When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
When in Swansea a couple of weeks ago, we passed by the fairground which had been set up especially for the festive season. I was struck by the loss of meaning of the Christmas celebration and the "tinsel town" attraction of the fairground. When stopping to take a shot I noticed how, despite the large amount of light around, the people appeared as empty shadows. This lead me to think of the poem by T.S Eliot: "The Hollow Men" especially these lines:
"We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together.... Shape without form, shade without colour, Paralysed force, gesture without motion;... Here we go round the prickly pear Prickly pear prickly pear Here we go round the prickly pear At five o’clock in the morning. Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow.... This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper." |
