Dream Repeater: Utopia
“In the dream there’s a baseball field, and on the other side is Utopia, where everyone has enough money for whatever they want, whatever they need. My brother and his friends, they get some sticks and go over to utopia and they beat people up.”
Collected in Boone NC, 2012
This exhibition explores the themes of powerlessness, class, anger and wealth.
