Amused to Death
Installation view
“Amused to Death” explores the common media discourse of sweetening war and violence through big mosaics done with well-known candies. The images used for this series of works are familiar to the imaginary of the viewer, but the material and colors from that material, add a new dimension to that iconography. Therefore, “Amused to Death” reflects on the usual Western criteria in receiving and transmitting the impersonal and distant drama of the highest degree of human violence, just as on our indifference- and consequently inhibition of all short of responsibility- through the media trivialization of war.
