About this project
Please watch my overly dramatic video and pledge today!!!
''Kelli Klymenko's God's & Goddesses'' is
a unique project that shares with humanity, a unified voice - a vision through an elaborate photography and film collection.
In today's society, it is visual stimuli that defines who we are, and
carves out a path to our future actions. We have deified celebrities, friends, people who are 'inaccessible' and those who entertain us. Those who we have
placed on a pedestal for either good or bad, as negative, or positive
role models - are the gods and goddesses of modern times.
Humanity knows over 3000 supernatural beings or deities. Many of us recognize that these gods, these goddesses have been our own creations - our own fabrications that were used to give reason and truth to our misconceptions of the Universe we call home. Join all the gods and goddesses of myth and legend, of religion and fantasy and create one great story - a snapshot in time, this time - right now. Understanding is more powerful than believing.
We are all works in progress. Even the slightest action will create ripples, then waves through time. My intentions are to share one simple thing:
Unity : Unity in Life, Conservation, Preservation and Humanity.
Grow | Learn | Conserve | Preserve | Question | Denounce | Educate | Change | Free your mind | EVOLVE
We all have the ability to make a difference in this world. I intend to
take the faces we most recognize and represent them in images that have
transformed societies over the millennia – and by doing so, deify
ourselves through these images. Every human face has a deity that can
represent them, and every deity is simply a reflection of our human selves.
We are all divine.
Which God are you? Which Goddess are you?
Deify yourself. By seeing the divine in you, it is easier for each of us to see the divine within.
THIS PROJECT is a 'get the ball rolling' kickstart - I need the funds
for props, wardrobe, location, lighting, etc for approximately 10-20
deities. The more funding I get, the more I will be able to photograph! I
intend to create posters, postcards, mini god and goddess cards and a
printed book.
We live in one of the most influential times in
all history - I ask you to join the beginning of the revolution - and be
a part of just one of the millions of changes we will all make
together.
Thank you for your support!

FAQ
-
Yes! Just like traditional art, from ancient times to yesterday - I plan on including all the elements traditionally associated with the deity. For instance, here's a great visual: MillaJovovich said, "@kelliklymenko probably Athena cause she busted out of her dads head n can turn ppl in2 spiders!" in reply to me asking who she would be.(https://twitter.com/#!/MillaJovovich/status/149873595735212032)

Connected as Kelli Klymenko (339 friends)
Artist, Photographer and Writer
Marketing & Events Director for the Sedona Arts Center
Kelli Klymenko is currently the Marketing and Events coordinator and a faculty member at Sedona Arts Center. He made his first major debut as a visionary photographer in 2003 at a private gallery showing known as "The Nemesis Collective" in Manhattan, New York. This spawned the completion of four published photography books formulated from over 19,000 images.
Kelli has had an eclectic career, working as a marketing and art director, including webmaster for several high tech companies. Kelli has over the years worked: for independent motion picture and television producers and directors creating storyboards and designs for production projects; to branching out into other artistic endeavors such as writing screenplays; to writing his first novel, Finding Angels and first published on August 1, 2005 [US]. Those close to him knew this as “the seven year project”. Kelli also owned and managed a shop on the East Coast for a number of years, creating scents for incense and oils that are exclusively his and still marketed through his venture, Spellbound Originals.
Kelli relocated to Sedona, Arizona in 2004 for a year, then spent a brief three-year period in Beverly Hills and returned in 2008 to enjoy the beautiful scenery, weather, people and art scene. He lives locally with his family and enjoys seeing his children create art the same way he did when he was young. He also is working on creative projects and as an Independent Writer / Producer, developing a number of feature films scheduled for production.
