QATAR PANINI DEAD WORKER STICKER ALBUM

Video about my Qatar World Cup sticker project I’ve been working on for the last few months. I printed 6500 stickers and distributed many of them resealed in sticker packs and returned to shops, dropped into sticker albums on shop shelves and generally left around the place. I’ve made the stickers available to buy from my website to avoid anyone going and giving Panini any more money in an attempt to find these stickers. I’ll be donating any profits to a suitable charity, which I’ve yet to find (any suggestions for one that supports migrant worker families would be appreciated)

OCCUPATION

Football is incredibly popular in Palestine but the occupation makes it difficult to flourish. The Palestine national team faces restrictions on travel and dozens of its most promising players have been frequently imprisoned, injured, permanently disabled, and killed after attacks and raids by Israeli forces. In 2014 two young national team players Jawhar Nasser and Adam Halabiya were shot repeatedly in the feet and legs near an Israeli checkpoint in occupied Palestine. Palestinian football stadiums and fields have been bombed by Israeli forces and sections of the separation wall were built down the middle of the pitch at Abu Dis campus of Al-Quds University.

OLYMPIC FLAME

In response to the daft spectacle of the Olympic torch being paraded through the streets of Britain to drum up indifference towards the London 2012 games, I decided to sell a flame taken from this torch on the popular tat engine, eBay. I felt like this was an entirely appropriate way to celebrate the greed and nonsense of the games, which is essentially a glorified & intensely commercial throwing and running contest. A kind of Sports Day for adults, but with businessmen watching from the sidelines instead of parents. So I started selling fire on Ebay. UPDATE: The auction has since been cancelled and Ebay have placed an indefinite selling restriction on my account because they are “not comfortable” with my “business model”.
