Gum-on-Thames
British artist Erman Kaplama (London School of Economics and Political Science: MSc Political Theory) asks whether we’re really changing as the new millennium unfolds (this image, and others, are from November 2005). She does this by photography of Thames-Path (you can see and read more about her work here). On her website, she writes:
Are we really changing? Yes, we are continuously constructing and reconstructing everything, yes, we now have trees always staying green and yes, we have lights brilliantly illuminating, but, are we really changing? When we are still looking at the colossal bridges and huge ships staying on the river…when there are chewing gums stuck on our eye-catching colorful lane, and when we are pursuing our tradition of leaving, are we really changing?
Pictured above is her image of said (and stuck) chewing gum from Thames-Path…
