Fecondity, a photo from Geneva, West

Photographer's Note

I’m not sure if we should call Freud to our rescue, but what can I say? I can see women, I can see tunnels, I can see light…and above all a very sensual like satin (or even silk) red texture. Hey, I’m just human, and as Luko says, this is when I feel as coming into action dressed in white and with a big tail… don't you?

another very nice your photo from that place, i like the symmetrical composition here very much, all the curves joining in the middle, beautiful colors - red tones and some blue, very aesthetic work Gal

A vision. A Stanley Kubrick's vision. It really hits me with its simplicity, power, composition and sensuality.
Great, great great shot. I really admire this.

Very pleasing composition and colour.

dolin (7369) 2005-10-11 15:38

Décidemment si tu continues comme ca j'aurais plus de place dans mes favorites....et une de plus ;)
Salut Gal.
Ben dis donc, ca t'a inspiré cet endroit.
Ici ce que j'adore c'est ces bordeau-rouges....epoustouflants et la texture et superbe, beaux détails.
Très bonne symétrie et ces 2 personnes apportent évidemment LA touche supplémentaire...et nécessaire.
Chouettes aussi ces 2 "tches" bleues qui viennent donner une touche colorée différente....on dirait 2 yeux !
Bravo, c'est magnifique

What a scary giant spider waiting to devour innocent children, is that ok for today mr. psychiatrist?
I can see that this exhibiton must have been a photographers feast, flowing shapes, weird colours and a concentrated space with no ouside noise. You used this opportunity weel for some exciting photographs.

elihesamian (26149) 2005-10-11 15:41

WOHH!
What a strong graphical work! Gal !
A great abstract,too,with a fine symmetry and wonderful attractive color tonalities,a particular and strange atmosphere,...
In a best way captured and worked and you managed the composition here nicely,I enjoy this a lot,
Favorite?
Yes:)
Best to You

eleparc (24063) 2005-10-11 15:45

c'est vraiment génial ! on dirait des images 70's de science fiction...belle symétrie! et oui un peu de "tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir..."de Woody allen...haha!

Wow Gal, superb! Fantastic graphical appearance and indeed very sensual colours textures and shapes. It makes us wonder what creature will crawl out of the gloomy tunnels... Absolutely marvellous!

Salut Gal,
Moi elle me fait peur cette photo car j'ai l'impression de voir deux énormes yeux d'une bet qui aspire les gentils humains!
Incroyable cet effet...
Superbe photo!
Bravo..
Alex

toni_al (15875) 2005-10-11 16:32

Salut Gal
Encore une magnifique image de cet endroit etonnant. très bonne composition.

Last shot you claimed it was over for you and now calling for twins?

Don't know if you've ever seen it but I find the aesthetics are now balancing towards "Zardoz", a very strange intellectual sci-fi fantasy from the 70's starring Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling.

Interesting film about a cast of bored eternals dominating a world of barbarians with the help of a flying head that looks like Zeus and a god named Zardoz. The eternals have time but also boredom, while the barbarians live brutally with all the flesh and sex it implies. In the end, we discover Zardoz domination is in fact a child tale coming from the "Wizard of Oz"... Man, they had such weird movies in the 70's...

Of course like all the empires, their fall came from the inside. It looks like the ladies are ready and waiting for the fall of their world and the barbarians to come in.

ElSato (824) 2005-10-11 22:58

Gal,

Really beautiful and wonderfully original!

I have to agree with Stefano on this one: this is clear Kubrick territory, especially from "A Clockwork Orange," with its slightly shabby futurism where just about everything is sexualized.

On the other hand Luko may be right as well. I've been meaning to see Zardoz for years now and have never quite gotten around to it.

I must say, I love the combination of the very sheer, sensual fabric and the hard, cracked-looking surface above. And what are we to make of those holes??? Paging Dr. Freud! Dr. Freud to TE please!

And what EXACTLY are these two people doing in here? Not to mention, what are they intended to do?

Lee

P.S. A very appropriate title, and much more original than many people would have thought of... I'd give extra points for that if I was allowed to.

maphoto (8082) 2005-10-11 23:13

Superbe prise Gal, un rouge formidable et une ambiance extra, beaucoup d'imagination, j'aime bien. La symétrie est également fantastique, les deux personnes ajoutent un élément fort appréciable à la scène, bon travail.

cessy (13647) 2005-10-12 3:05

excellent angle and very nice symmetry, Gal
you captured the ambiance very well
felicitation

Luan (12971) 2005-10-12 3:33

Hello Gal,
Un titre genial avec une note qui illustre parfaitement l'esprit de ta compo. C'est tres joli, cette belle symetrie, ce rouge, cette chaleur, je me croirais dans le ventre de ma mere ;o°
Bien vu
Luan

eco (112) 2005-10-12 3:52

Hi Gal

I like this cooloring and place, fantastic scene, very intresting view, good perspective and composition too, fantastic shot, best regards, rafal

bibiweb (8) 2005-10-12 4:23

Salut Gal,
C'est marrant parce que toi, tu as fait photos plutôt monochromes alors que moi j'ai surtout essayé de faire ressortir le mélanges de couleurs!
Ton image est très sobre. J'aime bien cette symétrie, surtout avec les deux persones assises de part et d'autre. Une ambiance très zen.
Amicalement, Brigitte

