The exhibition confuses degrees of failure and success in order to unsettle hegemonic narratives. The failure here addresses themes of politics, nationhood, religion and morality. The exhibition speaks through the most personal and private of gestures and interventions. It is emblematic of a position/attitude of complacency. A nearly willful, blissful ignorance is created through a censoring of opinion, refracting through rose-coloured glasses. It is the curated news feeds and the blind eye; the double edge of hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil. Speaking to an undercurrent of inaction, the show draws attention to the hypocritic idea of security/safety and how it plays and fails. It challenges the normative and suggests a reformation of the status quo.
