Adam Curtis
Project summary:

I examine the materials of mass media, not to find a true self, but to explore subjectivization inside the boundaries of modern culture. By manipulating materials that feed into contemporary culture I seek to reveal their function within society. I aim to challenge a belief in a core true self; whether or not one exists.

Producing multi-channel installations, where hypnotic imagery seduces and entices the viewer into a world constructed entirely from mass media. This experience of how the viewers navigate themselves through the myriad of information is comparable to how we navigate the symbolic order.

My footage is subjected to labor-intensive processes of editing and re-working, weaving together sequences and narratives. Working with music, film and television footage from the past 60 years. I feel appropriated footage embodies the symbolic order; a construct that allows for freedom only within its boundaries. By manipulating the fabric of the symbolic order, I explore how we may influence the world around us.
