- Colored Puppet by Jordan Woulfson on display at the Tate Modern Gallery in London.
"As the chains move, they lift the figure up and let it fall to the ground. This apparent act of violence may trigger a strong emotional response. However, the sense of shock is tempered by the awareness that the deliberately crude, loose-limbed figure is clearly just a collection of fibreglass parts connected by metal links."
in response to the description: as a victim of child abuse myself, i'd say that the looseness of the figure doesn't take away from the shock or take away from the realism for me, but rather i really think it reflects the lack of power that comes with being a child in a situation of abuse. you very much feel like a rag doll: completely powerless to the forces of will that are happening to you and around you.
Woulfson never really explains fully the meaning of his work, one reason I really appreciate it as it is up for interpretation. Thank you so much for your comment and your take on the subject. The piece really does provoke a strong reaction so it is great to hear people's interpretations (as painful and shocking as sometimes they are). Thank you :)
This is probably one of the most eerie and unsettling exhibitions I’ve seen at Tate modern, it was so memorable when I saw it in person
The power in this piece is in it's lack of interpretation.
2. To kill you
3. To hold you
4. To bleed you
5. To touch you
6. To move you
7. To ice you
8. To put my teeth on you
9. To put my hand on you
10. To hand inside your hair
11. Your leg over my shoulder
12. Your mouth full of coffee
12. (again) (I didn't hear very well, but I think he said "I knew you")
13. I killed you
14. You're blind (I think he said that)
15. You're spoiled
16. To lift you
17. To show you
18. To weight you (I think he said that)
15. You're spoiled
16. To lift you
@@starrysky1191 thank you
Ahhhh!!!
But what is number one?
@@mrpercival5130 there was no number one, it started like this, "two to kill you."
I saw this one as just an image and didn't get it, but in motion this is... one of the most horrible things I've seen, and I mean that in a positive way, it's accurate to child abuse and just the helpless pointless nature of it. Art is so wonderful and terrible all at once.
I'd like to know why this is so disturbing to me. If it didn't resemble a child, and was a string of beads, it would be fascinating. But, I really don't like what it's doing to my emotions.
Feel the same way :(
And that's why it's art.
This made me think of sex trafficking and it broke my heart
Art like this will always be interesting to me it’s so different from what I normally see
This is like scary desturbing and much more it gives me a head ace
it's so dead yet alive
Why does it only play the song for 2 seconds after all that
From my view of this part is
“ When the song started to play the emotions hits different from weirdly dark to sadness but when it stopped those sad emotions fade away also with the song and I realised it’s just a two seconds of a song but the action still the same and it becomes more dark and disturbing “
But at the end it’s an art everyone see it from different way.
This wins. I made it to 6 and paused. Commented and left.
prefect for next years Halloween display .
Gruselig
I made the fiber optic eyeballs
O también que sin las cadenas o esa voz no podría a blar ni moverme mientras los demás me ven y me escuchan pero sino me moviera ni ablara sería una tristes estatua que nadie entiende y solamente la voltearon a ver con desprecio
Qué sin piedad con las cadenas me siguen asotando para que mi pensar o lo que dije cambié de parecer
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Floating through the wind
This shows how the aggressor becomes the victim.
I think its funny like slapstick ❤

How kpm treats us in malaysia:
Hello fellow Malaysian
Para mí representa que a pesar de estar atado nuestros pensamientos siguen siendo iguales y que solamente por estar encadenado no significa que mi decisión va a cambiar
Que isso?
Coisa de doido
Uma arte q representa abuso infantil , esse tipo d arte mostra problemas ao nosso redor d uma forma sutil assim como a obra cant help myself
Neat, i hate it....but neat
Looks like what the mandates have done to all of us.
I not think Wolfson I looking for his identity but rather found it and it is not good.
Hitler would have loved him.
When this gunk is shown in a museum it too amusing. How eager they are to display their naïveté.
What
It’s not that deep.
It’s about the abuse a child goes through and how children react (the eyes have screens where they have emotions on them) and it’s about how a child is broken and damaged from that
what????
You have serious issues
can somebody explain the counting to me? That's the only part i dont understand
Something to do with the kids age but I don't fully understand it either
@@MrBellyman128 reading a list of what he wants to do to you/the audience
I don't understand anything
To me, it seemed to convey an age followed by a form of abuse/neglect
What The abusive parents did to the kid at each age
Bruh
1:00
Well I wonder how there going to make him dance with nothing attached to his other arm or leg?
2:32
Bruh
He is not dancing, he is being tortured.
@@MartynWhiteLondon oh
the lost of innocence on a TH-cam video
Eerie and unsettling I like it
When I see this piece and Percy Sledge starts singing , I recall... "...you bitch...!"
Fuerte, muy fuerte...
What's the name of the song?
I don't get the countdown part...?
its a list of things he wants to do to you and insults, i see it as revenge
Someone said the numbers are the child's age and the things are what happens to the kid at the age but I don't know
i have 3 interpretations:
things the character wants to do to you, the viewer who is watching and doing nothing to help them (figuratively speaking. it is a puppet)
the age of the character and what happened to them each year
a list of the things that the character has heard people (probably their parents, this really seems like it’s about child abuse to me) say they want to do to them.
Squid Game, anyone?
