London 2003
The book of madness is based on Wilhelm Reich’s book, ‘The Mass Psychology of Fascism’, and on the art of the officially insane.
The work on propaganda made me aware of how we are being manipulated all the time, everywhere. I wanted to share my discoveries, but soon I realised that the subject made people uneasy and also that this was not news to them. ‘That's the way it is’, most of them said. This made me begin to suspect that we somehow must agree, deep down, and probably without accepting it to ourselves, with the status quo. Manipulating the information alone is not enough to affect an individual if a psychological structure that allows this to happen is not present in the individual already. I thouhgt this was madness, and I decided to look at the art of the officially insane for inspiration to express it visually.
