Description of the work
Description of the work
I reworked scenes from the Rome riots of several years ago, combining them with those of the attack on anti-Gelmini students by right-wing extremists and various riots perpetrated by the Black Block. The background is a montage of my photographs, taken in downtown Montreal, to which I applied various words and phrases. In the foreground, a dozing girl, with a chip on her forehead—a parody of the Illuminati's Third Eye—witnesses the total chaos surrounding her, which she despises. A young man, reminiscent of "Er Pelliccia," is throwing a fire extinguisher at Sleeping Beauty, trying to rouse her from her disinterest, but he seems only to attack the riot police officers behind her. Like superheroes for sale, most of the police officers and troublemakers are identified by barcodes. All this takes place under a sky dotted with law enforcement helicopters, deployed to quell the riot.
