Thursday Idea blog #7

In attempting to figure out where i'm going with the other less lethal weapons in my projects i've been considering how they relate to the objects used by protest groups against institutions, buildings and representatives of state power. Maybe a side by side comparison of relating objects in diptych form would be a good way to present them. paint bombs or glitter grenades compared to tear gas, gas masks to bandannas, whip cream pies compared to pepper spray, signs to batons. One image contrasting the vibrant colors and energy of actions such as funk the war against the dark and more uniform color palette of the police force.
