  I am going to throw off the remark that 'modeling' and acting are versions of the modern
  age's artificial experiences....a version of being a "tourist' metaphorically speaking, ala V.
   
  On the othe hand, "embodying abstractions"....as an actress (who CAN BE artists).......
  sounds important......................

  Do observers of monuments become grouped with them? ATD characters,

Memorial, how it has sat, silenly, sharing in social movements in which
great grandchildren of slaves would march. More on the AOD soon.. 

"Unlike others in the modeling line she had taken the actress's approach

way of 'getting inside the character.' What was the point in trying to
incarnate Bimetallism unless you could lean 
everything you could about it?" 895 (Beyond the text with Dally, we will
turn to The Wizard of Oz for side reading. She could also be compared to
Persephone, Virgin Mary, Oedipa Mass, and characters in great Train movies,
of which I have a limited knowledge.)
