melancholic visual poetry

New York Times, Feb 4, 2000

Review entitled "Everyman tries to Save the Earth, One Image at a Time":

"He [Robert ParkeHarrison] comes down on the side of lamentation but expresses it with an unusual combination of poetic license, laboriously constructed props and a wry and melancholy, vaguely allusive sense of myth. He appears in every picture, in a black suit and white shirt with no tie, a kind of Everyman or a minor employee of the universe, patiently, dutifully doing a job that's too big for him. That job is essentially to take care of a devastated Earth with inadequate equipment. He works or performs obscure rituals in large and empty landscapes beneath gray skies. Perhaps this is one man's private way of saying that neither pollution, global warming nor digitalization can entirely extinguish the hands-on experience and human desire to create."

do yourself a favour and check these beautiful photos out. recommended listening while viewing: sigur ros / mum / mogwai.
