Referendum (Tell Me How Do You Feel)

Referendum (Tell Me How Do You Feel) is a digital sister artwork to the installation of the same name. Created for Fermynwoods Contemporary Art's Open 7: Can You Hear Me?, Referendum reduces the practical and legal arguments for citizenship to a flood of visuals concerning the country of the artist's birth and the country she now calls home. These two animated GIFs cycle rapidly through images associated with the United States and United Kingdom, together with a pertinent quote from Rebecca Solnit’s book Wanderlust: A History of Walking. Will the visuals have an effect on the viewer’s decision? Underneath is an interactive ballot where the viewer is invited to cast a vote. http://www.fermynwoods.co.uk/current-programme/open-online-seven/jessica-harby-referendum/
