The Human Condition by Duane Michals.
This image is by Duane Michals. It is called Human Condition. To me the
obvious idea this sequence of pictures is about is wonder. The first
image in the sequence is a picture of a bored looking young man. The
next one shows the same picture but the man is glowing. It is showing
how the man is going inside his own mind because he is so bored with his
surroundings. The next sequence of pictures before the last image just
shows the journey to the deepest part of his mind. The last image is a
picture of a galaxy, maybe the our own galaxy the Milky Way. Michals is
telling us that people wonder at grand things and have a strong desire
to explore the unknown. That we want to understand how everything works.
To us right now the greatest mystery is space and the universe;
everyone would like to know what our place in the grand scheme of things
is. Its the human condition is wonder at everything and to be curious.
