The Pilgrims - Mimosa Man
Mimosa Man is the newest single by The Pilgrims dir. by Garry Poppins, starring "Mimosa Man". Artist statement: "The 21st century will be rife with conflict, the turmoil a moral reflection of the human spirit. Mere mortal man was none meant for such long expanses of the mirror. Our reliance on creating screens to mimic our countenance, is a rather particular human exercise in mendacity; the facebook, the instagram, the chatsnap - these communicative tools are more important than the message (an obvious point can be drawn between McLuhan and what he framed as the "medium is the message"). Upon viewing this new statement, meditate on the man, the man is a being, a creature, a context - his "mimosa" is his substrate, his screen, the foundation of the being he would like the world to see. But in creating his "monster", he finds his own personal bete noire. Like Bergman's Persona, Mimosa Man is a deep contemplation of the social zeitgeist, our spiritual cracking and the profound crisis we currently find ourselves within."
