Application

Statement
In my daily life I often feel very weighed down by the mundanity of survival. I would like to repeat a quote that I often say to myself secretly when I am feeling especially frustrated with my actions as a functioning adult human: ‘Art must tear at the neck of the bourgeois.’ To me, it is a reminder that I must rip out the part of myself that I commission for process. I do not want to stride through cyclical events, but veer off and collide into things with a playful ferocity.

Proposal
Footage will be streamed from five different locations in the UK to the Frieze Fair and shown on a five screen Jumbotron: the ocean, a cityscape, a residential area, an open field, and a mountain. At each location the camera will actually be shooting the landscapes reflected into a large pane of sugar glass. At a synchronized moment, a human being will crash through the mirrors. The audio from each location will be broadcast throughout the fair, and simple staged happenings will occur before the climactic shattering of the mirrors takes place.
