I have been there the first time back in 1988, and the beach never really changed. The people did; back in the days half of the women went topless, today less than 5 percent. But has it been better than today? Hard to say, I was young back then. If I were 23 again in 2018, I would find it cool today. Cause I never knew how cool it has been before my time. But I remember the 40 years old saying in 1988, how super cool it had been in the 70ies, with all those Hippies and no all-inclusive tourists...
OldSchool1500 nah mate, I was 23 last year in 2018, havn’t been to ibiza but I can say about people my age, there is no music, no dancing, just mdma and iphones/androids and everybody barely leaves their house anymore to go out, the 70s 80s and late eighties early 90s had the best music and times, from what I have read from people who went to the island in both the 87-93 period and the 70s, they were both good times but they liked the 70s even better . I can only speak from the experience of my lifetime; although the good music of the 90s like early 90s house/balearic/jungle died out by the late 90s, I think aquemini (1998) was one of the last good albums of the decade (but was hip hop), the party of the 90s continued well into the early and mid 2000s up until about 2006 was the last good year . the momentum from the post ww2 4/5 decade long party was so much, that even after the 07/08 financial crisis up until about 2014, times were still good, even though music had been dead for almost 10-20 years by that point . Than the millenials got disillusioned by the economy after the financial crisis and u know the rest . what im saying is, I think being 23 in 2003 in ibiza would have been awesome even though I think the commercialization would already be picking up compared to 93 or 73, but by 2013 the music was gone, it just wouldn’t be the same, but the last 5-10 years have really put mileage on the tread of the tire of culture, I’d say we’re all pretty much just the cultureless masses now, just looking back on videos like these through a mobile or computer screen, wishing you lived in a time when you could know the feeling of talking and knowing an actual human being, instead of just the cold digitilized print of a computer screen
I saw this very thing one week ago in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Do you have a photo of the actual apparatus? Your viewers might find it interesting
Examples of this artist's work are at present being exhibited in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The Black Box is a large wooden framework with sliding backgrounds built into it, rather like Japanese theater. It also contains movable cardboard cut-outs and video animation, charcoal sketches, sound-and-light, and other things I can only guess at. The audience sits on benches in a darkened room and watches the show through an opening the size of a medium television screen.
Amazing piece! I had the chance to see this, and it really must be seen in person. The video is mistitled, however. The real title of the piece is Black Box/Chambre Noire.
I did Kentridge at school because he is one of our country's foremost artists South-Africa) and man he blows me away every time I see some of his work !!!
Oh man... I'm glad this is up here but I just can't follow Kentridge when it isn't narrative at all. I need a character in there somewhere. Maybe I'm too dense?