AmiBe (6042) 2005-10-12 4:36

Mais que c'est bon !!!!
Et une favorite de plus !
Je vois 2 gros yeux menaçants.
Très science-fiction cette expo, j'adore !
Tes images de l'endroit sont excellentes.

athos99 (6894) 2005-10-12 5:14

Salut Gal
C’est endroit parait génial et très photogénique.
C’est vrai que ces formes ovoïdes sont très sensuelles et peuvent évoquer plusieurs choses.
J’aime cette couleur rouge, les personnages, les jeux de lumière et la symétrie parfaite

jiherka (4552) 2005-10-12 7:33

Another dual shot ( with bibiweb) of the same thing but with two points of view and two different pictures. It is the time of duos in TE, like didi and jrj?
This is a funny place regarding your pictures.

Well done BGal and Brigitte.

designsoul (17843) 2005-10-12 9:51

Hello Gal,
I love this primal image, and laugh at your note, wonderful eye, the whole image emanates sensuousness with these rich velvety deep colours,
wonderful composition, with the children making symmetry even more symmetrical and interesting
Powerful work,
Sarolta

RGatward (20108) 2005-10-12 10:00

Certainly worth anothe view of this exhibition, nothing to add to all the well deserved praise here.

Zepi (22848) 2005-10-12 13:29

Salut Gal,
Magnifique teintes,superbe exposition !
J’adore cette symétrie, tu as l’œil mon ami, et le bon !!!
Fantastique composition
J’en redemande !!!
Super travail
Merci pour le partage
A++
Sébastien

Philippe (11836) 2005-10-12 16:47

Très bonne composition avec un parfait équilibre entre les deux parties de la photo. Si on n'y regarde pas de trop près, on pourrait presque croirte que les deux dames sont des jumelles. La gestion de la lumière est aussi excellente. Du grand art!

fixed (3836) 2005-10-12 17:06

bonsoir Gal
une très belle photo
à la fois douce et dure
très belle géométrie
très esthétique !
bravo
Arnaud

Isabelle (9046) 2005-10-12 17:38

in this not reliable monitor of mine this deep dark red is just fabulous, Gal, and the passages look more like veins to me.
what a great opportunity for photographers!

fireflyz (2097) 2005-10-13 19:39

Hi Gal,
This reminds of the painting psychiatrists show to their patients and ask them what they see. I can't tell you what I see except they are nice ;)
I like the perfect symmetry, and like everyone else, the shapes and colors presented in this smooth and silky texture.
Cheers,
Skye

yeah (213) 2005-10-14 7:24

Hello Gal,
the most interesting picture I have ever seen. I like the colors and symmetrical graphic here. It is also like, two woman are sleeping on top part of an otopus like in the cartoons. Could you please tell me what kind of place and what are they doing????

partha (14023) 2005-10-17 14:26

Good symmetrical shot. Well done.

alejandroguzman (4684) 2005-10-18 4:08

a SUPERB picture Gal !!!

Amazing perspective of this place.

hugs
alejandro

ALSOM (6616) 2005-10-18 5:07

Je trouve cette photo très hypnotique de par ces 2 orifices pointées d'un bleu pénétrant.

Oui on se laisserai bien aller comme ces 2 personnes et ... sur le divan et racontez moi votre enfance ...
Merci,
Al.

gaby (19819) 2005-10-18 15:12

Gal bonsoir - j'aime beaucoup tant ta photo que ta note (et je partage ton feeling) - la symétrie et les tons sont supers -
Merci et bonne soirée
Gaby

oochappan (4880) 2005-10-18 20:45

Indeed a remarkable place to get these shots full of light gradiants and curves, well chosen symmetrie in this one.

jcandeli (40) 2005-10-25 15:31

Inspiring! I love the colors and lighting. The composition is great as well. beautiful photo. JP

MON (135) 2005-12-05 11:17

Excellent composition and nice colours with a great lighting. You get a perfect shot where you show very well the peace of the place.
Congratulations!.

mikee (2354) 2006-02-01 23:22

Another great photo, Gal. I like the symmetry of it. Funny note as well :D The atmosphere is unusual, alien like. Well done.

Regards,

Mike

yanseiler (20) 2006-05-16 16:08

Hello Gal, superbe symétrie dans cette image, on dirait que tu as utilisé un miroir, on dirait être à l'intérieur d'un nez, très bon.
Yan

marknunnerley (2780) 2007-01-13 15:14

Gal,
this grabbed me in your intro because of it's colours and composition. It's a bit like an alien birth if you know what I mean. Obviously a great pov and comp. Sorry for that but it is :) Like your work.
br,
Mark

coco (30439) 2009-03-03 0:06

Hi Ga.

Very nice work with the light and especially with a good composition and strong graphism.

Well done.
