Alienated Boredom (2016)

The work explores the notion of alienation and boredom from the perspective of the artist and art-viewer. There is a visual contrast of ideological questions that an educational institution would pose. The voiceover is a combination of my own text and appropriated text (mainly Art and alienation, Herbert Read; Anywhere or not at all, Peter Osborne). The work intends to create an overlap or blurring between the voice of the viewer and the artist, but distinct voices have been used to highlight their difference in roles. For the viewer, they are presented with the work so it becomes the viewer hearing the viewer and the artist, whilst confronted by the institution.
