Cartoons and photography, photography and cartoons, colour, colour.
Photography refers to visual reality in a way no other medium can. The wildest flights of fancy, interpretations, misinterpretations, projections of meaning, failures of understanding, dreams, fancies or desires are grounded by the overwhelming force of physical reality.
With these things in mind Simon reaches into the world with interventions in colour and shape that that register the passing of man and his cruel and fearful temporary occupation of the world, personally and as a species.
And then Beanman distills the lot of the Everyman to simple shapes with the message written on the surface. I hope we can all suffer victory and defeat with his equanimity.
