Jimmy
Cauty, artist and former member of late 80s band KLF, discusses his most recent
work, a 1:87 scale model of a dystopian London, where grim tower blocks stand
inbetween looted and vandalised fast food outlets and damaged public property.
The only people in this scene are police in hi-vis jackets, surveying the scene
as if in bewilderment. All trace of what we assume must have been crowds of
out-of-control rioters and demonstrators is gone. Only the damage and slogans
daubed on walls remains. The scene is made eerie by its realistic medium and by
the timing of the scene. The clock stands still as we, the viewers try to
imagine what could have happened, and what will happen next.
