It is about rape, so yeah. The telling of trauma is intentional.

[-] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago

Oh ok, I see it now. It seemed abstract at first glance.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago

Totally. It is a bit abstract, or perhaps Dada or Surrealism inspired. It could be said that trauma is baked into those movements.

Sometimes to properly show the horrors of the real you have to leave the real behind

Yeah, history and art don't repeat themselves, contemporaries rhyme with the past.

It's considered surrealist by which ever groups of Art History PhDs who decide these things

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

My first look was similar. But after reading the comments and looking again, it became more obvious to be about rape.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's what I said, in the comments.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your comment. Cheers.

Oh interesting. I definitely see that now. I thought it was “passion according to gh”

I hate that I could tell what it was about without looking at the comments :/

Seems like a good depiction of what it's like to be forced to carry your rapist's baby

It's interesting how the first and final frames have similar poses.
