En War Photography X Vintage Comics, Butcher Billy mezcla referencias a diferentes universos para crear algo nuevo, buscando destacar los contrastes entre el colorista mundo del comic vintage y el gris mundo real. "La experiencia visual da resultados diferentes para cada pieza y un nuevo significado a cada imagen, modificando el concepto original; reforzar la misma idea, dejando claro qué elementos fueron influenciados por la historia que se muestra en las fotos, o incluso hablando sobre la psicología detrás de ficción y realidad..."

considero tan de mal gusto la de "Napalm Girl", Vietnam, 1972,
ResponderEliminarA la posible controversia que "Napalm Girl", Vietnam, 1972 pudiera generar, el autor se refiere en estos terminos:
EliminarThis is another controversial piece. Of course it's not my intention to mock or poke fun at that situation whatsoever. For starters, the whole project is a commentary on the basic concept of War Photography. I'm sure a lot of war photographers get criticised for exploring moments like that to take award-winning shots instead of help people in that kind of situation. That was the first thing that came into my mind when I first saw that, and other war pictures in my life. But in the other hand this is now history that has to be told. And has to be learned, so it won't happen ever again (although it still does). Now to the meaning of the actual mashup: as much as I love Superman, we all know what he used to represent, especially at the time of that comic, the 40's/50's - and his presence there is a commentary on that. Enough said.
Me decido a expresarme a pesar de que borré el cometario que iba a dejar en este post en G+.
ResponderEliminarMe parecen de un mal gusto y una frivolidad acojonantes...
Perdóname amigo mío... aún así entiendo que deban estar en DO.
Un saludo!
