TOMOS DAVIES
Start clipping. Keep clipping.
In ‘The Boy And His Dog’, I chose to focus on three issues, firstly Freud’s concept of the Id: the irrational part of the mind that represents our innate desires. The second, heavily intertwined, concerns how a materialistic, consumerist lifestyle leads to these desires being repressed, in turn leading to transgression. The third is the profound condition whereby humanity attempts unsuccessfully to bury its animal drives and urges within itself. Contextually, the piece is set in two locations, one pastoral and remote, the other urban and densely populated. With these different environments come different psychologies: spiritual fulfilment contrasting with dystopian nightmare.
