Changing the Subject
Elam MFA Graduation exhibition
Fired for insubordination from my first paid job, I came to an early appreciation of the play of power in the workplace. The understandings seeded in this experience developed into an interest in subjectivity within late capitalism and how the mythologies of neoliberalism play out in the field of labour. Intersecting the visual with the written and aural, this project uses materialised language within a multi-disciplinary practice that muses on possibilities for change. It refuses to draw utopianism to a close, sensing unrealised potential lying within everyday working life and suggests a political imagination beyond the notion that ‘there is no alternative’.
