Wednesday Visitor - Chris Alton

Chris Alton



Chris likes to focus on societal concerns and then turns them into pieces to convey the viewers that something should be done or to at least begin discussion about the matter. In the piece," A Hollywood Film in which Climate Change is Averted",shows how Hollywood behaves with the constant depiction of an apocalyptic world in which we have all mistreated our planet.However, in Alton's piece he gives the message that we should be imaging a better future for our race and that if we predict it to be that way we should change that whilst we are able to. Because with the mindset that we cant do anything, nothing will happen. It is always better to be positive about the outcome. If the majority of the population knew that they could make a difference then they would try to save it. This was the message he was getting across with his bold, textile banner that depicted the classic American colours and film sets of Hollywood. He believes this would spark a collective responsibility that can address large scale world issues. This is just one example of his work and many more show political problems especially with the Trump campaign.
