Intro to Learning to Respect Beauty


Pop culture connects Kat Bjelland to Courtney Love, whose image I explored in Courtney Love: Paean to a Lady Monster and Courtney Love: Tabloid Death Mask. In kinderwhore.com I dealt with Courtney Love's "vampirical" relationship to Kat Bjelland. I can understand why Courtney Love fed artistically off Kat Bjelland. Of course, I sympathize with Kat Bjelland for having been fed upon; yet I do not feel sorry for her, because the reason she was thus exploited is that she is both extraordinarily talented and stunningly beautiful. Her talent and beauty inspired this piece. Learning to Respect Beauty is composed of 30 image/text still frames, which form a text loop (i.e., the 30th image/text links contextually back to the 1st). Using your mouse or trackball, click anywhere on the image/texts to make your way through the piece. Lacking a high-speed Internet connection, the image/texts may take time to load.
