Donald Trump is attempting to build a
multi-million pound golf course in
Scotland, but the project has courted
controversy and "Trump is battling local
salmon fisherman Michael Forbes, who is
refusing to sell up. His ramshackle 25-
acre (10 hectare) farm lies right in the
middle of the proposed
second hole and
hotel site." (yahoo.com)
I now propose a piece of work that
symbolises the heroic struggle of the
plain
man Forbes against the mega-rich
Trump.
The work will consist of a replica Trump
head, equipped with a small hatch on the
back of its scalp. This hatch enables
dollar
shaped cuts of meat to access the head
via
a mechanical conveyor belt.
Once in place, each piece of meat enters
the perfect warm environment of the
nurturing Trump. This results in the
generation of large flies which
periodically
emerge from between the pouting lips of
the head.
Contained within the space enclosing the
work is a model of the controversial site,
featuring another replica head of
Trump's
opponent, the redoubtable Mr Forbes.
The Forbes head has a salmon gripped
between its teeth, featuring an open
mouth, that exudes the fly attracting
glow
of a blue neon golf ball.
Flies emitted from the Trump head
inevitably make their way into the
salmon's mouth where they are promptly
zapped by a high voltage charge.
Each fly zapping incident also generates
the recorded sound of a cheering and
applauding audience. Spectators are
encouraged to join in by cranking the
machine which powers the apparatus.
(this
also randomly agitates the Trump head
into a hair flicking frenzy)
(With an acknowledgement of Damien
Hirst's fly generating piece. Sorry
Damien,
but I outlined an idea for a fly factory at
college, years before you - except you
had
the money to build it !)
