Uncomfortable

by Editor Wicher Bos 

Recently we visited a museum where a work of art by Jeroen Eisinga (1966) was displayed.
A short movie where he is fully covered by honeybees. (It is called “Springtime.”)
As a explanation the museum said: “Eisinga seeks the point at which looking becomes uncomfortable, draws you out of your comfortable role as an observer, and you are involuntary confronted with all kinds of sensory and ethical dilemmas.”

I wondered if there are images that would make me uncomfortable or even scared on 1x?
So, not just images that depict fear but make you experience and feel it. I know, this will be very personal.

I might have Arachnophobia or any other phobia that you may laugh about, yet… having said that I want to share some photo’s that made me feel (a bit) uncomfortable…
In a later article I plan to connect both the pleasing and uncomfortable images…
