Decoding Dictatorial Statues
Decoding Dictatorial Statues
This book’s choice of colours instigated considerable dispute among the jury members. One of us initially did not choose it because of its colour. Another jury member chose it precisely because of it. Some of us were disappointed with the insufficient ‘blackness’ of the ink. Others appreciated its grey tones. Decoding Dictatorial Statues is exactly what its title suggests, an image-based research of the visual language of famous dictators monuments. The political beliefs of the majority of them made one of us comment: ‘At least it’s not red’. When it comes to the black ink possibly being insufficient, we tended to agree on reasons for it: greyness does not only adequately represent most statues being made of concrete, but also, symbolises life lived under dictatorship.
