  i would like some of the drugs he was on to come up with the idea "I NEED TO MAKE A MASK. yeah a mask. ONE wher ei will stick BANANAS all over the outside like HELLRAISER. Then i will put a firecracker in each banana and blow each one up. It will be the best banana moment on film since it's cameo in Beverly Hills Cop!"

  I think it's ok. I think people will dismiss it as 'shite' if they don't get it, although there's probably little to 'get'.

  Agreed atkinson, I don't get it and I think its shite. But I feel very ambivalent to a lot of art and Im quite ignorant when it comes to discussing what I like or dislike, usually if I like something its hard for me to define just why I like it.

  i think its a introspective review of the human condition, expressing the artists desire to be understood while at the same time relaying what is wrong with his environment. By utilizing the simple banana as the catalyst for this expression, the mystique of the message remains protected. The depth of the work can only truly be examined once the realization of its true meaning is sort, and is then contrasted against the decaying human condition.

  The banana represents our soul, while the explosion represents expression. The mask itself can be read as a synonym for the side of us all which we shun from public in our day to day lives and the bbq lighter is supposed to represent God, however this may be interpreted differently depending on your religious upbringing.

  • or not.. its up to you

    that's a pretty nutty interpretation IMO– kuzzAAAAM2/2
