Inaction is a Weapon of Mass Destruction

28 October 2022 - 4 December 2022

Inaction is a Weapon of Mass Destruction is an art project meant to shed light on the mediatic processes utilised to spread information about war and its effects on the viewer.

The work reflects the artist’s preoccupation with the fabrication, editing and twisting of information people outside the conflict zone might be subjected to. The dangers arising from this are very serious as they might severely impact public opinion on matters of humanitarian aid and military intervention based on falsities or half-truths. The project is meant to provoke viewers with a number of analytical, ironic, and at times, cynical works based on factual, fictional images and theoretical work. Different experts from journalism, film, art, education and the military fields will also contribute to the project in a number of talks and workshops.

Date and Time: Wednesday 2nd November, 7pm
Inaction is a Weapon of Mass Destruction is an art project meant to shed light on the mediatic processes utilised to spread information about war and its effects on the viewer.

The Military Aspect

Tour + Discussion Thursday 10th November 2022, 7pm

This project is based upon the artist’s subjective point of view which is in itself a ‘biased’ stand point. For the sake of objectivity, for whatever that may mean, an expert who used to work in the army, will be sharing his knowledge about war and conflict and how this is mediated to the public outside of the war zone. This knowledge will hopefully shed light on the artist’s own artworks and his interpretation of such events.
