CARGO CULT
Akshuns for PIPAF, Manilla
Spiritual Bankruptcy and Freedom Deficit

The artist's present akshuns offer up images and mechanisms of contemporary reproduction & cultural collateral that parallel cargo cult phenomena.

Images may be appropriated from popular ideological representations, or, from the historicisation of the artists 'akshuns' presented as recontextualised and reconstituted rites. Dense multi layered strategies, interconnected histories, factiods, embellished incidents, simulated anthropological concerns, colonised moments, implanted memories.

Ethical, moral and cult[ural] recognition may be embedded in deception. The "...work of art often assumes the role of a trailer for a forthcoming event, or an event that is put off forever."
