Death

 





















Remember Amadeus, the film? Who doesn't?

At the last section of the film, Mozart is ordered to make an opus for a man in black who has no face. He comes, gives him coins and wants him to do a great job, a requiem mass. The man has an appearance as Don Giovanni in IL dissoluto punito, ossia IL Don Giovanni.

The man believes Mozart’s Don Giovanni is a visualization of Mozart’s father because Don is tough, strong, wrathful, fierce and dressed in black.

So the man wears like Don Giovanni to be known as the soul of Mozart’s dead father to our lunatic composer and through his unaware eyes. Mozart writes his own requiem mass, and dies in loneliness and fever.

And my collage; It’s a handmade collage made from my Amadeus DVD cover and a picture of an old Persian painting. This is my view of death; an irreversible invitation of a man in black, standing at the gate.

Bob Dylan has a song which in, there is a man with the long black coat who for me is the death itself. All of it makes me full of anguishes; People don't live or die, people just float. She went with the man in the long black coat.

Casanova / Desolation Row I

Casanova is one of the characters mentioned in "desolation row" the song and I illustrated it. This is the first frame;

Across the street they’ve nailed the curtains
They're getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
A perfect image of a priest
They're spoon-feeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
"Get Out of Here If You Don't Know
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row"

Here is me in the picture wearing Casanova costume and mask, all made by great artist Hamid Sadiqi from Ca' del Sol.
Casanova is the most wore costume in Carneval di Venezia (Carnival of Venice) and for many years it was the only costume, wearing during carnival for both men and women. Now, only men wear this.

Everybody knows Casanova for his art of seduction but if you are interested to read more, know that Casanova who Bob talks about is him.
You could hear the song here if you did not yet.

Invisible / Like A Rolling Stone V

You're invisible now. You got no secret to conceal...
How does it feel?

Newspaper

This was a photo, taken in five six years ago when I suddenly saw this building during kenitex coatings.
I found some kind of similarity between mine and one of the most seen pictures of young David Bowie.

Gone To Black

Inspired by Amy Winehouse significant song "Back To Black".

Next Meal / Like A Rolling Stone lV

"Now you don't seem so [so] proud
About having to be scrounging [around]
for your next meal..."

This LRS collection is just a try, telling a story meantime using famous phrases of a great song I love.
I'm not making them only by "meaning". Really I don't care that much to meaning.
Honestly I want to make some pictures inspired by original shapes of feelings, but picture and composition are the most important for me.
Meaning probably will come after and if it won't, no big deal.
