Human Shields
 

This is a political piece , a group of portraits taken from life or stock photos
Placed upon rifle range targets. The paintings on board have been mounted
In frames like a funfair attraction. The audience have the opportunity to shoot the targets
With Nerf guns and if they succeed in knocking over the targets , win a stencilled art print. The targets only topple if the background soldier , not the foreground civilian is hit.
My intention is to create a performance , with a traditional funfair barker in straw hat, shouting “ROLL UP ROLL UP! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TRY YOUR SKILL ON THE HUMAN SHEILD SHOOTING GALLERY” ETC.
