Stockholm Syndrome Collaborative Collages with Cameron Poole

-
Where has the potential for change gone? How does a body perform its way out of a definitional framework that is not only responsible for its very “construction” but seems to prescript every possible signifying and countersignifying move from a repertoire of possible permutations on a limited set of predetermined terms? (Massumi, Parables for the Virtual)





Cameron Poole has created digital assemblages from his engagement with the episode’s of Stockholm Syndrome as I released them over the first half of this year. They replay the films as simple shimmering tapestries and enliven my own understanding. Cameron’s collages act as lobby cards for those who feel emboldened enough to dive into the film’s vortex of lockdown to catch hold of a recurring form and resurface in non-bifurcated euphoritopia.

Blood and brambles Bloody Shambles Cameron gambles On Hardline angles "its criminality undiluted" Nations youths have been poluted And while economy takes a tumble I'm at home making blackberry crumble Filled with fruits harvested in scrubland Behind Sainsbury's full of thorns and Smelt of decaying vegetation Seemed emblematic of the nation Made my young son feel ill at ease Paths ill defined,shapes in the trees Such physical pursuits to him Seem unnecessary and alien I tell myself it does him good As any self-respecting father would Hands made for grasping a controler Each bramble scratch will make him wholer But now its my hands that are stained With crimson juices - fear I've refrained From doing this when he was younger And somehow bred one more war-monger But thorny pricks upon my skin Convince me I should not give in. Who needs another liberal deserter In face of national inertia? Instead of always asking why? Perhaps we should
