This site-specific installation muses on notion of the inevitability of accidents, and how the crashes that surround us are far from accidental. Whether the crash be Climate Change, Grenfell Tower, Putin, Trump,  war, terrorism, inequality, housing, incompetent governments; we see the Crash coming.

On the one hand it is not accidental, but on the other we seem unable to do anything about it. Rabbits caught in the headlight of the Tower of Babel.

This piece is an anamorphic work, in which there is only one viewing position in which the text snaps in to position. When looking from any other angle (side to side) the text is a mess. Looking through the flashing “viewing hole” you can read it.

An artwork is begun by the Artist and completed by the audience. An entry point for the viewer.
