risk @ssessment | |
 |
risk @ssessment presented a sceptical and playful reaction against the preponderant hegemony of blame and accountability that has flooded unchecked across geographic and political boundaries in the West. It questions the punitive emphasis on third party accountability and blame as provable entity, rather than its truer position as a floating, malleable locus. It embraces the stretchable, and subjective beauty of risk against the given concrete absolute of the foregone. It champions ambiguity and the blind maybe over the predictable.
600 sparkling cast resin objects including: football boot, Pentax SLR , mushroom, flowerpot, deodorant, light bulb, Lily, Yale lock, paracetamol blisterpack, calculator, bag of maltesers, torch, matchbox, condom, part of respirator mask, found dead bird, lobster claw.
