Trojan Horse And Fish

One Of My Blogs yesterday talked about modern art, but that might not be so modern now . The value of necessity and utility is not very clear any more, whether the subject serves the object or the reverse. The newest photography, by Romain Laurent, depicts conglomeration of people, or shoes, or piles of fish !!

Another example is the installation of Rafa Gallard, titled 'Bimba Gum', in which there are great, thick and enormous pieces of gum having been chewed by Bimba Bose, (celebrity I presume), In which can also be seen the impression of huge dental mark and the rest of DNA.

Or the world of fashion, like in the suggestive horse of Trojan, by Sonia Carballo, or the project of the group 'A happy world', with it's emblem of 'Live Fashion, Die Young' (!!) ... are amongst some of the themes. Not sure whether it's artistic; weird is all I can say.

Confused? Baffled? I certainly am. The so called modern art today is getting impossible to define -photography, murals, graffiti, installations, structures of any kind, videos and video clips ... summing up to more than 100 proposals, many of them come, quite significantly, from artists who work for sectors of fashion and publicity.

So what do you think of this fish mount? Artistic? Or just dead fish?
