these chairs target the issue of incidental death as a result of war. women. children. fathers. responsible citizens of the community. in the blink of an eye, they lose their life, for somebody else’s war, for somebody else’s reasons. they’re killed by mistake — but, by definition, it’s considered an acceptable loss. these chairs, I think, suggest the true nature of our disposable society.
