One of the pictures I did for the john lennon: in their own write book by Judith Furedi
I felt the challenge to do something with the IMAGINE mosaic and many of the images from the mosaic wound up in the book.
I arrived that morning with a ladder, a mirror, and a bunch of small objects that I could fit in a knapsack. Hopefully, I’d get some idea when I saw the word. This one didn’t end up in the book because I just had the idea this morning to flip it upside down. I like the idea, and could do a series of these. It’s more interesting what we make of it, then the thing itself.
I can imagine doing an interesting Warhol-like movie at the imagine mosaic. Just shoot one day at the circle. One full day. Something in the vein of the Empire State building movie, though maybe not as long and with license to shoot hand-held, or whatever you feel. You could do it easily with the 500D etc. dslr. The final cut would be about five minutes or so. Can’t really use Imagine song for obvious copyright reasons. I’m sure Lester could write something for it in a few minutes.
Also, doesn’t the woman with the sunglasses look like she has one of the old Beatle mop tops?
That’s not a woman. That’s Ringo in disguise.
Hey, I remember that day, schlepping the ladder, mirror, and a former student of mine around the park. I think she ended up in the book in the mirror. It all felt like a Fellini movie.
