Much as he once buried a plane that was no longer in use as a performative earth work, Hiorns hints here to an excavation of sorts, an unearthing of the forgotten social, political, consumer, industrial,
mechanical elements of our society and resignification of these elements vis - à - vis the presence of the bodies of naked youth.
Thus, mechanization slowly comes to be the «substitute religion» for
society where «the necessity
of invention was a dogma, and the ritual
of a
mechanical routine was the binding
element in the faith.»
