I am working on a new screen while developing and discussing alternative possibilities for further investigation.
My new concept titled after a primary source photograph of a drink: “A cocktail called Porn Star”. It is a symbol of the ultimate wealth and opulence, top-of-the-range experience of celebration, delectation with a complex flavour and a high class degustation experience. It is also a metaphor for a false high social status, meaningless aspirations and an empty desires.
The sandwiching of unnecessary wealth and absolute poverty may appear to be relatively crude and obvious. However, life is full of “right-in-your-face” contradictions and contrasts, which frequently amuse, shock and overwhelm witnesses. The layering technique, which I am trying to experiment with, allows for a smoother blending of both contradictory perspectives, while initiating a moral dialogue and forcing the element of questioning. Subsequently, any observer is forced to reflect on the most crucial dilemma of human existence: what is right and what is wrong . It is a form of the ultimate appraisal of human morality and breakdown of the bases of our virtuous spine of social rules, doctrines and principles.
