Capital explores the darker elements of human nature via the ever popular flat screen TV that commands seemingly benign living spaces. It draws attention to the exploitation necessary for Western culture to acquire and maintain its affluence; the very privilege evident in the spaces photographed.

Since the invention of mechanical imaging, all photographic, cinematic and digital technologies have strived for greater resolution, delivered with greater speed. We want the world reproduced with pristine clarity, in front of our eyes immediately. What is behind our desire for such a large gorgeous image, our obsession with richer colours and the mega density of pixels?

Capital’s juxtaposition of images – struggle amidst comfort – illuminates the massive imbalance of power that is at the core of so much global suffering. Is there a dilemma in watching difficult pictures from a relatively easy vantage point?

* Some explicit imagery. Suitable for mature audiences only.
