chilling

I received this video from my good friend Wonders

this was his own description of the scene

That short clip was from a room in one of the galleries at an exhibit of contemporary art from the middle east: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/unveiled/
It supposed to be women praying...they are immaculately shaped out of foil. Some bowing some upright - caught in a moment. When you get in the room (when less people are there) and you see "them" from the back there is a moment that resonate, then as you walk along, something happens. I tied to capture that.

I asked for more clarifications, so he sent the following

(it is mainly the exhibitor's describtion of the visual, aesthetic, and moral? meaning of the scene)

this is what Wonders sent:

About that video, it's one of the gallery rooms of a bigger exhibit, but this is what it's been described as:
"In Ghost, a large installation of a group of Muslim women in prayer, Attia renders their bodies as vacant shells, empty hoods devoid of personhood or spirit. Made from tin foil - a domestic, throw away material - Attia's figures become alien and futuristic, synthesising the abject and divine. Bowing in shimmering meditation, their ritual is equally seductive and hollow, questioning modern ideologies - from religion to nationalism and consumerism - in relation to individual identity, social perception, devotion and exclusion. Attia's Ghost evokes contemplation of the human condition as vulnerable and mortal; his impoverished materials suggest alternative histories or understandings of the world, manifest in individual and temporal experience."

I think that description is a bit harsh, and as any good art it'll be judged by who sees/experience it.

what do you think?

and Wonders dear, you need to try your hand at serious creative writing
