Krzysztof Wodiczko : The Abolition of War

19 Oct 2011-14 Jan 2012

Overview

Krzysztof Wodiczko is internationally renowned for his politically charged, large-scale public projections and ongoing series of designs for personal communication instruments and survival vehicles. Central to his practice is the exploration of social and political marginalisation, and the creation of suitable platforms for alienated and excluded communities to “develop their shattered abilities to communicate” and testify about their personal experiences. The projects featured in The Abolition of War bring into focus the post-traumatic condition experienced by returning soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan.
