![Carnage, Catastrophe and Complicity: The planet cooking inside a BBQ grill
Carnage, Catastrophe and Complicity is inspired by Nick Cave’s White Elephant [lyrics | video], a 60cm | 24in diameter mirror in a black steel frame uses a backdrop of dead or harvested animal images—e.g. pork slaughterhouse, big game hunter trophy photos, stacked bison skulls—with images of war and pollution, with only the center of the mirror’s image field uncovered. The viewer looks through a deep, metal dome (a recycled BBQ grill—a metaphor for a planet being cooked) fastened to the mirror’s perimeter, and spots themselves in the crosshairs of a hunting rifle, amidst the carnage. Several excerpts from Pope Francis’ 2015 Encyclical Letter are included.
