Critiques

  • I feel immediately I'm constructing artifice and removing myself from reality, in a safe predictable, 'conceptual', sci-fi space. It's so removed from the real it fails to deal with socio-cultural matter.
  • This project puts me in a strait-jacket of artifice and performativity. I'm really faking it, in a way that I find uninteresting. Life is not a masquerade. There's subterrain beneath the superficial surface of appearances, representations. How to go beyond representation in a visual medium? How to get to actuality?
