WHAT’S WRONG? with The Consolations of Genius

 
 
This new series of collage works is partly based on the phenomenon of ‘cognitive dissonance’, the experience we have when irrefutable evidence clashes with our basic beliefs about the World. 
I have imagined dreams for my Irish literary geniuses, where perhaps they live like gods, but perhaps it is a kind of purgatory, because, as people are learning in the case of the 9/11 events, the news is in, and it’s not at all good... 
 However, guess what? If we know about it, we can start to fix it!
 Read more: The apparent emerging facts around 9/11 are disturbing but many feel, and I do, that they have to be examined. Don’t you think it’s about time we found out the truth? I personally believe it has to be faced and can be an opportunity for change and renewal.

 Did you know, for instance, though it is in itself very shocking and is a ‘smoking gun’, that a team of scientists found, on examining every sample tested of the ‘WTC dust’, highly significant amounts of what they believe can only be ultra-high-tech explosives? 
You can read the scientific report HERE. 
It sounds less crazy when you find out that the US Military in the early ’60’s offered the president plans to stage terrorist attacks on US citizens (including fake-real air-crashes) to justify war ?

In fact it appears that many ruling elites through and into modern history have used ‘False- Flag’ operations to terrify and control their own citizens. Why not see what demolition expert Danny Dowenko thinks when shown Building 7 falling. Never heard of Building 7? the campaign to explain is called ‘Building What?’
 I think this new ‘Scientists for 9/11 Truth’ site is great and explains a lot of stuff well. 
Maybe start with a reliable source HERE or more science HERE or other folk HERE

Seán Hillen: Born  12th April 1961 in Newry, Northern Ireland, and now lives in Dublin.

Studied at Belfast College of Art, London College of Printing, and at the Slade School of Fine Art.

First became known for photomontages, based on his own documentary photos from the Northern Irish 'troubles', 2 now on semipermanent exhibition at Imperial War Museum North, others among recent acquisitions at Wolverhampton Museum and Art Gallery and a small collection on forthcoming permanent exhibition in Newry and Mourne Museum.
From the 1990’s, his series of collage works titled ‘IRELANTIS’ came to be described as “the most vivid and emblematic expression of the dreams and anxieties of ‘Celtic Tiger’ Ireland”.  Hillen has also executed video, stage design, advertisements, title graphics and permanent sculptures, including co-designing, with landscape architect Desmond Fitzgerald, the Omagh Bomb Memorial.
