As I was unable to go to Tate modern with my theatre class, I went online and looked at photos that I think relate to the brain and from that I was able to annotate/ analyse them but I will not be using one of the pictures as a stimulus for Thursday's lesson.
1. The first image relates to the mind a lot, I think it represents the side of the mind that has positivity to the dark thoughts everyone has, yellow tends to symbolise light and black tends to symbolise darkness, the fact that the two people are contorted together in a way that looks uncomfortable suggests comfort and misalignment between the two- conflict, it is the idea that they can clash and one can destroy the other, like you could be having a good day but with one bad thought your mind will change in emotions , I find it symbolic how the yellow one seems to be on top of the black one because it shows the idea of happiness is more powerful than sadness. the horses head is on the black one and horses are associated with strength and the fact that the light one is on top of the black one is symbolic because even though a horse is a strong animal light is still able to triumph. There’s an idea that there is two parts of us so the yellow bit; easy to see, the light in us, that we know we are humans/ what we are etc. but the idea of the horse is that we are animals and that we have a primitive nature and even though we don’t notice it we are more dominant of our being and how we think and whatnot. The idea of ying and yang it could represent lightness and darkness the idea that we are two different people, that we are two faced that we are intertwined you can’t have one or the other, Chinese culture.

It relates to the mind because the way that the
lines are, visually it’s hard to see because the lines seem to be getting wider
as it gets to the middle the middle bit is like the centre of the mind; that we
know about it and how the brain works but as you go deeper it is harder to
understand it is harder to find a concept of how our mind works, and what makes
us and our subconscious level, it can also been seen as an optical illusion it
relates to the mind because everyone’s mind works in a different way, some
people may be able to see the optical illusion some people might not, to me it
looks like the spirals are moving but to someone else it might not be apparent.
It is to do with our brain the whole thing is our mind, the middle bit is the
centre of our brain and the way the lines are getting closer as you go out,
it’s the idea that we know less of ourselves, less of our subconscious The lines get harder to intiguish which
could represent we not knowing what is beyond our sub conscious, it’s harder to
what within us , know what our soul is
we have less understanding because we live the basis of us and the basis of us
is our bodybut further in what makes us how do we think how do we know whats
right or wrong where do our morals come from?

‘the whole world’ could be seen as metaphorical
and could be a representation of our body, the ‘work’ will be our mind, the
whole world is our body and our body is a battle for the mind and the soul and
it equals the whole world the illiteral sense in regards to human and society
and we make it up without our body soul and mind we wouldn’t be here.
