A beautiful work. Another one 8^)

The line between reality and dream is very thin.
Cool.

If I understand right, this is an imaginary installation.
If yes, you probably like this one, too. [link]
What is the meaning of your title for this work. Are the lies that it is not real or just your vision of the girl in a inclined and mirrored world?

My picture also could have this title. One reason is, my wife is walking along an empty wall.

myrnajacobs In reply to christof2k [2007-11-29 17:37:16 +0000 UTC]

I didn't mean to not reply to your question... sorry..
The title 'lies' had to do with something that happened to the girl in real life. There were things that seemed real but were not and they trapped her in a false world (rather like a hall of mirrors) where she couldn't get her true bearings. At least that is the general concept.
And it is 'imaginary' because it is my idea of what happened . . . not necessarily hers and planned to look mirrored in a couple of ways.

Hi Myrna, first I want to thank you very much for your answer.
I had a clue, there could be more than it was to see for me.
Walking along galleries, sometimes I see a work that shows questions to me
and then I try to find an answer.
Your words are a great help and the stoy behind are giving another dimension this picture.

It is like I had it with the painting "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso. I knew that painting for a long time from books and posters
and I liked it because of Picasso's art.
In 1985 I could see it for real. It was shown in a special protected museum in Madrid, only made for this one, safed behind a skeleton
of bullitproof glass. The fear of fashists and their bombs was easy to see as well as the meaning of this picture to the spanish people.
Seing old men and woman kneeling down, praying and silently crying was very impressive to me.
This just as a little explanation for me insist to get more info.
Thank's again.
Best regards
Christof (please excuse my poor english)

The picture is to see in Madrid and that is great reason to go and see it, too.

Your english is just fine. I wish that my french (the only other language I use at all) was even half so good as your English.

I have never seen Guernica in person but would love to. I watched a TV show that went through the painting and told of it's history and meaning...wow!

"That first lie and you think, it must be a joke...
Then the second brings bitter laugh - laughter' never enough...
But the third when it storms trough your heart's door,
Deeper wounds you than even the war foe..."

My attempt at translation from Bulat Okudzhava - from Russian via Polish to English. I couldn't find *ready* translation of that song and his verses are really rich in meanings, even after translating to *cold* language like English - [link] . Check the "Francois Villon" on that page.
