AUTRMX

"...in a society such as ours...there are manifold relations of power that permeate, characterise and constitute the social body, and these relations of power cannot themselves be established, consolidated nor implemented without the production, accumulation, circulation, and functioning of a discourse."

— Michel Foucault

AUTRMX is an experimental video that explores themes of authority and power dynamics. This project builds on my previous work, Authority, in which a policeman performs a series of shifting moods while delivering a nonsensical monologue. Over the course of the video, his demeanour changes from calm indifference to intense anger, reflecting the fluidity and unpredictability of Authority in society.

Like Authority, AUTRMX is a metaphor for Michel Foucault's theories on power in modern societies, where power is dynamic, pervasive, and constantly reshaping within social structures.
