Disconnected: Your Smile in This Crowd

Technique: collage, mixed Size: 50x70

This work is the first part of the new series Disconnected. It's going to be a couple of works depicting modern society. Your Smile in This Crowd was inspired by concerts I'd been to. Sometimes I'm afraid that people are no longer able to enjoy the show without recording it and sharing it in social media. I can't imagine how the 'crowd of mobile phones' looks from the perspective of an artist, that's why I used for this collage the lyrics from Martin Gore's song Smile in the Crowd. And I tried to imagine the modern crowd as bodies with phones instead of real faces.
