A New Tomorrow That Starts Today draws inspiration from the comic-book world, while also using a B-movie and sci-fi aesthetic language. Meir Tati's new installation depicts a series of mutants, whose faces are composed of fragmented diverse political leaders, such as Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Erdoğan and many more.
The superpower these politicians obtain is the power given to them by the citizens, and this is how they became "super-humans." The mouth in the video addresses the audience with a series of re-edited monologues, taken from various comic-book based movies.
This work is a continuation of Tati's artistic practice, drawing inspiration from current political affairs while referencing pop-culture and the world of sci-fi and comic books; mixing documentary and fiction, by creating complex installations that ask questions regarding our perception of reality and history.
