It Was Fun While it Lasted
Namaste, Motherf*cker investigates American mythology through the lens of California public lands, self-expression and moral-relativism. Focusing on the pervasive graffiti covering natural features of Southern California public lands as well as the subsequent attempts to “buff” these markings, the project highlights a visual tug of war that doubles as ideological. Does the word “public” mean “shared resource” or “belonging to no one”? These attitudes of samaritanship and narcissistic relativism, that is, freedom of expression that ostensibly rejects moral and societal responsibilities, in turn, play into the larger narrative of American attitudes about freedom and democracy as dissonant as the project’s title.
