Safe European Homes - 2009
I made this montage to demonstrate the type of thing I am looking to produce. It pictures tourists at a gateway in Morocco. The images through the gateway are taken from a magazine article looking at the levels of violence and poverty in Africa.

I wanna be a frozen pea
I wanna be dehydrated
In a consumer society
