The Administration of Fear

Fear has become an environment in our society. Wars, catastrophes and epidemics are no longer localized and limited by a certain timeframe. Fear has become the world we live in. These events are a part of our everyday live and become synchronized in seconds by mass media. Fear is a political instrument which manifests itself in thoughts about security and protection from possible events. In Administration of Fear I try to transform this fears by creating such a dreaded event. What you see is a staged catastrophe with real live emotions. The radio or phone was manipulated and the people in the picture thought there was a nuclear accident, a beginning of a war or simply losing a job. Staging gets real for a second because of fiction.
