Heroin

This is a very an impressive photo : It automatically makes us think about all the paintings about Christ sharing bread, which in the context of this particular folder, without developping more, makes this photo a very powerfull one.

Laurent, I do not understand "which in the context of this particular folder, without developping more,"...maybe I understand but I am not sure....In this place there was not much light; that shot in any light needed a tripod. Thank you for the critique.

Sorry, but I can't help doing associations which have nothing to do with the technical qualities of a photo but rather are on a more let's say "intellectual" level.

 

What I see in this folder, is a ritual shared by two persons. They have this ritual in order to access another level of counsciouness, perception, or perhaps find a way to avoid the reality, which ends up beeing the same.

 

This is therefore a whole spiritual ritual : Spirituality beeing the way to have our mind travel without the body itslef moving in space.

 

And bu analogy it is a religious ritual, and that is what made me automatically associate this particular photo with Christ sharing the bread, which bread is today His body.

 

I hope my fenchy way of writting english is understandable.

 

On your email you mentioned that I had not responded or answered. Sorry. I will try again. You wrote.......makes us think about a painting...I said that I understand. I think that I have seen such a painting, maybe not. I did not know what they were doing in the painting but I know from elsewhere of the concept. On the other hand, most of us have not seen such an painting and would not think of it. Maybe that is why I did not know how to comment

I have a friend in Columbia. She is Catholic. I will ask her to explain to me about the painting. Thanks again for the input.

Your friend in Columbia will probably be able to explain you about the signification of the breaking of the bread, I have to warn you that if she is very religious, she may not like the association I made with your serie of photos.

It is not important that you don't know of these paintings:

For me that is precisely the power of your photos : they are so human, that we can all relate to them, seeing our own humanity whatever our cultures knowledge or faith.

here are a few links about some of the paintings depicting the last supper :

Leonardo Da Vinci

Jacopo Bassano

Carl Bloch

Thank you. I have not ask her but she will not be offended.

I am just reading again your commentary again. I regret that I did not yet go the the links. Now I am reminded to do so. The only thing that I know about your painting, and now I recall, is that probably it depicts a Passover Seder.
