999 DAYS : Russell Higgs URBAN BARBARIAN

[mrmalade]

the music should have been sledgehammer by peter gabriel

[RussellHiGGS]

... I notice that sodding NAZI SWASTIKA video, which has dogged my most popular YouTube video for an entire year, is now more prominent than ever. Now it pops up at the end as the "next featured video" despite it not appearing in the right hand column anymore ...

[RussellHiGGS]

@RussellHiGGS ... last year I asked the Guggenheim if they'd have a word with Google and get the swastika video removed. It used to be prominently positioned in the right hand column. And it WAS promptly removed. But now, despite the swastika continuing to be absent from the right hand column, I discover it is newly positioned extremely prominently on screen right after my video has finished.

[WebartsPL]

great job... should be to watch I some gallery

[Rubbermanzz]

u need a doctor, i can't help u man

[daviddiaz17]

that's like 999 haloweens!

[GoldenGhettoFilms]

To call this a project of Being and Time is equivocal to me taking a dump being a project of matter and energy.

[DaTzzim]

1:54 Grrrrrr....

[blasphemmy]

Why oh why did i took the blue pill?..

[rockebanane]

kinda boring?

[sharanfatkaur]

Wow... That must have taken some amount of dedication! Well done (:

[MsNoob10001]

[vitaliklevchenko]

[becomepostal]

KUNST GROSSE.KUNST

[erik91121]

I have a story to tell you..

[erik91121]

There is more to this video then most seem to be awere of..

Hint : Find , Pause, read

Good vid

[chris96kalonji]

Holy shit there is like 3 faces per second.

[RussellHiGGS]

@chris96kalonji ....... for me the pace of it is reminiscent of the re-cap at the start of episode 22, series 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also the regenerative powers of the Doctor (Who) sometimes come to mind. But I'd say in many ways the beating heart of this project is something more akin to Robert Barry's "All the Things I Know but of Which I am Not at the Moment Thinking: 1:36 pm; June 15, 1969".

[TheBondiBoi]

@TheTinMonkey I'd define my form off modern art, something different, out of the box thinking not like the norm being creative and using the form off art in this modern day and age to put a point across using the style and techinique not normally associanted with art.

[jacek89124]

shit

[SiiiSoldSeparetely]

The music reminded me of a Kendell geers exhibition I went to some few years ago

Unerving but somewhat calm

I like the concept, very artistic. Great job

[lilalijiji]

again something that makes me jealous...

[gastardo]

So basically you threw everything you have in your scummy little room... On your head?

ART!

[hijabi786nm]

Hhhmm I'm confused.. do I like it or think it's weird.. The fact I'm confused makes I like it.. Questionable art.. Lov it maaaaattteee xx

[MrFranzisko]

i bet lady gaga will take all of those

[RossiDelPiero]

@MrFranzisko haha, agreed.

[a3HeadedMonkey]

Apparently being totally batshit crazy is art now. I'm going to take off all my clothes, smear shit all over myself & walk into town to see how many people appreciate my art. :/

[TheBondiBoi]

All thaws people that don't understand it well I do I'm 13 and I'll tell you it's about how in this modern age everything is about appearance and he has used a form of what I would call modern and shown that all we think about is appearance and how we try to achieve that appearance

[gastardo]

@TheBondiBoi

Oh shut up and eat your grandmothers turd.

[TheTinMonkey]

@TheBondiBoi can you define this 'form' you call 'modern'... please... I'd really love you to do that. Really, go ahead and define the formt that you would call modern. I'm interested, clearly you don't think this is cretaceous so I'd love to hear you're thoughts, expand on what you've said.

[sophiejessup]

Freaky background music, almost like it's breathing me in. If it weren't for that I would probably like it. Inventive

[petlover228]

@RussellHiGGS doctor who is the shit and i am american and i think it rocks!

[IntrigaEnigma]

[JackalDude117]

[Richyhello]

You're a very strange man

[kozer1000hehe]

Do you consider yourself artist?

[RussellHiGGS]

@kozer1000hehe ...... sometimes this Project of mine makes me think of Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank playing with the steam on the bathroom mirror/cam

[salamminsk]

Норм))

[salamminsk]

Нефиг делать было!

[Nariekxyz]

[GeorgeFontaine]

I'm not sure if I liked as video art, but I liked the individual costumes and found myself pausing the video to appreciate some of them better. It has triggered a response which is a positive thing. :)

[kayway9]

[AaronSmith0]

[RandyLahey911]

[dirkobow]

über jahre gesammelte werke, am besten ist immer aus der linken hand und schrauben in der wand... was eine arbeit oder hobby für die vielen müllmasken...

[chulk607]

Pretentious and cold, just like most UK modern art these days.

[5ArmedSkeleton]

@chulk607 Not just in the UK, man.

[Foxxwild]

After I've seen all these pics the only thing I can say for sure: Beard - yes

Shaved - no

PS: You have used the branch with the rowan berries twice :D

[RussellHiGGS]

@Foxxwild I return to many many things more than once :)

[DOREYULTRA90]

0:56 THE STATE IS THE ONLY TERRORIST!!!

[UniqueShopper]

poor dude

[MrTomEdo]

Awesome! You're very creative! X3

[xMelvinSmileyx]

This guy seems to have a lot of spare time.

[RussellHiGGS]

@xMelvinSmileyx ... on very busy days I simply got up an hour earlier, making the time to ensure I had created that day's portrait. These portraits are spontaneous, improvisational, unrehearsed and playful etc

[primaledge]

Bizarre... The sound was a bit too eery for the visual material though IMO, something more rythmic would have portrayed the passgae of time better

[newnilzizi]

Why is the Nazi anthem in the related videos?

[markstar777]

yor too hairy

[MrSofty96]

crazy

[Biancabr24]

Groetjes biancabr24

[Nathanwyn1]

[fifarfara]

The more I look at it, and the more I think 2 myself, what a powerfull piece this piece is.

Serg

[jimmboy93]

Why is the only question?

[RussellHiGGS]

@jimmboy93 ... are you genuinely unable to think of a reason why yourself?

[jimmboy93]

@RussellHiGGS Well actually yes. Not that I am trying to be an asshole or something but i really can't think of a reason.

[johnvile]

JFC. That hurt my eyes. Did I see a spaghetti hair do? lol

[RussellHiGGS]

@johnvile ... Spaghetti hair yes :) From 26th October 2008

you can see the original still portrait for that day in my Shutterchance archive. the url is in the text that accompanies the video

[JohnPreston888]

Hmmm...You've not had a full dance-card for a while then?
