Abjection...

A parody game involving different identities was the starting point for this work which reaches out beyond the art world using the familiar distribution channels of street culture and mass media. In their earlier work Holzer and Knight used ironic extremes in order to imbue them with a sense of sub-cultural content. This works best, as in this case, where the division between sense and intellect is blurred; providing an imaginary stage for the activity of escape.
