I think this poster is so beautiful. I love the concept of occupying a dream, something that can't be forced out of a physical space. I also like the idea that each of our own egos contains that which we fight against and thus presents the greatest hurdle. Your blog is great.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, it is a very odd poster. It appears to be an art school drawing--freshman year?--with the suggestive writing added to it.
The Occupy movement has triggered a tremendous of creativity, some of it quite remarkable. Below are links to my two favorite drawings at Occupy Philly:
After being outside for more than a month, the astonishing "LORD MUST I LOVE FIMA" is still there. I saw it just this afternoon, as a matter of fact. A couple times I thought about bringing it home but decided that that would be against the spirit of this movement, and against the wish of the artist. If he didn't want to claim ownership of it, why should I? On the other hand, it will surely fall apart or be thrown in the trash sooner or later. Also, I doubt that many people are as charmed by it as I am.
Also, the naked self as stripped of its egotistical adornments, though, I should add, many of us have more reasons to be humbled, or even humiliated, by our nakedness than others!
Her palms are open and full of peace while she also looks determined. Are the combination of words a reference to another work/slogan or are they just representative of the values the artist hopes to see take the place of ego?
Also, that Illuminai poster is fantastic. Really messes with retribution/power/cycles/natural world and Wall Street colliding.
I saw someone looking at the "Resolve EGO" poster and then when he saw me looking too, he looked guilty, as though he did not want to be associated with Occupy, and he walked sharply away, so I took a picture of the poster and googled it, which brought me to your blog.
People don't talk as much at Occupy Philly like I thought they would. Isn't conversation one of the main points of this? If you seeing me prowling around, do say hello. I'm Vietnamese, obviously, 48, with glasses and a Canon camera.
