NeW YorK Nightmare

by Artist Anonymous 1

In remembrance of...

9

The last time I was in New York I had a terrible dream: I stood at the window and saw two planes approaching the hotel I was staying in. They came closer and closer and I freezed. I awoke in anguish.

The next day I heard that a lot of NY citizens have the same kind of nightmares. And that others, every time they look up and see an airplane approaching, still get feelings of unease.

Therefor this artwork.

In remembrance of those who were inside and didn't come out alive.

For the firemen, the policemen, the men and women who worked there, the by-standers, the relatives, the citizens who cannot forget.

Prisoners and their families are held in lifelong detention.

The prisoners are mostly people who have criticized the government. They are often imprisoned together with their whole family including children and family members.

All prisoners are detained there until they die. They are never released. No former prisoner from this camp is known to have escaped from North Korea.

According to former guard Ahn Myong-chol there were about 50,000 prisoners at Camp 22. Recently it has been reported that 27,000 prisoners died of starvation between March and June 2012. The surviving prisoners would have been relocated to Hwasong concentration camp. Still nothing is not sure.

So far there is no news from Camp 22 yet.

How would you look at this picture if we told you that it was a photo taken by Francis Bacon (the painter)? And how would you react if you read that it’s the work of Jonathan Jones, just graduated from artschool? Has the name and fame of an artist any influence on your opinion about an art work?

We don't want to influence you too much, that is the reason we have left out the names of the artists in this catalogue. Let the work speak for itself. And - at the end - if you are interested in a work of any of the artists do not hesitate to contact us: xraylab@ziggo.nl In Fearful Anticipation
