Encombre

Encombre #2 Continued /  by Justin Harrison

Encombre #2 broken landscapes. With an odd, but makes sense to me reference to the movie the Joker, (previously touched upon in a blog on the 13th of October)

It’s the colours the stark muted tones dropping to black, but punctuated by a stark vibrant and synthetic yellow. In the movie it jars along with the narrative.

In the street images the yellow road markings sit incongruous, whilst a greater drama ensues. One of transformation in what has become a liminal place, or perhaps a liminal moment>>>

Encombre 2 /  by Justin Harrison

I saw a connection to the enviscerated horses in the movies and the sofa cast aside - partially dismantled. There is something I find unsettling in the brash colour a synthetic fleshly pink mixed with the violent disgorging of springs and struts. Layers of fabric folded back like fat and skin. Struts as bones splintered. Left sprawled, undignified in the street.

Yet how is an old sofa a dead horse?

Sacrificed in its death for another.

Another roadside victim, like a roadkill fox cast to the curb.
