"Petites miseres de la vie humaine" from Simone's Diary



One of the photographs by AES art group
(Tatiana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovich, Evgeny Svyatsky) that were censored before the opening of the exhibition Veil - see inIVA press information (below).

Walsall Council ban photographs
from the inIVA's press release:

... photographs by the Moscow-based AES art group will not be shown at the insistence of Walsall Borough Council, who, fearing an incitement of violence, have deemed them too controversial given the current political climate. The photographs form part of a series titled The Witnesses of the Future: Islamic Project in which images of well-known buildings from Western capitals are digitally manipulated to add details from Muslim countries. The censored images show a veiled Statue of Liberty with a copy of the Quran in hand and the Houses of Parliament with the domed roof of a mosque. In fact the censored series of photographs aim to ridicule the idea of an inevitable and cataclysmic confrontation between different cultures, challenging our fears and presumptions about the world. They were made in 1996 and since then have been exhibited widely in galleries, public sites and over the Internet.

Editors' Note
We will keep updating the theory section on Ideologies of Noise with new material, until the next issue. This is so as to make the theory section more active and substantial. We hope to have a new dynamic layout ready for our next issue, in order to host even more projects and information.
