“It’s important to me that a work is doing what it says it’s doing” PB

 

we talk about:

  • heritage
  • erasure of culture
  • introducing oneself
  • levels of social invisibility
  • otherness
  • writing practise
  • not villianising your foe
  • direct contact with war artifacts and their lasting imprints on landscape
  • confrontation
  • being a curator
  • working within institutions
  • “i’ve never prescribed to the idea that there is an end to a question” – PB
  • decolonising oneself
  • to usurp capitalism
  • being connected to history through objects
