Losing My Religion - Part 3 - The Beginning of the End PHILIP RICHARDS
(Losing my Religion – meaning - "losing one's temper or civility")
Part 3 is a collection of my observations and thoughts that I experienced as I wander through these strange and testing times. Again!
As a continuation from the previous shows, which highlighted an Orwellian dystopian nightmare, intertwined with Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’, Part three relates to Religion, Technological manipulation, control and the price of progress, along with reflecting the past.
With the age of progress, are we stepping into the darker aspects of contemporary society, where the relentless pursuit of profit and power dehumanizes individuals and commodifies life itself. This exhibition explores the complex interplay between pharmaceutical profits, corporate takeovers, perpetual warfare, and the reduction of people to mere commodities, while deforestation and mass-pollution is taking place before our very eyes. Are we at the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning?
