zone episode. Link to comment
golden 1 Posted April 18, 2008 I cant seem to get enough of this image! Ive been telling everyone at work about it. Its like the man is in really deep thought because he knows if he misses the letter what will happen, I would like to purchase a copy of this print if possible. contact me if interested. thanks.
