Deconstruction of America / Mike Campau

Mike Campau是一名从不在社会化媒体上讨论政治的艺术家，私下里，他和他的朋友们也不讨论这方面的话题，因为其常常导致激烈的争论，甚至会伤害彼此的感情。最终，他决定用影像来述说自己的观点。无论是保守派还是自由派的美国公民，都同意美国存在一些重大问题，比如政府腐败，司法不严，饮食不良，夺眼球的Youtube风行，而大家对仇恨犯罪和大规模射杀型犯罪的现实也表现得越来越麻木和冷漠。

Mike Campau无意辨明谁对谁错，他只是想要唤起人们的紧迫感，在一切无法挽回前有所行动。

树木被砍伐，被雕刻，被木炭化，闪着火星直至变成一片黑寂。
    ” I never talk politics on social media (or even with friends) as it usually leads to a heated discussion, hurt feelings, and a few “F” bombs.  So, I decided to convey my thoughts through images. Whether you are liberal or conservative, we can all agree there are some major problems facing our country right now. Everything from government corruption, broken justice system, religion (or lack there of), poor diet and nutrition, the shock value “look at me” YouTube generation, and how we have all become desensitized and almost apathetic in our response to hate crimes and mass shootings. I’m not here to get on a soap box and say who is right or wrong, but to invoke a sense of urgency to make a change before it’s beyond repair.
 
The images use a visual metaphor of a living tree being cut down, disassembled into logs, and burned to the point where it has little to no value.  (photography + CGI) “
