LC lyric quoted in name of artistic experience

Post by Andrew (Darby) »

I watched quite an interesting documentary on the photographer Spencer Tunick and his tour of America taking art photos of (usually) massed or grouped nudes in various cities/towns.

Anyway, a middle aged guy in Minneapolis (I think it was) explained his decision to do a nude photo for Spencer in terms of LC's lyric "there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in". He elaborated by saying it was his way of "opening up that crack" in his own experience - so there you go, an LC triggered insight into revealing behaviour! :wink:

Cheers :)
