Concept:

‘Headlies’ is a text and visual project that uses real newspaper headlines but the stories beneath them are fabricated and fictional. Newspapers often take sides and we, the reader, judge on humanity from its text and photograph. From the newspaper’s perspective, access to public information is a good thing but a newspaper’s function surely is to tell the society about itself and to be a pollinator of its information? Its role is to inform the citizens but as information gradually travels down, the citizens become ill-advised, ill-prepared and mis-informed.


Sick of the City laws? Why not run a post office in Antarctica?

Relatives of the prisoners from the island of Guhanta who have been condemned for helping their loved ones from escaping have been given a choice. Join them, go to the army or run a post office in Antarctica. It seems that the third is the most popular and yet the most bizarre choice. Authorities in Antarctica have coerced with postal officials from many countries which have low literacy and numeracy levels and formed a main postal system for those countries. Postal officials say that it is a wise idea because it will give many people jobs and instead of applying heavy laws to people who have done petty crimes, they can be useful by helping a global system.
