Jesus of the day: "Jesus Premonition"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome back, everyone!
I have selected a few of the religious/Jesus based artworks I have seen and photographed at scope and I have uploaded them to the flickr account, as a sort of "Collateral Jesus". I couldn't possibly add all of these to the project. Jesus is very much omnipresent everywhere I'm going.
So if I wanted to photograph every Jesus Image I see, it would take me four times as long to get anywhere and I would need hundreds of extra hours to select all the nice ones and add them to the project. So: I'm sorry, only a small collection for you guys.
I'm not an experienced art photographer and I'm also very shy so please excuse that I have not photographed the little name tags that go with the images.
What happens though, during the course of this project, is that I'm not more or less religious. I don't believe any more in God or Jesus than I did before. If at all, my position has been strenghtened.
What happens is, however, that I now detect a Jesus in my surrounding with higher accuracy than before. My radar is now tuned on Jesus. And I have developed an interest in how this figure (cultural and religious) is dealt with in art and decorative imagery.
