The Barfer @ “stop making sense”

Priv-ulic photograph by Clyde D’mello aka BARF THOUGHT

Explanation

A photograph taken on any bus on the way to some place that leads from position A to B in between A & B is A1/ B1, here the city echo’s history (think that A and B are the outskirts) and the dystopia-the photograph is a representation of the city and all that happens within on the other hand the bus system for Bangalore is like the back bone of this city like the trains of Bombay (or so they say).

Another explanation

-what people do in private is shown in the public openly, B grade movies is what some people watch in private, here the posters of the some movies are put in public. This bus stop also represents the behaved- misbehaved public drawing the line and in between is a point – the bus stop- to show case the private-public- PRIV-ULIC

An obsolete introduction

“I dislike allegory- the conscious and intentional allegory- yet any attempt to explain the purport of myth or fairytale must use allegorical language (and of course the more life a story has the more readily will it be susceptible of allegorical interpretations while the better deliberate allegory is made the more nearly it will be acceptable as a story… Fall, mortality, and the creative (or should I say the sub- creator) desire which seems to here no biological function, and to be apart from satisfaction of plain ordinary biological life, with which in our world is indeed usually at strife. This desire is at once wedded to a passionate love of the primary world,and has hence filled with sense of mortality, and yet unsatisfied by it. It has various opportunities of “fall” – it may be become possessive clinging to this made as its own,the sub- creator wishes to be the Lord and God of his private creation. He will rebel against the laws of the creator- especially against mortality. Both these alone will lead to the desire of power, for making the will more quickly effective- and so to the machine (Magic).”
