Ophelia | John Everett Millais (1852) — Ophelia | Silvia Camporesi (2004) — Melancholia| Lars Von Trier (2011)
Perhaps one of the most reinterpreted paintings of all time, Sir John Everett Millais illustrates the previous instant to the death of Ophelia, narrated in act IV, scene 7 of Hamlet.
Her clothes spread wide, And mermaid-like a while they bore her up, Which time she chanted snatches of old lauds as one incapable of her own distress, or like a creature native and induced upon that element.

Whatever interest
there was in
difference’s gone.
She rolls the sounds
around and around.
A piece of speech
falls out of her mouth.
“A peace
of speech,”
says Ginsberg.
Like the Big Note
of which all music
is the resonance
is the poetic sentence.
You’re a piece
of the same person
I’m a piece of.
—Tom Clark, from “A Sailor’s Life”

Blood Experiment 2Left exposed to air, blood undergoes a succession of reactions. The photographs illustrate its progressive decay. Time is an important element of this series. The first image is of fresh blood and each successive photograph was created at one of the major unit of time: 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year.
