The duality in all my life or “He's gonna make it out! He's gotta make it out! “*

Alright, I wanted to speed up my pace and blog more often, so I better do so now, because it's already been 4 days since the last. Another short thing because it distracts a lot of people. The headlines are always followed by an alternative headline starting with “or ...”. These are lines out of songs that represent my mood at the moment. So if you want to figure out, just listen to the song.

Anyway, I also wanted to post something on duality. Well, I found something on duality in beauty as a conceptuality, but that's fairly dry theory and I don't want to bore you that much. Actually, you can find duality in all kinds of things that my project is relating to concept wise. Grotesque represents more or less duality/ambivalence. Especially in its visual appearance. For example you have creatures being half bird, half snake. There's a whole lot to write about, but instead of making this postings text too long again, I will put some pictures underneath so you can get an impression.

The pictures are all out of a book (Chatel, 1997) that I name at the bottom of this post. I will not title/reference every image, and some have no title anyway. One last thing I would like to end this post with, an nice interpretation or describing of the grotesque. I can't quote it literally, but it basically was saying this: The grotesque has given shelter to thousands of little inventions, that not have a story.(Chatel, 1997, p40)

And because my pictures are so blurry her are two more found on wikipedia:
