That escalated quickly.

It is about rape, so yeah. The telling of trauma is intentional.

[–] banghida@lemm.ee 66 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh ok, I see it now. It seemed abstract at first glance.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Totally. It is a bit abstract, or perhaps Dada or Surrealism inspired. It could be said that trauma is baked into those movements.

Sometimes to properly show the horrors of the real you have to leave the real behind

Yeah, history and art don't repeat themselves, contemporaries rhyme with the past.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's considered surrealist by which ever groups of Art History PhDs who decide these things

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Makes sense.

I read it as about menstruation

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Interesting. The sexual assault reading comes from the artist.

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My first look was similar. But after reading the comments and looking again, it became more obvious to be about rape.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's what I said, in the comments.

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm agreeing with you.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Sorry, I misinterpreted your comment. Cheers.

[–] breakfastburrito@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

Oh interesting. I definitely see that now. I thought it was “passion according to gh”

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 58 points 10 months ago (20 children)

I hate that I could tell what it was about without looking at the comments :/

Seems like a good depiction of what it's like to be forced to carry your rapist's baby

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 13 points 10 months ago

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 10 points 10 months ago

It's interesting how the first and final frames have similar poses.
