Trust Me, I Have Nothing to Hide, 2011 Each suitcase measures: 45 x 55 x 17 cm. A
suitcase made out of sanded, transparent acrylic sheeting with an
enclosed transparent acrylic sheet containing mounted and red mirrored
acrylic letters.
Each suitcase contains the text in one of 7 languages: English, Russian, French, Chinese, German, Spanish and Arabic.
In
2011 I sent one of the suitcases from this series to the United States.
US Custom's agents there opted against removing two small holding
screws to force open and damaged the sculpture...even though they could
see inside without opening it. The surveillance and monitoring of millions is a daily reality. |
