Mass-media, the most powerful gun in the world.

Newspapers understand the world better. The whole planet depicted. A huge gathering of different articles. Pictures as proof. Wars, victims, shame and guilt. Mass media newspapers represent a profitable reality in itself. Mass media follow chaos because it sells. They turn this chaos into a new classified order. Precise columns flattened by headlines like advertising quotes, obscene journalistic pictures besides; a very powerful thing.

I ‘censor’ every day. I’s how I start the day. I love to work with newspapers. It’s like spiritual warfare. Fascination and protest go hand in hand like breathing. I just follow the narrative of erasure.
