painted by my mom. Don’t know why, but it really appeals to me.

The one I keep going back to: Spoiled – by Linda Bergkvist (opens in a pop-up)

It astounds me. The ignorant bliss on Humanity’s face, the blood on her hands… I find new details every time I look at it.

There are close-ups and an explanation from the artist below the main picture.

“Show Your Wound” by Joseph Beuys 1974-75.

Two old mortuary dissection tables are standing in the corner of the room. Above the tables there are some kinds of old lights made from steel. They seem to take the light, not to give it; below the tables are double sets of containers filled with fat, as if bodily fluids had drained into them. Every container has a gauze-wrapped test-tube with thrush’s scull. One the side wall there is a glbum box with two War-age newspapers, they are still in their mailing envelopes, unopened.

On the other wall — a pair of rusty and dirty digger tools. And on the wall near tables — two black boards that resemle window’s silhouette. On one of them there is a writing Zeige deine Wunde (Show Your Wound on German).

I probably can tell you about the symbolism of this work: There are already no bodies on the tables; life has gone with all the fat that gathered in containers as if under gravity effect. Soul left through gauze, only some bones left. The newspapers were not read. And you can feel it all. This is easy to explain, what is nearly impossible to describe is the feeling of mourning and fear that is in the air of this room, so real, that you can almost touch it.

This photo cannot provide the feeling of uber-realism at all. This room is about individual illness and physical injury and collective grief; it shows unresolved personality conflict (notice the doubles) and reflects his country’s recent political history.

It’s a call for an action to ‘show your wound’ but it’s deeply personal and timeless.

DIT #2: The 5 minutes or less has been modified to “about 5 minutes”. If you have already submitted an entry and would like to change it, please feel free to do so as long as it is changed before the new Forumbuildr forum is published. Basically, I don’t want someone to be unable to submit their entry because it’s 5 minutes and 15 seconds when the entire point of the rule is simply to keep things manageable from a viewing perspective.

This change was Mod approved as long as previous entries were allowed to change if they wanted. *spanks* Senor Banhammer! *spanks* Log in to see images!

The Scream (Skrik, 1893-1910) is a seminal series of expressionist paintings by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, depicting an agonised figure against a blood red skyline. It is said by some to symbolise the human species overwhelmed by an attack of existential angst.
