ESCAPISME (IN FISH TANK 2009)


ONE GIRL. ONE COUNCIL ESTATE. ONE BAD RUN. ONE LIFE. ONE DECISION: ESCAPE.
THE STORY OF ESCAPISME. ESCAPE FROM THE RAWNESS OF THE HUMAN CONDITION
INTO A STATE OF CONTROLLED DECISIONS.

FACTS:
O1. 4 MILLION PEOPLE: COUNCIL ESTATES [ENGLAND]
O2. DYSFUNCTIONAL COMMUNITIES
O3. RESULTS: SUMMER RIOTS 2011

For years now, too many people have remained unaware of the true nature of life on some of our estates. This was because we had ghettoised many of these problems, keeping them out of sight of the middle-class majority. But last month the inner city finally came to call, and the country was shocked by what it saw.
