Artists make all sorts of shocking things they call art in which no one can see the purpose of it or the fun of it. I don't know what purpose this crazy thought would serve but I found it amusing when it flashed in my mind so I am sharing it here.
I imagined an artist who creates paintings that display properly only if you are looking at them upside-down. The gallery that will house them will use hanging ropes in which visitors will be tied and hang upside down. Visualize bungee jumping and you get the idea. Visitors move from one painting to the next via pulling trolleys using a remote control which they hold in their hands. Totally absurd, right?
Then I thought, not many people would be able to hang like that for long and look into paintings. So not many would do it. But the idea that something like that exists and some crazy enough people do it will shock people who will visit the art gallery refusing to be hung upside down. If the purpose of the artist would be to shock and surprise, it's certainly one way to do it.
Imagine walking in the gallery and seeing people hanging upside down looking at the paintings.
Wouldn't it feel odd, weird and shocking?
