ewwwboys:Emma Kisiel’s At Rest series confronts our fears of death, particularly looking at the dead. She photographs road kill (never moving or posing the animals) surrounded by a makeshift grave. “By surrounding the subject with living and fake flowers and stone markers, I elevate the often ignored and overlooked dead animal to the level of a human being and impart the beautiful grace of their fallen bodies,” the artist states. “My photographs convey the sublime, the grotesque, and the lure of the macabre; we can hardly bear the visual of death, yet we cannot tear our eyes away.” Animals in various states of decay arouse a spectrum of emotions. Some images may be difficult to look at, but the series is worth your time. (x) -- source link
