I feel intrigued by situations and circumstances which seem to be accepted as a natural progression by our society.
Globalised consumerism, entertainment industries, democratic standards, political orientations, preset aesthetic values and rapid technological progress are just a few examples, which have become a fixture of our everyday life.
I’m especially interested in how these progressions often seem to be perceived as the supporting pillars of our society’s identity.
However, on closer examination, I think these pillars can hold subtle irregularities, which seem to be unapproachable for a broad public at first, but which might have significant impact in the long run.
An intellectual, open-minded person might be able to recognize and feel intrigued by these irregularities, but this can’t be expected from the general public, which is predominantly in control of representing a society and also reluctant towards radical changes most of the time.
As a consequence of this, rather conservative and traditional ways of thinking, unforeseeable developments — no matter if they stand for a positive or negative change — can create misunderstandings, mistrust, and in the worst case, fear.
I’d like to make people aware of those illusive supporting pillars. I’d like to encourage people’s questioning, observing and a more mature perception of those pillars, no matter how integrated they appear in our society.
Not to avoid the possibility of irregularity, which is not possible anyway, but rather to see it as a potential or opportunity.
