Maximillian Helmer - MA Show 2018


My project takes as its starting point, the emotional bond between people and their sense of national identity. All around the world there are examples of disputes around issues of national, religious and ethical identities. Brexit and the rise of populist ideas in Europe are consequences of this trend where it can appear that dysfunction and negativity are more popular than positivity. This project seeks to reach out to everyone to reconsider their own sense of personal ‘self’. The European project is often more commonly known for its economic aspects rather than social. My work reconsiders the EU project as a unifying identity with values such as unity, tolerance and exchange.
