Year
2003 Themes
Money - The source of all evil or the mechanism of reward
and advancement. It may talk but what is it saying.
The capital that flows continent to continent, from
pay check to pay check - always one step away from poverty.
Time is money and money is power.
Race
and Religion - a search for spiritual peace or a self
perpetuating ignorance. A badge to sew on to your own
preconceptions. A value judgment that can kill. An excuse
for existence or a club we join without being asked.
A political force or a a mechanism of isolation. A personal
search through a glass darkly played out in public.
Family
- "they f**k you up your mum and dad" - the
beginning of our fears and phobias. The secret world
of the family, the violence behind the clean net curtains.
A source of strength and enlightenment that lasts a
lifetime - somewhere to turn and be accepted.
Nationalism
- We are the people; you are not. Pride in the past
or ignorance of history. A sense of belonging. A sense
of collective care. A brand. A logo, marketing strategy.
An efficient hanger for tax collecting and financial
control. |
