Demijohn Bonbonne

Year: 2016
Technique: RGB LED, mannequin heads, fake sunglasses, spray paint, demijohns

A demijohn is a bonbonne. Girl squad. The thirteen apostles. Beheading squad. Did the Saviour create misogyny? A girl washed His feet. With tears and her own locks. Sunglasses lock the tears. Not the hair. The veils hide the hair. Cover. Uncover. Girl power stands in the long hair. Wachowski style. Where is the girl power? The Wachowski brother is now a sister. Shock face. Sunglasses face.

The Boko Haram men kidnap girls. They hide the girls. They marry and rape the girls. Eventually they kill them. Not all. The disobedient ones. The natural way of nature. Emotionless. Silent. Break the demijohns. The Great New Prohibition. No alcohol. Alcohol free nights. Lights in their eyes. They need no alcohol to rape. The courage comes from their faith. The men’s healthy faith.  Before the beheading. Iced eyes. Execution style. Post reality show style. Post selfie. Post social media. Post pose. A nationless belief. A class group photo. Don’t move. Say cheese. Headless is the new black.
