Photography as political medium / political commentary…
Mediated persona as part of political performance.
“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. ”

I don’t know much about him except that I’ve read 2 of his books: 1984 & Animal Farm. Today’s society seems to evolve into some kind of perverted mixture of both societies described in his books.

I do adore Orwell, but on another hand I spent a good chunk of my younger years making lies sound truthful or only extending enough of the truth to not get into trouble – soooo…. it’s not just the politicians who do it, I think A LOT of us do it

But hopefully we’re not trying to make murder sound respectable…
