This work explores the perspective of the viewer, with original and found text. Some text was appropriated from Read’s Art and Alienation (1967) and Osborne’s Anywhere or not at all (2013). The somewhat monotone voiceover suggests that a script is being read. I think that this is successful because the physical viewer of the work is made aware that the script is written. Therefore, the viewer must decide the extent to which the voiceover is true or false.
However, the formal imagery within this work needs to be improved. I think Art is opinion (2016) is successful by itself, but the addition of the voiceover is rather authoritative for the viewer, almost telling them what to believe instead of letting them reach their own conclusion. Perhaps a contradictory formal aspect will confuse and entice the viewer, so this is something that I must consider and conceptualise because art should offer a solution, not just present the problem (although art being opinion is what all should realise).
