The exhibition, titled ‘The Other Side: Ten Years after the Referendum,’ is currently on view at Pentagram’s Osh Gallery in London.
The video begins with a faceless performer wearing a mask of former British prime minister David Cameron. Standing in front of a crinkled white sheet, the performer begins to slowly feed pages of a book into a paper shredder, letting the machine’s whir serve as the video’s only sound. The process continues for five minutes, and the mask changes five times, from Cameron to Theresa May and Boris Johnson. By the end of the part-comical, part-unsettling performance, the book has been reduced to a pulp.
