Nadia Plesner"My illustration Simple Living is an idea inspired by the media's constant cover of completely meaningless things. My thought was: Since doing nothing but wearing designerbags and small ugly dogs apparently is enough to get you on a magazine cover, maybe it is worth a try for people who actually deserve and need attention.
When we're presented with the same images in the media over and over again, we might start to believe that they're important.
As I was reading the book "Not on our watch" by Don Cheadle and John Prendergast this summer, I felt horrified by the fact that even with the genocide and other ongoing atrocities in Darfur, Paris Hilton was the one getting all the attention. Is it possible that show business have outruled common sense?
If you can't beat them, join them. This is why I have chosen to mix the cruel reality with showbiz elements in my drawing."
