![]() Found in [REDACTED] in Munch. Quote:
Michael, In fact, all language is made up from individual metaphors. That's all we have. In art, the picture does not have to be a metaphor, of course. It can simply be a record of what someone might observe. Still, your picture is interesting enough to be amusing. More than that it has a message within it by the person who tied the string: "Please do not open this door, I wish to keep you out, even though you could easilly get rid of the string. I hope you will respect my inherently obvious wishes!" At this point, your photograph has already worked its way beyond being merely a simple record of what one might see. I merely wonder what else this might represent, such as the difference between what one can do and what one shouldn't do. After all you have shown a point of vulnerability in someone's attempt at some "defense" of privacy. I would argue, that when one revisits this unusual photograph, it works to be more than humorous and can lead us to explore ideas of vulnerability of others. So that is why I posed the question.

Asher,

You can see it as an ill-fated attempt to achieve some security by someone who doesn't know better or - on the other end of the spectrum - security theatre. All depends on your state of mind... Best regards, Michael

I presume the was some other part of the sign that is either excluded or didn't switch on! Such images may become part of your vintage lighting collection. Just for how long more will neon lights be made? LED lights are so inexpensive, but art wise, those glass tubes do have a special charm. Asher

It is the rearward reflection of the sign. The dotted line in the center is a reflection of LED lights. If you look closer, you will see the reflection of some bottles behind the bar in the lower half of the picture. Best regards, Michael

Well, Michael, I have often rationalized that they would never reuse such downed signs but rather trash then instead. "Thus spoke my conscience!" But I realized that my wife would not tolerate that coming into the house on top of the wind blown palm leaves I can't resist collecting! Michael, That is superb for a face! What a 👍 💡 for a 🚂! Looks like Thomas train set! Asher

Michael, I have to come back to this as it's extraordinarily handsome, simple and powerful. What is it exactly? Asher
