The fact that humans can be killed through physical means is so ridiculous to me
Like this sounds wild but like. hear me out. a person is such a ridiculously infinitely complicated web of thoughts and feelings and beliefs and such an unbelievably huge amount of knowledge and the idea that you can destroy that by holding a pillow over someone's face for three minutes is absolutely surreal. The idea that you can remove knowledge and emotion and memory from the world with a physical object is literally unbelievable. people are literally infinitely huge and complex and the fact that you can kill the person by killing the body is wild. I'm sure this is incoherent but I hope you get it
It's like. Imagine you threw a fist-sized rock at the empire state building and the entire thing and everything inside it collapsed into dust. That's what the existence of human death feels like

Woah. Nice!
āHereās my chicken wondering what Iām doingā š ā ā
Iāve never seen such a succinct explanation of how to train up to going *any* flag exercise and i love it.
god i can never stop thinking about certain sculptures used in modern art and how they can be used to elicit the beautiful and terrible feeling of true and genuine horror in ways that a lot of horror movies can never do
like when you ask peopleĀ āwhat is horror?ā theyāll tend to give examples of monsters, of killers, of dark places, of sharp teeth and too many legs and lots and lots of blood. which is true, that can be used as horror! but iād like to call that āthe horror of being eaten/hurt/killedā or more succinctly āthe horror of vulnerabilityā. itās a horror that something, whether itās a killer or a monster or some phenomenon, has the ability to cause us harm. we see large amounts of teeth and we thinkĀ āthat thing is going to tear us to pieces with those teethā or we see spilled blood and we thinkĀ āsomeone has been hurt, thereās a chance we can be hurt too by whatever spilled this bloodā.
but what certain modern sculptures can do is elicit a very physical visceral reaction of a completely different kind of horror.Ā
itās āthe horror that something is a thing that SHOULD not exist, and you are absolutely powerless to understand what it is, but it is existing in your space, right now, it is real and you cannot make it unreal no matter what you doā
or perhaps, in a shorter fashion, itāsĀ āthe horror of wrongnessā
like one of the sculptures that made me feel this way is this sculpture here, named āMonekanaā located in the American Art Museum in Washington D.C:
āokay,ā you say, with a shrug.Ā āitās a horse made of wood? whatās so scary about that?ā. but this is the lie of the photograph! a photograph of a sculpture rarely grasps the experience of standing next to a sculpture. you have to picture yourself walking into this room, practically devoid of people, and coming face to face with this sculpture that is very large and very real.
and your brain screams thatĀ āTHIS IS WRONG. MAKE IT GO AWAY. THIS IS WRONGā, like at any moment you expect it to move, to twist its head, to follow you with eyes that arenāt simply there. it looks like a horse but it is no horse. you could almost argue that maybe it isnāt even an art piece at all, but it wandered in from god knows what kind of world and itās blending in with everything else. maybe itās fooling you. maybe it isnāt.
anyways, iām not trying to say that this sculpture in particular is SUPPOSED to be scary, it may make other people feel nothing at all (or even positive feelings!), but what iām trying to say is that feeling i had that day, when i saw this thing, when i felt this fearful instinct to stay away and not stare, itās THAT feeling that i feel so many writers and makers of horror donāt completely understand. you donāt need teeth. you donāt need blood. you donāt need to make Spooky Scary Skeletons or chainsaw-wielding villains. all you need is to create something wrong in its existence, something to make parts of us fear the fact that we canāt entirely rationalize what weāre seeing.
thatās horror, to me.
@admiraloblivious
This is amazing
This post makes me think of Klaus Pinterās work:
The experience of sculpture absolutely gets lost in images. Iāve walked into museums and been like WOW THE FUCK even when I knew it was coming.
I love this subject, though. I love āimplication horror.ā You see something, and the realization of what it means, which often comes a few moments later, is where the real horror liesānot in how splattery or gratuitously shocking it is. The wrongness of a thing in fiction, when done well, is the best. I was watching Melancholia the other day, and what a terrifying example of wrongness horror.
Anyway this is such a great post thanks for putting the whole idea into words so well. <3
This is how I feel about wind turbines (I tried to walk up to one once and felt the most inexplicable terror Iāve ever felt in my life), or most things that are ridiculously large, for that matter. Ships fascinate me but make me feel very uneasy. Certain buildings, especially if they look old-timey in any way kind of freak me out.Ā
Examples: The Halifax shipyard building made me feel almost nauseous, and I have to drive past this cold storage building in Winnipeg every time I go to visit my boyfriendās parents. I do not like it one bit. Also, I got to see that sculpture of a giant newborn baby last year. That was very surreal in the way that is described here.
WHAT AMAZING ADDITIONS TO THIS POST, thank you! I didnāt know of Kalus Pinterās work and now I REALLY want to see it for myself, goodness.
Honestly, Iām so glad so many people have responded and reblogged this post with examples and stories of their own!! Itās so cool to see just what people think and perceive as this horror ofĀ āwrongnessā. I also see some people saying that this is essentially the uncanny valley effect, which is only an aspect of this kind of horror - the uncanny valley primarily deals with something we perceive that looks close to human and yet doesnāt quite make it there. Itās just one subset of a really uneasy sort of horror that can be found in so many forms, which may really honestly differ from person to person.
Overall, THIS HORROR IS WIDELY UNDERUSED IN FICTION and Iām so glad to see so many examples of it posted here!!
I feel this way about kangaroos. If you really look at a kangaroo for a minute itās deeply unsettling, theyāre bipedal and they have insane abs and they move wrong, itās too human and I get that creeping horror that this thing exists. If I look at kangaroos too long I feel like Iām going insane
Louise Bourgeoisās spider sculptures did this to me, a bit. It was less the shape than the formāthe lumpiness, the uneven shineābut mostly it was the scale. Most of these examples of horror donāt feel quite so wrong when theyāre at a scale we can look ādownā on. But when they overshadow us, or at least when they overshadow our general certainty of control, even for just a moment, the disorientation can slip suddenly into horror.
consider the Gelitin collectiveās enormous pink rabbit left to rot in the Italian alps for the next 10 years
Eoin Mc Hugh - The Ground Itself is Kind, Ā Black Butter, 2014
Kiki Smithās lilith sculpture is more humanoid but i feel like it belongs on this post because walking into the stairwell in the met and seeing this fucking thing was one of the most unnerving experiences in my life
If āthe horror of wrongnessā makes your soul sing as it does mine, read literally anything by Robert Aickman. My favorite is āThe Hospiceā.
Iāve SEEN this statue. In person. My brain short-circuited. I knew it was a statue and I KNEW it was there (saw it from another vantage point earlier in my wanderings) but when I rounded the corner to head up the stairs where it is perfectly positioned BAM. Instantly made āeye contactā and froze. The way its head is crained over the shoulder and the hyper realistic face hovering several feet off the ground⦠ACK.

