Description
from the artist's portfolio:
A black car drives along the road as night falls on an expressway; mounted on its roof is a blinking neon sign like those of circuses or casinos, with a question and an answer, albeit inconclusive: "No? Future!". No Future is ambiguous. The motto made famous by the Sex Pistols is radically changed here with punctuation transforming it into a dialogue aping the language of advertising to the point of absurdity, or conversely indicating a refusal to submit that escapes all possible
discourse. Different speech registers, some mutually contradictory, are overlaid: the fairground pitch, the hard sell, the official proclamation, the demonstrator's slogan, the military order, and the religious sermon.
