New Criticals


RC: What do you hope will happen? What will be the effect?

KB: After we posted the first images through social media only two people shared them. We spoke to a few people privately and they said that the images were so disgusting that they did not want them on their FB pages. This shows something terrible about how people self-censor, as they build their identity on the FB wall. Where once- before contemporary surveillance methods took hold- the mob found power in anonymity, people are now isolated and bound to individual rather than collective identities or mutual subjectivities.

So we have repackaged the work in as harmless a wrapping as we could find. We are in the process of inserting them under the noses of the people who they portray in the form of some glossy leadership brochures and some eye-watering large scale digital prints to hang in their offices.
