Mobile Photography & Art Flickr Group Showcase – 23 July 2017
“The desire for security and the feeling of insecurity are the same thing. To hold your breath is to lose your breath. A society based on the quest for security is nothing but a breath-retention contest in which everyone is as taut as a drum and as purple as a beet“, as said by Alan Watts in his book ‘An Antidote to the Age of Anxiety’. As we are drawn to this weeks mobile photography and art showcase, we witness artists’ security and their insecurities. Essentially, in this world, there is no security and yet we are all guilty for trying to grasp at it. Our anxieties are linked to our tendency to live for the future and the more we pursue it, the faster it flees from us. As Henry Miller once said, “It is almost banal to say so yet it needs to be stressed continually: all is creation, all is change, all is flux, all is metamorphosis” and this is so true and by viewing this weeks showcase, these words bring deeper awareness to our present experience. View it without judgement, evaluation or measurement of any kind. This weeks showcase is markedly magnificent and existentially paramount for all of its entirety. Enjoy!
