Art... (not Sands)

from Christel Green (look.no@film.dk)
One of this years big media events in Denmark was an art exhibition called "Eye Go Black". One of the items on exhibit was a table full of kitchen blenders, each plugged in and containing a live fish. The intent of the artist was to make a visual - and realistic - representation of the big choice human kind is facing - to kill or not to kill. Backed (financially, so the story goes) by a tabloid newspaper, a member of the public chose to kill one of the fish by turning on the blender - surrounded by hordes of press photographers. I was not there that day (fortunately - or they would have had to wipe something off the floor - not sure what...), but a few days later. I hung around the display for a couple of hours, and this is my favourite shot of the day:

I also had occasion to watch a pro at work and saw him take the kind of shot that most of the pros went for...

..I dismissed that idea as hackneyed the moment I walked through the door - am I stupid?
