I'm guessing this doesn't work on mobiles - you see something else when you run a mouse over it. Terrific mischievous project - "Yes, some people's behaviour at the memorial site is indeed disrespectful. But the victims are dead, so they're probably busy doing dead people's stuff rather than caring about that"

well, no.
selfie culture, whilst ubiquitous, is a plague banalising reality.
memorials are always for living people-to not care is one thing, but guess these folks didn't give much thought other than as a banal ego centred holiday snap

revisited site and seen hidden selfie.
still think this a banalisation (which is not to critique these folks as being pro Nazi, but to critique them for banalising the power of the Nazi act (which can be seen as good or bad as according to your pro or anti Nazi beliefs).

Can't really say that I'm too fond of her artwork, but her subject matter is both equally appealing and appalling...

I like the way her art looks, she mentions Mikko Aspa as one of her favorite living artists in the Interview magazine piece on her...

the anti paedophile stance is the epitome of liberal decency.
after a long working week of being liberal decency incarnate, I long to be the antithesis, hence wallowing in the waters here.
so, these artworks annoy as much as engage.
I am aware that others don't get this-ordinary folk, like the neighbour who taped my post stressful workday rant out of my flats window whilst bladdered, to comment on the driving skills of a black female in cheap, common racist terms.(stupid fucking nigger for those interested)
it only occurred to me how wrong others see this when a posse of local multicultural youth turned up to get the 'Nazi'.
aware this will be equally/more at home in the pc/butthurt thread.
