Have, Have not.
This work centres on social conditioning as a result of state ideological control. I am troubled by the contradictions I observe in current political and cultural positioning, my installation is a result of these issues.
The relentless film loop from It’s A Wonder Life conveyed to me the notion of ‘Innocence Lost’. The significance of this, on me as socially conditioned subject is what I am exploring through the work.
By combining personal recollections with the ‘collective consciousness’, I aim to express how my own notions of morality polarise with the shared social reality I experience.
