Seven Gummi Sins
I was way behind on my on-line reading today, as I have been for most of the last week or two. This did, however, create quite a curious sensation of other-reality-ness as I caught up on some 300 or so items at Boing Boing. The most memorable was their link to a set of photographs called "The Seven Gummi Sins", by Wiedmaier.
They are odd, but curiously compelling and beautiful photographs. This is what attracts me, of course. It is a set of seven photographs, close up and in rich color, of Gummi Bears (one or more, as needed) posed allegorically, mostly between a pair of fingers, and illustrating the "Seven Deadly Sins".
It's a tough choice, but I think my favorite is the one illustrating "Envy": richly evocative, expressive through depth of field, and symbolic in its use of the green Gummi. This is the photo that Boing Boing included with their bit. However, the series makes its own impact as a collection, and I encourage a viewing. Fabulous.
