The scratched out image of a crashed airship from the 1930s stands in as a metaphor for our civilization. The largest and most luxurious ship of its day, the R101 crashed on its maiden voyage at a drastically slowed speed of 21 kph, killing 85% of the people on board and effectively signaling the end of airship transportation. The subtractive image of the airship’s skeleton rests on a canvas of road signs in a back-to-back interplay of visual language regarding social anxieties and cultural regulations. The large scale and sombre form alludes to other cultural markers such as memorials, monoliths and movie screens.
