I want everything to be pure
You, me
This, that
The sheets
Even if we fucked in them the night before
I’d pray for you to sit put
But i’m not sure if I believe in a God
You’re a busy-body
That’s apparent
Thats okay
I’ve been occupied with a scale
It sees the bottom of my feet
We don’t see each other at all
But it’s the military situation
Thats okay
Roger that
Daniele Buetti (b.1955, Switzerland) - White Tears, Lightbox #230. C-print on lightbox, 100x81 cm (2005) / Hand. Lightbox, 97x127 cm (2001-2002)
Many thanks to showslow for this Tumblr Monday to share with us one of her favorites contemporary visual artists: Daniele Buetti, who works in various media including photography, video, sound, drawing, sculpture, and digitally assisted work. The nature of reality and the function of our emotions is Buetti’s ongoing concern. His scenarios use the language and tools of visual seduction, familiar to us through our exposure to advertising and the media. Thus, the artist initially conveys us to a world of apparent desirable happiness and fame. Buetti, however, looks behind the curtains of high-gloss limelight to reveal the frailness of appearances, together with the anxiety and insecurity behind an immaculate façade. He equips his beauties with speech bubbles for them to express unspoken, very personal feelings, far from their consumer appeal. We are lead to reflect on our own emotional experience of the close and infinitely precarious, but also emotional relationship between appearance and reality, exaltation and despair. (cf. wikipedia).
