THE MACABRE APPEAL, SHOCK VALUE, EXHIBITONISIM
Engrossement and fascination to defy and observe the sinful--the immoral state of being. A profound reflection--the preoccupation and obsession to confront evil, to stir the emotions, to evoke, to awaken the subconscious; the unmitigated deliberation to proceed on this pathway to repulse and shock, PSYCHOLOGICALLY INSTRUMENTAL--provoking a reaction of negative emotions. But, does this open the channels for deliberation and interpretation, good or bad--shockingly repellent--deliberately startling, offending the audience by violating norms for social values and personal ideals—but, heightening awareness of significant social issues, taking a stand against infringements on human rights, opening a debate—controversial, but conceivably enlightening. The word Macabre comes from the French phrase DANSE MACABRE “The Dance of Death” a popular subject of art and literature in the late Middle Ages. Since the beginning of time famous painters have used the Macabre Appeal—to attract, to shock.
