© Paolo Nobile • The Next Will Be Chemical
.
On August 13th I came to know of a new song by Radiohead: Harry Patch (in memory of).
The song was written by Thom Yorke in memory of the last remaining WWI British veteran who died recently at the age of 111 (yes, one-hundred-eleven). The last verse reads: “The next [war] will be chemical but they will never learn”. I have thought of appropriating these words and made them the title of an image which had been in my mind for some time with regard to water contamination.
I do not know whether the next war will be chemical but – at the current pace – within few decades pollution and, consequently, water contamination will have the same effect.
Below a couple of pictures of the set and a few links for those interested in the subject.
