Leaves Tourists, Travellers and the concept of the Reverse Cretivity

With this posting I'm going to do something that any artist should never do.
Unveiling what lies behind his work, openly disseminate the message, in short, naked.
A mystery is important for a work of art. Your message should be worth to be decrypted, it is often the efforts are, the greater the satisfaction that one gets. A famous director about his film said: "If I wanted to just send a message, I sent a telegram." He meant that in a film is not only important to the message. Texture, Script, photography have a duty to make the valid message to be accepted, and never boring. It 'obvious that it is not always so and indeed in many cases it is the immediacy of the force more effective than work. In photojournalism it almost always is. I can think of some famous photos taken in war zones. The face of a crying baby is a trivial example of how an image can hit you hard at first glance, telling you much without the stress (or pleasure?) Dell'elucubrazione.
For me every time I write a poem I never think that it needs to be immediately comprehensible to a reader. Why did not I think of any possible reader when I write. I write because it comes out by itself. It 's a birth, a process that could be called "Auto-Socratic." But on this return later.
The image I wanted to talk about is "Tourists and Wayfarer." Ie "Tourists and travelers."

I've taken on a bad day of November to the Park. I was looking for some nice picture when I came across an exhibition of works of art in the open. Honestly, and for what it's worth my opinion, the series of sculptures was a truly exceptional ugliness, all, without exception. So I made up his mind to try to capture through photography the images to achieve it make them look beautiful. Some of these photos ended up in the portfolio "The park and the snow and maybe someone will tell me if I have succeeded. The day was gloomy, and unable to count on the beautiful colors I opted for the black and white. I trod very clipping (ie the elimination of half-tones) because I seemed to give effect 'transcendent' image, crystallized a fragment of another time fell in this time and in this place.

As I said, entitled "Tourists and travelers."

Tourists are the statues. The Wayfarer is the guy on a bike. Both of the others have wheels. But the tourists are all the same and all look the same direction. In front of you. The Wayfarer is out of the scheme and look somewhere else. Really see the landscape. And it is the only one that ultimately seems forward to really move. There is behind this. This small criticism of the dominant mode of travel today. Where have all moving in formation watching what they are told to see. E 'as a singular message to think of it, for a photo taken at the park in winter, with the intent to make it look beautiful in the ugly sculptures. But the strangest thing is that when I took did not know .. I did not know the message behind it. I found out when I tried to give him a title. It is short, that I am the author I had to decrypt the message as if I were a spectator. With poetry I write is often the same thing before I write .. in some cases, as I said in a long time ago, the vomiting on the sheet. Then, after that, I realize what I meant, what I was saying. But if the message comes after the writing of the work then maybe the artist does not lose the rights to that work? I mean, is not affected his ability to build something?

I think not. I think not. The discussion is complex because it is probing the unconscious. I call this kind of thing "Reverse Creativity" in homage to "Reverse Engineering" ie able to manipulate and analyze the software from the final machine code without source. Creativity in reverse. Fascinating concept in my opinion.
