  3. Part of the solo show, the armour sits suspended above ground – discharged from duty – even if momentarily.

     

    The work is an companion piece to a video piece (Bringing a Poem to a Gunfight) that complicate the relationship of armours with their wearers and bodies. The work puts forth the two parallel inquiries within the corpus on movement, visibility, control and identity. It inquires whether public safety automatically translates to nation building by the way of safety through (hyper)militarization.
