Artists Statment
“I created Pandemonia from mass media imagery, then fed her back to the very same media. She is like a modern day Trojan Horse. On the surface she is the consumerist vision in person; forever young, tall and glossy etc. Under the veneer, the work promotes discourse; a dismantling of that same image. She is an allegory for living in the 21st century and operates in the social sphere. She is democratic because it is the public that made her. People vote for her with their camera phones. Her image has spread virally around the world.”
About Pandemonia
Created mid 2000s by an anonymous London artist, Pandemonia is a multi-media conceptual Art project centered around a female motif constructed from symbols and archetypes. Pandemonia is a vessel for the artist to travel through society, and pass through the media eye into the intersubjective world of myth and brand. Through public interventions, Pandemonia is absorbed by the media complex, appearing in print magazines, film, social media and major product advertisements, all to reach and effect public consciousness. In addition, using her celebrity life as a narrative, the London artist inhabits
Pandemonia to create a wide range of Art and product that reflects and comments on 21st century life.
