It took longer than I had predicted for everyone to stop caring about Joseph Kony/Kony 2012.
Note: The second spike is due to Jason Russell’s public meltdown and not anything having to do with Kony himself.
Mural made out of 450,000 staples. Part of artist Baptiste Debombourg’s Aggravure series. Inspired be the classic story of Icarus and drawings from 16th century engravers.
The recurring theme in these paintings revolves around the collapse that resonates with staples. Here the staple is a material and a media that plays with contemporary aggression and daily life’s secular usefulness - BD
