Artwork Evil Designs
Portfolio Entry
Who decides what is just?
Evil Design is a time-based artwork that combines symbolism and speech.
The action begins when I enter the stage carrying a black gym bag with an erased logo.
There is a map and some police tape.
The plastic, translucent police tape has three colours (white, black and red) which are recurring elements in my work.
I covered the map in black paint to resemble a switched-off screen.
Then, in white paint, I added the hashtags “Justice” and “Stronger”, symbolising the complexity of social structures and the search for facts.
The police tape, with its black, white, and red tones, represents the boundaries imposed by authority.
The chaotic unravelling and subsequent meticulous arrangement of the police tape reflects the struggle to navigate chaos and establish order in a post-factual system.
The audience hears a speech: a recitation of a quote by Plato: “Listen, I say that justice is nothing but the interest of the strongest.”
