catastrophic visions
cindy stelmackowich’s disaster series suggests
the possibility that human tragedies, losses, and sufferings might actually lodge themselves somewhere deep inside our anatomies, deep inside ourselves…our current culture of calamity and its own obsessive specters of disaster, has no choice but to be caught posing, acting and feeling half alive as well as half dead.
I just took the guerilla 14 images of Burning of the Houses of Assembly, Montréal — April 25, 1849 (2007) off my fridge and replaced all the art in that illustrious locale with a magnet that has the following emily dickinson quote on it
dwell in possibility.
btw - guerilla is a wonderful poster mag that is created as a labour of love by the editors!
I think that made me feel better!
