As I said...?


"RUBBISHTM "


This thread is actually about "rubbish"


( rather than the other rubbish I normally post )


http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4601210329_a6455c55cd_m.jpg ( yesterdays rubbish on location, Sydenham )


This is real & found "rubbish" & not that other rubbish found by googling "rubbish" then lifting those images for your own pleasures, which is IMHO " rubbish "


I have a whole library of images on the subject of "rubbish" for you to enjoy, it has all been shot on location ( by me & my eldest son ) in the surrounding area of South East London


I am however, breaking new ground soon in the West End & further afield


You will be suprised at the quality of the "rubbish" out there

Is this Rubbish..?


Well it has been "dumped" in the street


But look how the chair is propped up by the white railing, it in turn drawing the eye into the scene


See how the back of the chair, it's remaining leg & the doors are of the same colour, almost abstracting the image


The seemingly casual juxtaposition between the door & other items in the composition suggest a dwelling abandoned, a life fractured & even a metaphor for the broken society we live in.


Look even closer at the doors, what lies beyond them & their warning signs. We see that all is not well & that one small push could tip this scene into chaos



It's discoveries like this that make me question the immediate living world, what it means to be part of the society & space we inhabit



When I saw & realised this, I was profoundly moved

It also reminded me of this 1888 painting "The Chair" by Vincent Van Gough


http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/vincent-van-gogh-paintings-from-the-yellow-house-4.jpg



The yellow chair sits in the kitchen corner on battered brown tiles, next to a closed blue door, with a box of onions behind it. Its fat round wooden legs are stoutly braced by uneven bars, the whole thing bashed together quickly and asymmetrically, with a high, hard back and straw seat. Resting on it is a pipe, and tobacco in a bit of crumpled paper.




It's a beautiful world...

my dutch cousin Van Dystar prefers a capitalised V D..

Indeed...


.... he did kpc


Though this may well have been part of what sent him mad



I do believe he originally intended to include a mattress within the composition however, he was advised against it by the artist Tracey Emin


She later took inspiration for the seminal piece "My Bed", finally breaking away from her friend Vincent to become an artist in her own right


You will see here in the image below RubbishTM street arts very important contribution, towards the final realisation of the piece


Though this was in turn part of an ongoing influence in the artists life, as was this hand held "edible" sculpture

In all a very pertinent observation kpc




I am glad you appreciate the piece

    • I think it's a good idea and follows the example of other towns/areas. As it says in the article, the area around the main tourist attractions in Southwark, that is The Globe, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern and the whole walking route from London Bridge to Blackfriars, takes a lot of maintaining and it shouldn't be a burden on regular council tax payers like us.
