People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It’s scary to think so much is out of one’s control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn’t, and you lose.</p>http://www.taumazo.com/post/50103644337http://www.taumazo.com/post/50103644337Fri, 10 May 2013 21:00:39 +0200woody allenfilmthink<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c2d6b0fd5b79089d2f3cb0be6ae9ab84/tumblr_mlwefqUaLd1rpri2zo1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3a756788080fa9acd3eb62b3a64b1fe9/tumblr_mlwefqUaLd1rpri2zo3_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fb9a4aacbb150c81105d9580c3d76fdb/tumblr_mlwefqUaLd1rpri2zo2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1066ffac78820c5ff32800849e4dc399/tumblr_mlwefqUaLd1rpri2zo4_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8dca6e6911077d2ac719b85ce0b6e6f9/tumblr_mlwefqUaLd1rpri2zo5_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cf43da7d9e3422cfea2b2109cc0b41f5/tumblr_mlwefqUaLd1rpri2zo6_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/004789463a4b50a707f0fb471e728e04/tumblr_mlwefqUaLd1rpri2zo7_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e2b1d4f2dc6a468e8d6c1182b3ff91ae/tumblr_mlwefqUaLd1rpri2zo8_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0afa6392de26a1b8eba915e119cd443f/tumblr_mlwefqUaLd1rpri2zo9_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Guy Batey</strong></p> <p>photographs from the series <em>The Melancholy of Objects</em>, 2008-09</p> <p>scanned color negatives</p> <p><em>200903-03-04, <span class="lightbox-meta-title" id="yui_3_7_3_3_1367038952291_1730"><span class="lightbox-meta-title-link">200902-03-01, </span></span><span class="lightbox-meta-title" id="yui_3_7_3_3_1367038952291_1879"><span class="lightbox-meta-title-link">200902-01-08, </span></span><span class="lightbox-meta-title" id="yui_3_7_3_3_1367038952291_1914"><span class="lightbox-meta-title-link">200902-01-01, </span></span><span class="lightbox-meta-title" id="yui_3_7_3_3_1367038952291_1947"><span class="lightbox-meta-title-link">200812-02-07, </span></span><span class="lightbox-meta-title" id="yui_3_7_3_3_1367038952291_1981"><span class="lightbox-meta-title-link">200811-03-03, </span></span><span class="lightbox-meta-title" id="yui_3_7_3_3_1367038952291_2021"><span class="lightbox-meta-title-link">200811-01-04, </span></span><span class="lightbox-meta-title" id="yui_3_7_3_3_1367038952291_2039"><span class="lightbox-meta-title-link">200809-01-02, </span></span><span class="lightbox-meta-title" id="yui_3_7_3_3_1367038952291_2055"><span class="lightbox-meta-title-link">200807-04-03</span></span></em></p>http://www.taumazo.com/post/50027202381http://www.taumazo.com/post/50027202381Thu, 09 May 2013 21:00:39 +0200photographythinkcontemporary art<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0d9e5f4bd6bb9b3b73836807d322a8b2/tumblr_mlx84ll7cp1rwxo6zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Federico Maddalozzo, </span><span>“Maybe #5” (uncoated), 2006</span></p>http://www.taumazo.com/post/49948492566http://www.taumazo.com/post/49948492566Wed, 08 May 2013 21:00:42 +0200colorsinstallation<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m89km2qdJf1r6g7k5o1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m89km2qdJf1r6g7k5o2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m89km2qdJf1r6g7k5o3_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p>FIRE BALL</p> <p>Do not try this at home :-) </p>http://www.taumazo.com/post/49869662110http://www.taumazo.com/post/49869662110Tue, 07 May 2013 21:00:19 +0200video<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/901eb4573a7f1dc76fab47ac02f7c81f/tumblr_mlwmsgL6J71qzg58bo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>Untitled.</em> 2001 (<a href="http://mischiefandmadness.blogspot.de/2011/07/goodbye-cy-twombly.html" target="_blank">Cy Twombly</a>)</p>http://www.taumazo.com/post/49789580076http://www.taumazo.com/post/49789580076Mon, 06 May 2013 21:00:20 +0200contemporary artpainting
