Jill Greenberg
"Back in 2008, Greenberg was commissioned to shoot a commercial fashion spread with the US Olympic Synchronized Swim Team, which asked the ladies to wear high heels. Struck by the absurdity of it all, Greenberg was inspired to create a fine art set that would show the "tension of her models coming to the surface gasping for air while wrestling with the weight of the water as a metaphor for the role women must play in the outside world."

So without the description above, I would just think, "eh vat?" Knowing the description, my thoughts have not changed.
ReplyDeleteShould an artist need to describe the purpose of his/her work in order for people to understand it? Wouldn't it be better if he/she left people to their own devices to think of its meaning? Or should the meaning be more blatant and not hidden (in this case heals as the symbol or the corporate world, etc.)?
That being said, high heels underwater is a pretty cool fashion trend. Wonder how fast it will catch on... hahaha.
