PORTRAIT OF KARL MARX AS A YOUNG GOD

Something different? I don´t think so...
THE RETURN OF THE WITNESS
Ria PacquéeIn "The Return of the Witness" Ria Pacquée distils her concern for the passing infra-ordinary world into a series of probing contrasts between the chaotic thoroughfares of King’s Cross St Pancras and the barren railways lands nearby. “Following the crowd will lead you to destruction!” shouts a woman at Speakers’ Corner...