This whole obsession with wheelchair users struggling on foot down the aisle at their wedding or across the stage for graduation is 100% powered by ableism.
āThe heartwarming story of how one woman worked for 8 months straight so she could escape the horror that is being in wheelchair for a few short minutes to struggle slowly and painfully down the aisle on her special day.ā
āthe horror that is being in a wheelchairā bitch itās hella better than struggling slowly & painfully down the aisle ffs
āDespite being permanently paralyzed, her one goal since her accident has been to walk across the stage for graduation. The whole crowd gave her a standing ovation and broke into tears when she dragged her paralyzed legs across the stage with the help of leg braces and a walker to collect her diploma, after which she immediately sat back down in her wheelchair, which she will use to move around for the rest of her life.ā
How the hell is this an inspirational story? This person needs better goals. And a therapist.
Theyāre toxic in an even greater way because as a disabled person, I didnāt realise till I was reading this how much I had internalised that. I genuinely have had feelings of fear and shame about using a chair or a walker if I get married. And why? Because Iām constantly seeing āheartwarmingā stories about disabled people who shed their mobility aids for that moment. Why the hell am I afraid of using them to get married? Anyone who marries me or attends the wedding will know I need them and love me regardless.
Bless this post for making me realise Iād internalised that shit.
These types of stories teach people, both abled and disabled, that using mobility aids, especially wheelchairs, is inferior.
here are some beautiful brides in chairs with dresses they ROCK. I know a lot of disabled ppl with internalized ableism think they āwonāt look goodā if they use their chair, but hereās some literally gorgeous gals for ur consideration
(that last ones cute as fuck and i teared up at it)
Who needs a bouquet when you can be a bouquet?
I made my addition to this post in June 2019. Its now January 2020 and I no longer feel guilty about the idea of going down the aisle one day with mobility aids.
God bless the disabled community, y'all saved me from some internalised bullshit
This post floated by a few months ago, and I remember something to effect of thereās a difference between recovery and refusal. That is, like, I have a friend that suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury. He can walk again now, and I donāt think Iāve seen him use his chair in a few years. When he walked at his graduation, it was to show off his recovery. That he wasnāt quite ready to go through a full day upright, but he could walk across a stage, unassisted, and soon he would be able to do that every day. Thereās also a difference in someone like me choosing to not use a mobility aid. My mobility is intensely fluid, especially seasonally. So, I would plan a summer wedding. And while I love my cane it can also be the biggest pain in my ass, so Iād want to just go unassisted. But thatās normal for me, at least right now. I can walk without an aid during about half of the year. Itās reasonable to assume I can make it through one day without it. All of that is different than someone that is fully and permanently paralyzed, that will never walk again, dragging themselves along because they feel thatās somehow better. Overall though, my biggest takeaway is fuck the media. Because disabled people should be able to make whatever decision they want without the media turning it into this grand inspirational story.

THIS.
Couldnāt pass up the opportunity to add my disabled joy to this post. Look at this love!
Taking the opportunity to add these photos of Jessica Kellgren-Fozard and her wife Claudia, from this twitter post. JessicaĀ also has a youtube channel thatās primarily about disability and chronic illness and LGBT stuff (itās amazing!)Ā
I would also like to personally share, Annika Victoria who ALSO has a youtube channel. This photo was taken from her instagram - she made her wedding dress dress herself, BY HAND. Her youtube channel is mostly DIY fashion and sewing tutorials. I love her so much, sheās so unapologetically herself and informative
I also wanna add these pictures of Ade Adepitan fucking rocking this badass suit at his wedding! Give my fellow disabled mascs some love too
look how much fun theyāre both having! yes!
and also this couple, who are both wheelchair users
this is from their beautifully coordinated wedding!
And another wheelchair dip! Mari Ruggi via Instagram.
