Hidden Workings of our Minds

Do we really know what's going on while we're creating? Why do solutions come to us? How do they come? Jeremy Dean, from PsyBlog, talks about the unconsciousness of our creative processes. His blog post can be found here.

Also, I recommend exploring the PsyBlog. There are some very nice posts there.

Pink Floyd's The Wall (cinema)

The Wall (movie, 1982) is the full development of Pink Floyd's The Wall (album, 1979). The movie is a result of the thoughts of Roger Waters (PF bassist at the time), Alan Parker (director) and Gerald Scarfe (cartoonist) combined. It's 84 minutes long.

Why should it matter?
The Wall is about society imposing consecutive stings of pain on individuals. As a result of painful events, Pink - the main character - isolates himself behind a barrier, inside the Wall. Mixing isolation, frustration, alienation, cyclic aspect of life, corruption and redemption, The Wall is one of the most well-written modern artworks.

Bret Urick has written the most famous analysis for the The Wall movie in his site, The Wall Analysis. Many suggestions and additions have been made since he originally posted his analysis, completing what's probably the most comprehensive (and larger!) analysis for the movie.

Here it is the movie online on Imeem.

Matrix
Stay

Welcome

Welcome to The Inner Breath, a blog about artworks concerning psychologic events, feelings and related subjects. This is a space to help us all to understand human beings, by trying to get the spotlights off artworks and turn them to real people. I hope you enjoy the posts.
