Re: "Tumbling Woman": Censored 9/11 Statue
if it's not the point of impact and it is indeed a tumbling woman i think it would have worked better if they tried to make it look like she was suspended in mid air somehow, even if they had to use hidden cables or something along those lines

Re: "Tumbling Woman": Censored 9/11 Statue
i wasnt thinking in terms of good or bad taste, just think it looks a bit stupid how the thing is just put there, looks like it's fallen over or something

Re: "Tumbling Woman": Censored 9/11 Statue
I think all art is interpretive and this is one way to express the artists impression of those who lost their lives through jumping rather then burning to death.

Re: "Tumbling Woman": Censored 9/11 Statue
One of the most difficult things to represent with sculpture is the movement, and in my humble opinion the artist missed it: the shape looks static, nothing in it suggests that the subject is falling from somewhere. To me it looks like someone sitting her ass somewhere, just rotated by 180°.  Movement can be represented in many ways in sculpture: there are a lot of great examples, one of the first that come to mind is Boccioni's Forme uniche della continuità nello spazio Maybe not very nice to see, but definately a sculpture suggesting a torsion:  Or the discobulus, not only suggesting some movement, but even foresaying it  And pain? This one is entitled "La madre dell'ucciso" (the mother of the murdered)  Hardly one won't cry while seeing it live. That's a sculpture. But anyway, it's otrageous that they've censored it, no matter the crap quality of the sculpture. Why not to censor the videos showing the impacts with the towers, and how about the "falling man"?  I don't understand the people who want to cover up any form of depicting such tragedies: according to them we should remove any reference to the holocaust, no more crucifixes, no more references to crusades, no more photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaky, and so on: I thought that to bury one's head in the sand was some ostrich prerogative, but it seems that humans are doing way worse. Yes, the sculpture deserved to be censored, but just because it sucks, not because of what it represents. |
