politics
A list of the words spoken by the first woman to speak in any film, and the time at which these words are spoken in the film. (This could be broken into decades as a series of mini-projects).
Possibly written/printed as a list.
Possibly compiled into a zine.
A t-shirt boldly stating ‘IMMIGRANTS’ on the front of it, with illustrations of key/essential plants and vegetables now grown/growing in the UK that were imported from elsewhere.
The phrase ‘All in this together’ written in the style of the ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ gate outside of Auschwitz, rendered as a print or sculpture.
‘We’re all in this together’ become the catchphrase and persistent lie of the Tory party from 2008 onwards to justify the crippling programme of austerity they unleashed upon the UK.
A poster that lists the main politicians involved in 80s politics, from a Western perspective, arranged according to the rules of a classic Western movie poster i.e. the leading man’s name is written biggest, with the leading lady’s name second biggest. Smaller, underneath, are the main supporting actor’s names.
i.e…
Biggest: Ronald Reagan
Second biggest: Margaret Thatcher
Supporting biggest: Mikhail Gorbachev, Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, The Ayatollah Khomeini…
This could be a performance, an action, a video, a photograph, or all of them.
Using a flammable liquid or gel, a large pentagram (for example) is drawn on the floor, after dark. This is then set alight.
I have also imagined this as a potential series of ‘round iconography’ burns i.e. do the same with an anarchy symbol, C.N.D., a smiley etc.
