it's clear connection to my my memories when i was a child seeing the news and when they did they would follow on like. ten seven fifteen disappears you know people that were disappeared during dictatorship in these mass graves and he was a gigantic call on the ground you know so when i saw the pieces on the floor i said wow this is this is this is like that this is it is is more like a connection to the people who died in the twin towers rather rather than just a connection to the to the footprint of the pieces when my base of have a political comment is because by connecting different objects and different context or different pieces of history you create a narrative and the narrative is socially connected to political issues i think it's important to be political and it's important to protest and it's
10:31 am
important to think art can change the world but it is a slow process you know that's what i always think and that and i think a spirit for you not to think that it might take two hundred years for your piece to be. part of. the change will be but little by little the next objects mission looks not only transportation failing to post nine eleven but you should to potential human rights abuses that came with ever growing state control i want to cap phillips cannot fill it to studio to oscar about their peach head of state by two thousand and seven. a lot of legislation was being changed very rapidly like domestic legislation. by blair's government. and a lot of it was curtailed ng civil rights the right to protest. there
10:32 am
was a lot of increase in police surveillance of civil groups. and we were very much as citizens as artists and very much the general public so all these issues were. very big on our sort of list of inspirations of what's networked so the piece is very much about challenge or a natural. disaster that had unfolded in iraq from the invasion and the ongoing up patients and how it also impacted on british domestic public the world is made up of newspapers printed on print and and newspapers. and all of the imagery and all the figurative imagery is also from press photographers so we were trolling through endless. image files that were coming out
10:33 am
of the news agencies which is what we've been doing in the previous many folks we're going to rock and this time we were looking a lot at what was happening domestically the same time and we were looking at. imagery of prisons because the prison services are being rapidly privatized as well before us military contractors and private security sector was on the rise massively. we were looking at those a lot of. development in surveillance technology at that time as well. which we were trying to look at but it's quite is quite hidden thing is well there's a big c.c.t.v. camera that sort of sprung in the middle of the work of three meters by three meters in the future. mass with c.c.t.v. cameras coming up there's also individuals in the john childs the man is.
10:34 am
he was murdered. by the british police without any apology and his staff follows straight after the what they call the seven seven bombings in london that was in two thousand and five. and his death is kind of like evidence of the the disaster of intelligence being built as of i mean in a panicked way so this was the pieces were representing the destructive nature of reactionary reactive behavior by the authorities and you could say the same thing about the u.s. response to nine eleven as well reactive this. is ended in such a huge monumental the ongoing unfolding disaster that we're still in. the long terror ever meet a valid killing machine with a reported fifteen thousand civilians killed by american drones around the world i
10:35 am
spoke to jim bricks in mexico about why he depicted a drone on an afghan rug the predator h.r.h. years ago i was interested. in on a comment. kind of really distancing the experience of war is something that struck me initially when i was a kid watching the gulf war and it was kind of this televised made for t.v. war footage of just these crosshairs and targets and so i began investigating how to make how to make it into a carpet because i saw the carpet as being something that were. representative of. social history and the culture of. the middle east and specifically iran and afghanistan so i began researching how to make these carpets but in two dozen thirteen i had a chance actually traveled to afghanistan and i made contact was in garbage makers you know this is years later so drones are just now i'm sure it's the scene and i
10:36 am
decided to work with that as a scene i came across a chart that depicted all the drones currently in use by the militaries across the world and i began discussing with the car the makers as to how to how to transform that into from a graphic that's on computer screen into something that's actually had made how do the people of afghanistan feel about the drones the your the page thing well when we did interviews in two thousand and thirteen and when i returned to their teen. i don't speak dari that i like to speak there now working with translators and listening to the videos i mean people war is is unfortunate part of their their daily lives. you know so i think what was surprising to me. was the opinions about americans about the u.s. you know in in in the united states like the kind of liberal position is that it's an invasion in afghanistan it's not seen that way certainly in the south in the
10:37 am
pashtun areas that it's there's a lot of just like towards towards united states but also i think you know your people are trying to make a meeting might have a very different opinion you know people who are farming the land people who're. making these cards you were making other crafts they were there just trying to survive and you know if their religious suddenly invaded by or turned into a training camp for the taliban you know the drones are actually a good thing so i think it's important to kind of realize the complexity of the place and. yet it that the u.s. senate runs that have come in our innocence in this but i think in general ward seen is that you know some people don't like the imagery because it reminds them of the constant conflict their countries don't and since the late seventy's the final theme of the exhibition not only looks at the destruction of thousands of homes by nato was in the middle east but the mental and physical damage done to the soldiers
