WARNING - Ireland turning its back on America

WARNING – New satellite surveillance of Ireland has revealed a disturbing development which has gone unnoticed until now. The entire country seems to have become inverted, effectively turning its back on the entire Atlantic Ocean.

Kevin Tuohy, of public representation group WHY? had this to say when we contact him earlier today: “How has this affected the airline and shipping industries, and why have we not heard about it until now? It is shocking to think that a significant minority of trades have been fully aware of this situation for some time, but apparently have chosen to give themselves the opportunity to adapt to this situation before alerting the general public. It further adds to the alienation felt by the general population of this island, and to their growing disenchantment with politics, business, finance, the economy, climate change, and the world of Art & Culture.”

Politicians are scrambling to be the first to offer solutions to this situation. The Minister for Defence has suggested the Navy could simply tow the country back around, in a clockwise direction. Minister for Local Government replied that the problem is “Horizontal Inversion not Rotation” – a cutting jibe indeed.

This phenomenon of National Horizontal Inversion has not been reported before in the entire History of the World, but the Taoiseach was in confident mood, proclaiming “We are the first to get it, and we will be the first to get out of it.”

Meanwhile, traffic chaos has gripped the country, as motorists suddenly realised that all the road signage and markings are also inverted, making them illegible – a fact that had gone unnoticed until yesterday. Residents of “naegniaD nA” were particularly incensed, having undergone a traumatic name change from ‘Dingle’ to ‘An Daingean’ only so recently. “We wont accept this” said local residents committee representative Anna Dood.

More on this unfolding story…

±Plus/Minus was a residency project organised by SKART Artist Collaboration, where 9 artists were invited to make work in the village of Sattra on the island Oland off the east coast of southern Sweden for 10 days in February 08. Below is documentation of the work I made during this project, and some photographic work.
