An image taken by American photographer William Eggleston. William Eggleston's photography has been cited as one of the main influences on "Trash Humpers". Eggleston manages to find striking images within the everyday. The walls have a "red light" feel to them, giving the picture a seedy atmosphere. The doorway cleverly frames what looks like an image of Christ, illuminated up in an bright glowing light.
A low angle shot gives the Christ image a sort of
power, therefore emphasizing what could have
been quit a mundane image. This image made me think back to the lecture on semiotics. The image of Christ immediately has all sorts of connotations attached to it. Throw that in with the red light, a symbol of sex and decadence in many parts of the world and we have an intersting and visually striking image.
