death as art
Published June 6th, 2007 by Emma Berg
on my walk home from work today i came across a tiny mouse, dead on the sidewalk. after finding a discarded coffee cup i scooped him up and hid him in the bushes by circa...hoping that he could disappear quietly & alone. the juxtaposition of a tiny dead creature against the cold concrete always makes me sad.
In contradiction, i cannot stop being enchanted with damien hirst, whose animals are splayed out for us to view…but perhaps it is the sadness of it that captures me.
both images are from the guardian article on his current exhibit
amazed,
emma
