Brits were obliged to see a sanitized version due to the fearless intervention of a woman with enormous teeth, who believes she has a duty to shield Brits from photos of which she dissaproves …

NEZTNAR REHTSE
REHTSE

As a piece of art it is meant to depict & invoke a reaction from the viewer. As with all good art that reaction is individual and could be a mix of empathy, shock, embarassment, curiosity, fear and a feeling of helplessness. Which is probably some of what she has felt as a sufferer of epilepsy. In fact the public are already feeling some of these emotions without having seen it. It will be out of the comfort zone of many and I suspect that is the aim.

Perhaps she sees it as her right to have a (temporary) release from the dependency of the medication & let the audience share in the experience rather than it be hidden as something too uncomfortable for us so called 'able' bodied to cope with.

No, not exactly.

It is a bit shit.

Much like most folk that get tattos. That is pretty stupid too.

Along with piercing and shit.

But what the hell do I know.?

Dangerous, and interesting. same as tight rope walking. A friend of mine used to do a show worldwide nailing his fore skin and the skin of his balls to a piece of wood and crucifying himself. Was he / is he suffering from some sort of condition? I would guess so. There is an honourable tradition of brave souls who push the extremes in art isn't there.

Thanks.

Though I doubt it was deliberate. That is not how Sunny runs this web site.

I suspect the aforementioned SNAFU.

Can I just say thanks for listening to me? You have set my mind at rest.

Nope, nowhere to comment. It ain't just you. Thread must be closed, probably just as well.

If you know me, you'll know I don't back down either. Unless, of course the technology lets me down.

Which, I suspect, is what has happened.

And I completely agree with you about the new commenting system. It doesn't appear to work. Hence Graham getting the last word..

Which is a bit shit.

Can you comment on that thread? It's the one headed:

Digging deeper into a hole of stupidity

I am just interested. I have no idea what the outcome might be.

I had a boyfriend who was epileptic and of course if he had a fit, I'd be doing what I could to help him, trying to get him out of the way of things that might hurt him. He had a fit once on a step and broke a couple of ribs. I can't say I'd want to view this kind of thing as an artwork. If I knew someone was acting it, it would be different.

Douglas – leaving Graham with the last word is the human condition. He never gives up nor backs down.

Have I mentioned that this new commenting system is a bit annoying? I liked the old one better.

There are enormous faults with this system. Sometimes it holds my details, and sometimes it doesn't. This, for instance, was my second attempt to reply to you. First time around I was Mr Anonymous. If it was consistent, then that'd be OK.

But finding you can't post on a thread you'd like to, because you suspect it is a technological SNAFU, is quote annoying.

You try it. Can you post to the thread headed:

Digging deeper into a hole of stupidity

I'd be interested in your reply. It might get us nearer an explanation.

I am not completely mad, despite what Graham says….

Its turning to an obsession, heed my advice please.

As you appear to be on-line, can I ask you why I am prohibited from taking Graham to task?

It seems to me that I am being restricted, either because you guys think I should be or because of some technical glitch. I'd like to know which it is.

On that thread, and on that thread only, there is nowhere for me to comment.

Anyway, enough off topic stuff.

Good piece Sarah. The artist is brave and it is her choice, but if she sought my advice, I would say don't do it.

What does the BMA say about this; THEIR opinion would be worth knowing!
