Description
- a pill to fall asleep- a pill to give you energy
- a pill to feel no hunger
- a pill against headache
- a pill against stomachache
Do the pills make us more alive? Or they make us weaker, because we don't cope with the problems on our own?
Doesn't matter, everything looks better when the pain is missing.
Where's my pill against soulaches?
_______________________________
I know the canvas is kinda big, my apologies about that, but I really hope you'll open the FULL VIEW of this piece. There's no other way to see it and, I hope, enjoy it.
This project is based on a structure taken from a Coca Cola's advertisement here in Bulgaria. I think there's the same ad shown in Argentina as well. It's very inspirational to me, so I have dared to take some elements from it. In a short, the main idea and some phrases are not mine, but this is my interpretation with a different subject, many modifications, and completely new things too, so in my opinion I have given enough to call it a part of me. At least I worked really hard, with much enthusiasm, and with no commercial goals.
Some Making information:
- almost 10 euros left in the pharmacy (some shame as well: "Excuse me, but I should tell you that I need some pretty little pink pills, cuz I make a photo session of medicines. Oh, thank you, you are very polite! ...What about some green and big now? Brown and spherical? Perfect!! Three of sixteen, up to now that's really good!! Let's go on...
- 2 weeks shooting
- 600 pics total (or more. Of course, I haven't count, but there were LOTS of them)
- some months editing (because of my laziness and the summer hotness)
Actually, you can find more pathetic description of the making process in my journal (and especially my notes bellow it) here [link] .
All comments, critiques, ...favs (
Hope you'll like it,
Bel.

This is a really good one
The idea taken from Coca Cola's advertisement matches perfectly with the essence of your work
It makes you think how much we depend on pills
I thought i won't like something more than "all night long", but obviously i was wrong
Like it a lot
Keep it up!

We have that coca cola add in Denmark too.. anyway, I really like your idea behind the piece - it makes you think: do we really rely too much on pill to make us feel better?
Great job!
