| [Inexplicable images from generations ago invite us to restore the lost
sense of immediacy. We follow the founder of the Theater of
Spontaneity, Jacob Moreno, who proposed stringing together "now and then
flashes" to unfetter illusion and let imagination run free. The images
we have collected for this series came at a tremendous price, which we explained previously.] |

"Watching the skittle players," from In the Ardennes by Katharine Sarah Macquoid, 1881.
Interestingly, we sent this image to a games aficionado, but he wasn't convinced that the pig was truly spectating skittles players. He felt that the pig's expression was inscrutable, and the so-called skittle players are out-of-frame. Yet the caption tells us what we're seeing; "case closed" as far as we're concerned. To paraphrase René Magritte, this is not a pig, anyway. If we can't roll with it, we'll never knock down any pins. |
