Why does the present sometimes feel like a deteriorated future? Or maybe a vision of the future that has exhausted itself? Or maybe instead of going on for 1,000 words, we could simply look to the pictures of Scott Listfield. Here’s more from JUXTAPOZ:
“Are you feeling stressed or anxious? Has the erosion of democracy and the feeling of impending societal collapse got you down? Are you tired of technological solutions no one asked for? Worn out by end stage capitalism? Sick of social media? Billionaires? Traffic? War? The Supreme Court? Well then, have I got just the thing for you! My next solo show, Oh, Dystopia, a show about finding beauty in the end of things, opens Saturday, August 24th at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles. Friends, let’s go off into the end times together. We’ll frolic amongst the leftover bits of our civilization: Crumbling skyscrapers! Partially destroyed machines! Piles of trash! A giant donut! Sad robots! The remains of a sunburnt Earth! We’ll leave our names on a broken building and hope that our distant ancestors find it one day and remember us. It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.” —Scott Listfield
