Your thought's on this photo banned on Facebook by Erik Ravelo – Los Intocables (The Untouchables)

a couple im not sure I catch...

Do you find it offensive?

Do you think it is exploitation?

It sure is thought provoking.

Dumb.

definitely thought provoking

The message?

"In it the artist denounces the death of millions of children, victims of armed conflict, the irresponsible use of chemical, radioactive, or substances that cause disease, medical malpractice or forgotten ethics, pedophilia, child pornography, or heartless business practices of the multinationals that junk food poisoned, a modern type of modern violence, subtle and silent kills the body of a few, and sick soul."

"En ella el artista denuncia la muerte de millones de niños, víctimas de conflictos armados, del uso irresponsable de químicos, radioactivos, o sustancias que producen enfermedades, de la negligencia médica o la olvidada ética, de la pedofilia, la pornografía infantil, o las desalmadas prácticas comerciales de las transnacionales que los envenenan con comida chatarra; un moderno tipo de violencia moderna, sutil y silenciosa que mata el cuerpo de a pocos, y enferma el alma."

I think it is great, and thought provoking. I can see why some people might be a little offended by the catholic preist, so that was likely why it was removed, but that is art. It ismeant to stir.

interesting, mcdonalds kid is fat and dying

the tourist has a underage girl (prostitution)

pedo priest has a young boy ofcourse

shooter in red is killing children

us military outfit guy killing an middle easterner

doctor in blue with the frozen organ transport bucket harvesting the kid


a lot of truth, but its not overt, not sure why they would ban it, implications shouldnt lead to banning

No its scapegoat cherry picking

great art.

Shooter in red, with girl in school uniform, I think signifies school shootings, Columbine, Sandy hook, etc...

Guy with camera, child pornography.

There is another one that is missing, guy in hazmat/radiation gear with a sickly child that has lost hair due to radiation,

Interesting talent.

"Yeah, so I was on the bus yesterday on my way to work when I overheard a conversation between two college students. They must have been freshman as they were mulling over their choices for majors. The one guy said 'I'm definitely down with poly psy man, how bout you? You decide yet?' And he said, 'Yep, I've thought about it a lot over the break, and I am on board with scapegoat cherry picking!'"

Well I'm glad somebody was able to dissect it, cos to me it just looked a bit stupid.

But now you said that, I do think you probably hit on the intended message.

But why can't the makers of such...cough...'art' just provide some kind of explanation in the first place?


As you can probably tell, I've never been much of an 'art' lover. Nor a lover of poetry, for that matter. I leave the appreciation and explanation of these kinds of things to others.
