RESISTANCE IS NOT TERRORISM!

‘48 Activists with quote from Wim Wenders’ is part of a larger body of work that explores the implication of The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act and which aims to defy it. Covert political actions are staged and the camera used simply as a recording device of the more important actions that take place. The use of photography, by the State, is here examined and re-appropriated in an act of defiance and empowerment. Each mugshot is in itself an illegal protest within the exclusion zone.

This work was on display at Document 5 and is available as a limited edition poster directly from Street Level. It addresses directly the issue that a fear of ‘terrorism’ has become the justification for an array of measures which undermine basic freedoms, and that through the SOCPA laws have eroded rights to freedom of speech and expression - the principles upon which democracy is built.

The poster size is 35cm x 59cm and comes rolled in a cardboard tube. It is available free from the gallery for postage only.
