I chose this image to represent my work as I feel out of all the images I digitally manipulated of the MP’s with sexual accusations against them, this one was the most effective in creating the feeling of discomfort. The blood red colouring and the strong glitches and the shadow of the glitches creates a sense of movement- like the photo has glitched right in front of you. Also the phrase/ words I used to suggest the background story are most powerful and suggestive in this piece.
On the 29th of October Mark Garnier- The ‘Partlimentary Under Secratary of State for international Trade’ admitted to calling his assistant “Sugar Tits” mulitple times and also admitted getting her to buy two vibrators for his wife from a sex shop in Soho.
By transforming and regressing his smiling headshots, taking them from something they should be proud of as they show who they are and their position in politics and their authority and obliterating them, completely disturbing them, using these headshots to reveal, not only an unprofessional, but darker, negative side of the person and the bad actions they have committed. By printing ‘Sugar Tits’ by his mouth and repeating it and overlaying it (like another glitch) like it is stuck on repeat creates the idea that this should not just be ignored, this is something he said and it should be revealed.
