Morten Aagaard Krogh's Profile

"The 19th century German Romantic painters inspired me into my current and ongoing practice, particularly Casper David Friedrich. I was fascinated by his landscape paintings, the mood, light, compositional devices and the mystery surrounding each one. I initially started to create Friedrickesque images using photographs but 2 years on the influences from cinema directors including David Lynch, Ridly Scott and Roman Polanski, and in literature, Franz Kafka, J.G Ballard and Samuel Beckett have become more prevalent.

For example, in Kafka’s series of short observational writings called Meditations he writes about everyday situations but from a philosophical direction. In The Men Passing By, the inspiration for my Two Men Running, the narrator meditates on the vision of a man running down the street in the night. He imagines several scenarios involving the man and another man chasing him, leaving the reader to imagine these outcomes. This idea is now echoing Kafka’s musings and developing into One Frame Cinema images, a frame of an unmade film like the works of Gregory Crewdson."

"My photography is a reflection, which comes to life in action and leads to meditation. Spontaneity - the suspended moment - intervenes during action, in the viewfinder."

You'll want to check out the very pivotal John Szarkowski and how he almost singlehandedly influence the whole of Postmodern Photographic Art. Another individual worth seeking out the writings of would be Jeff Wall, a most lucid Canadian writer that has a very strong grasp on contemporary photographic history and has a wonderful ability to communicate this history. Take the time to read what Clement Greenberg has to say (web search) on the matter in regard to Postmodern Art.

PM photography use, apprpriation and borrowing, social/political comment, and humour - parody, irony and playfulness. In gerenal it is also usingeclecticism(combining genres and styles from remote source), banality, bad taste, recontexualisation (placing images into new contexts), intertexuality (ref to art and cultural texts rather than realit), reflexivity (self reference) and deconstruction (exposing self-contradiction or the arbitrary or the constructed origin of 'truth')

The Sidebar Main Menu

Hopefully you should now have a slick, vertical sidebar menu on your blog. Enjoy it now, because I’m telling you this will be the trend for Web 3.0, vertical sidebar menus.

Then add something as follows to your scheme stylesheet, testscheme.css. All paths are relative so the image has to be in your scheme folder. The reason we have #38C in the front is in case the image doesn’t get loaded, it will paint a background of color #38C first
