Description


"When the cold winds blow and the Yule fires are lit, from the north of Scandinavia down to Austria, it is best to stay indoors, safely shut away from the dark forest paths and the wild heaths. Those who wander out by themselves during the Yule-nights may hear a sudden rustling through the tops of the trees -- a rustling that might be the wind, though the rest of the wood is still. But then the barking of dogs fills the air, with the hunters behind whooping "Wod! Wod!" a man's voice cries from above,and the host of wild souls sweeps down." The myth of the Wild Hunt can be seen in many countries, and exists in Scandinavia, England, Scotland, Iceland, Germany Swizerland and Austria. Only the name of the leader of the Hunt varies from place to place: Perchta, Hulda, Diane, Arthur, Odin, Lady Abonde, Satan. The image was done with Vue4 and Vue5 infinite. First i set up the whole scene with Vue 4 and rendered this. (a colour picture and an alpha plane) Then I deleted Horses and Hunters and saved this for use with Vue5. After loading again with Vue5 Infinite, I created the Eco-Plants and rendered this version. In the last step, I merged both Images together to this one with Photoshop. Unfortunately, Vue5 has rendered the picture much brighter. Thus I had to "darken" the Vue5 picture with photoshop. THX for peeking and be careful if you walk outdoors in this time. HOOOO HOOO !!!!

Gets my vote! Very dramatic and certainly wild. Reminds me of a very old U.S. popular song "Ghost Riders in the Sky". "Cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride." "Trying to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skys." Moralistic like most American stuff, lol. I guess that tale is widespread. And now even more so :o)

This is the picture of our society, a place were every culture is united in one. We live in a world following a lider that takes us to a unknown place, yet blindly we follow him with the uncertainty of a brighter future. We forget all we want to forget of the past and we take with us only what we think that matters for us.

Essa imagem tem diversas interpretaes posseis. Os cavaleiros que caminham em grupo podem representar o presente e est caminhando em direo ao futuro e a parte de baixo da imagem seria o passado, que eles conseguiram superar e passar por cima. O tom azulado da imagem nos traz a impress de que noite, o que nos remete mais uma vez solid e ao vazio. interessante notar tamb que o primeiro cavaleiro da esquerda o ico humano. Os outros s todos representaes mitolicas. Tem uma grande profundidade de campo, assim como as outras imagens. uma representao muito bem feita e muito bonita.

a imagem representa a sociedade, sua estrutura( representado pelas rochas) e seu vazio(representado pelos buracos). A parte da frente da imagem se apresenta mais nida que a do fundo. A imagem mostra uma vista geral da sociedade.

A imagem cria uma falsa ilus de conjunto do homem.O homem como ser faltante tente a se agrupar (assim como elefantes se agrupam em manadas e abelhas em colmas, mas ao homem n depende sa uma quest de sobrevivcia)com argumentos ilusios de identificao.Logo se nota que cada cavaleiro tem seu traje diferenciado.Diferentes culturas, diferentes hitos, diferentes pessoas.Somos parte de n mesmos e teremos fim lugar nenhum.Atmesmo quando morremos temos a necessidade de nos agrupar, dasurge a consepo de cemitio, que antes por praticidade, hoje por solid perante a incompletude eterna do ser humano.A ilus de que ele consegue se agrupar transpassada como noa, parecendo uma vivcia constantemente onica e desejante deste ser, mas, por sua vez, condicional a nunca se completar.As cores frias fazem analogia a morte(que n necessariamente precisa ser fica, mas, ap uma reflex, ser a morte de uma opini ao acolhimento de outra) e os tons pasts d o ar misterioso da tranquilidade obscura e desconhecida.O mito e a fantasia ficam por conta dos cavalos que cena flutuam, e seus cavaleiros, que s representados por estas figuras um tanto quanto zoomficas e andrenas.

O passado e o futuro se misturam nesta imagem, o passado pelo cemitio e o futuro pelas pessoas (jovens) que v rumo ao novo. A mistura de vias ras representa a globalizao e o homem que vai na frente (aparenteento mais civilizado que os outros) nos remete necessidade humana em ter algu a nossa frente para nos proteger, nos guiar e ser nosso ler.

A representao desta figura para mim muito clara: mostra a constante luta dos homens com a morte, a denominao hunt, ou seja, ca remete eterna procura dos homens pelo real sentido da vida, enquanto correm o mimo que podem para ficarem longe da morte, representada apelo cemitio. A iluminao desta figura interessantsima, uma vez que vem de baixo, podendo significar que o ico sentido pra vida justamente a morte.
