RE-CONTEXTUALISATION RATIONALE
The image of 5 people standing in close proximity, wearing a message that says
“I can’t find my friends” is immediately recognised as a personal statement made public. Using t-shirts as a symbol of unity, this looks at the notion of individuality (within a crowd of people) and also raises questions of ‘friends’ given the current prevalence of online social networking and new media.

The use of irony and absurdity transforms an otherwise sombre message into one with substantial comedic value.

ANALYSIS
This installation became performance, which was met with intrigue. The busy hour at which it took place (9.00am) meant there was a large volume of onlookers with which the message was able to interact (public) and invite a response.
