the sixth day, the third novell...

Fotografia Digitale, Ritratto, Simbolo / Lettera, Felicità, Digitale, 100x75cm

morality fables and medieval allegory, including the Decameron, reveal the frailty of the human
condition...this 14thcentury text is being played out still...sometimes we are caught out...sometimes we resolve to love.

Me too! That's why I like this work. We feel protective of the old, but at the same time they have lived a life that only they are responsible for. Villain or victim?

I think what disturbs (and interests me) about these images is the notion of culpability. Is this old man being mocked because of past misdeeds? Is he an active agent in his "mocking". Am I, through my gaze, responding to the transgressive act of a "patriarch" being feminised ie humiliated? I don't know, but I am certainly intrigued.

Thanks for your comment, K M. Is there a difference? As you progress through life I think you realise the two collide. Any response welcomed. J

"Where in there is declared that mockers do sometimes meete with their matches in mockery, and to their owne shame". This is such a sad and poignant set of images. Is it knowing self mockery or humiliation?
