Marques Vickers’ photographic edition ”In Loving Memory (Of The Absurd)” is a satirical parody of homemade generated memorials constructed to commemorate loss. The edition portrays 105 remembrance images ranging from early childhood pleasures to more pointed commentaries regarding society. Many may be viewed on rear car windows or bumper stickers globally.Vickers’ focused lens and barbed interpretation stretches the perimeters of credibility and questionable taste, absent of malice. The images are captured from nature, architecture and over forty years of international travel.The collective works constitute the photographer’s unique observations regarding the priorities and standards of contemporary American society and civil behavior. In his preface, Vickers laments the sacrilegious nature of possessing a unique sense of humor that contradicts and frequently mocks the established social acceptance syndrome. The author notes the existence of an ample inventory of aspiring and staid individuals seeking to bend the world to their own vision of epiphany…or more likely, their own biased point of view. These individuals often worship at the elevated alter of self. Their voices creak as a hybrid between delusion and schizophrenia.”In Loving Memory (Of The Absurd)” is a spoof of an irreverent era, when the standards and criteria of social behavior are becoming as comical as the practitioners in all levels of authority.
