Global collapse ? WWIII ? - (Venice Biennale 2011)

[2011-08-14]
[Venice Biennale seen through the prism of global collapse]
A selection of glimpses, biased, open to geopolitical (mis)interpretation. [if it's too cryptic or meaningless, you'll find a possible interpretation below, step by step].

Apparently, I've heard too many discourses about injustice, tyranny, current wars and imminent US or global collapse... (on channels like tenebroust, cgreen34, newamericanow, russiatoday, ...) ...

:-)

That's probably why, while visiting the Venice Art Biennale, I couldn't help but interpreting various art works in this way, often abusively. Here is the result, with some exaggeration. (sounds : unmodified or suppressed).

[the art works featured in this video were found in the "Giardini" or in the "Arsenale" (exception : "pimp my planet"); names of artists and works should be found in the catalogue or in the "iBiennale" application].

I've been told that no interpretation was apparent : too cryptic. So, here is a possible interpretation :
- intro (standard views of Venice) ;
- USA and allies : their brutal force will be turned upside down ;
- China / Mao : the new model ;
- US soldier covered in blood / shots into clean mirrors : western powers creating wars, sending their people to kill and die ;
- numerous countries in disarray (flag poles in disorder, no flag remains, child cries) :
- Greece sold out : financial mismanagement leads to the selling out of various countries ;
- Deus (god / DeUS / The US) is shaping and reshaping the world to make it "better", as a result, the US will be downsized by their own behaviour ;
- DeUS (God / The US) is disappearing and its spirit flies off ; a kind of little american eagle flies off ;
- an imperialist eagle has become a seagull and is now much more shy than before ;
- poorly waving blue flag (UNO blue, a bit lighter than NATO blue) and jelly-shaky throne : western controlled global organisations (UNO / NATO) will be in disarray ; or UNO is as dull as ever, instead of being a true, equitable, international regulator ;
- western man burns from inside (because of its too brilliant strategy / intelligence / philosophy ?), melts down, and falls shattered to the floor;
- trying to reshape white man : mass production of baby white men ;
- the result : more of white sheeple that go in circles, all alike, no future ;
- Garibaldis and italian flag : created all alike and nationalistic ;
- iron warriors in good order, some differences on their faces, but all are empty behind their faces : so brainwashed that nothing remains inside !
- antique warrior's helmet : falling, empty and ruined ; western warrior gone away ;
- 2 war ships : rusting, exploding and sinking ;
- an pseudo (?) Aztec codex describes the end result of war and conquest : destruction and slavery told in Nahuatl ;
- earth destroyed ;
- white (super)man is wondering where he has made a mistake ;

actually, I only pieced together a few glimpses covering ~0.01% of the exhibition.

you'll find a real coverage on channels like labiennaletv, henrichy0205yt, sognoelektra.
