In The High Street:
Paul Ramirez Jonas – Public Trust (US)
How serious are the promises we make to one another, the vows we take, or the pledges made by our civic leaders? Public Trust asks participants to examine the value of their word. Participants declare a promise that is recorded in a drawing they can keep. They are asked to give their word in a way that’s consistent with their beliefs, such as swearing on a sacred text. That promise is published on a monumental marquee board, placed amongst promises made by politicians, scientists, economists, companies, and weather forecasters, all chosen daily from headline news.
