Followed by Wonder

by artist Emma Holm. 

Rooted within Taoism you find the belief that everything inhabits both feminine and masculine qualities to be balanced – an imbalance between the two will cause a disturbance.

Nonetheless, this peculiar specie seemed to be separating the two into either ≠ or. Old yet relevant anthropological studies of diverse tribes support this Anthropologist in her observations. Especially one study came to her attention as it describe disturbance between the two: as a jealousy of the masculine qualities not possessing the magic of the feminine power to create life. To level out, man creates culture as a domestic substitute to the magic of life. Being human the feminine power adjust to the masculine qualities and overtime inhabit a belief that the feminine qualities are animalistic and of lesser value then the cultural powers man has brought to nature…

Bourdieu would refer to this as capital stuffed into a backpack – eternally there for good use or no use at all.

Before going all doomsday blue she reminded herself of the origin of Guerilla Art was based on an old Japanese tradition of embracing wild nature by seed-bombing. By concept the tradition had been adopted as an act of civil rebellion upon the potential of: beautifying or recreating the soulless non-places – and by doing so, potentially causing a ripple effect.
