an idea of freedom

fragments from a documentary on the life, death, and work of photographer Carol Jerrems

an idea of freedom:

momentary release

from the human condition

of aloneness

 

Free love

 

There was an ideal

it was uncool

to be jealous

to be possessive

 

We all tried

to live by that

even though

we couldn’t

 

an idea of freedom

 

silent laughing

creative partnership

        nudity

course language

adult themes

 

1968

 

photographing people

moment preserved

 

courage

true artist

fearless

 

making the honest choice

going to a place of risk

knowing if you don’t

you will never be satisfied

 

paying for it later

with deep depressions

 

there is no freedom in art
