Reality Show.
Español:
«La Política y la Economía mundial giran alrededor de lo que llamamos petróleo. Desde la desgarradora guerra de Irak hasta el agotamiento de Nigeria, todo para conseguir un único fin, el petróleo. Nosotros, el proletariado nos volcamos enseguida en ayudar a las víctimas de esta política de destrucción. Los piratas de otros países acuden en manada a nuevas zonas vírgenes en busca de reservas no explotadas de petróleo para finalmente, aprovechar del proletariado que se encuentra en apuros.
Mi obra titulada “The Reality Show” es una tentativa para destapar las políticas que giran alrededor del petróleo. Las cartas, la forma de vida de la hambrienta marina, las tierras sedientas, los grandes juegos de mesa son simplemente una manifestación de la verdad que se esconde detrás de la columna vertebral de este tema, el petróleo».
English:
«Global politics and economy is now pivoted around what we call Oil. Starting from the war-torn Iraq to the dried-up Nigeria – all lead to a single thing, Oil. We, the commoners are consequently turned into helpless victims of this politics of destruction. Pirates from distant lands are flocking to new pastures in search of unexplored oil reserves to eventually suck on the struggling common people.
My artwork titled “The Reality Show” is an attempt to reveal the Politics revolving around Oil. The cards, the starving marine life forms, the parched lands, the Board Game titans are all a mere symbolic manifestation of the Truth that lies behind this bone of contention, Oil».
