Hanged Man Series / Dana, Llys (aka Jacques Juin)., 1994

 Item
Identifier: CC-45283-47468
Scope and Contents These 12 images of a semi-abstract man who is hanging by his feet are drawn with indecipherable words that are overwritten and formed with different ink widths of the pen. The hanged man originates as a Tarot card. A man hanging by one foot from a Tau cross - sometimes from a bar or tree. His free leg is always bent to form a "4," his face is always peaceful, never suffering. Sometimes his hands are bound, sometimes they dangle. Sometimes coins fall out of his pockets or hands. The story of this card is as follows. The Fool settles beneath a tree, intent on finding his spiritual self. There he stays for nine days, without eating, barely moving. People pass by him, animals, clouds, the wind, the rain, the stars, sun and moon. On the ninth day, with no conscious thought of why, he climbs a branch and dangles upside down like a child, giving up for a moment, all that he is, wants, knows or cares about. Coins fall from his pockets and as he gazes down on them - seeing them not as money...
