Moral Dilemmas

| IMAGES | ABOUT | MAP |

Listahátíð í Reykjavík / Reykjavík Arts Festival
11 May – 1 June 2010
Information Kiosks, Reykjavík, Iceland

Instead of information in these information kiosks I have installed multiple-choice questions, the kind one might encounter on a psychological test created by a slightly crazy person. The questions and their answers attempt to provoke moral dilemmas—situations in which no answer is really acceptable. Above these impossible and uncomfortable proposals are images of CCTV cameras, a reminder that our choices (or the impossibility of even making a choice in this case) might be monitored for our own protection. These images will be up during the art festival and many people will rightly guess that they are art of some sort; however I hope that by not identifying them as such, some slight confusion might result.

Also part of the Reykjavík Arts Festival: DB's Inside Out in windows of the Reykjavík Art Museum, Hafnarhús, 12–19 May 2010.
