(off the record)
The basic image for the “Ice Cream Guardian” is lightened ice cream box. The ice cream tubs are placed horizontally; they are settled in good order, easily looked over, different in color and substance they hold. If we leave out of account Christian iconography and iconology, it can resemble on Leonardo’s’ Last Supper (clear order, allusions to eating, variety (tubs, apostles)…).
With white cover, black surrounding and “intimate” lightening it also resembles on baroque chiaroscuro principle. Many tastes of ice cream, differently colored, for different desires. Its colorful material, greediness, thirst, sweetness also goes together with passions that came into life in Baroque period. Thus, the image lays in ideal, clear, apolinic order; and in dionysic variety of colors and tastes, chiaroscuro, eroticism and mortality.
Transportable Ice cream handcart, used for selling the ice cream on the streets accompanies the c++ light projection.
