In Control

Title: In Control
Artist: Anne de Vries
Year: 2022

Dimensions: Variable
Materials: Fencing, prints on vinyl

Description: Banners on the fencing advertise fictitious future events, featuring real locations and dates. It remains unclear whether these events signal a revolution or a party. The visuals, inspired by flyers for Tekno, Hardcore, and Bondage events, form a layered collage. Upon closer inspection, the locations reveal themselves as the headquarters of some of the world’s most environmentally destructive corporations.

Exhibited at: Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem
