The species of “Celebrity”, has always given the world an outlet for imagination, as the gods and demigods of ancient Greece and Rome once did. Celebrities are our myth bearers; carriers of the divine forces of good, evil, lust, power, wealth, heroism, villainy and redemption. But FAME ain't what it used to be… Celebrities have always been borne aloft on images marketed, sold, packaged and prepared before being disseminated with a speed and cunning unimagined by the heroes of the stories of yore… before; being just as quickly cast aside - BUT - Fast forward to the CREATURE of celebrity today… and PLEASE take a moment and spare a thought for the poor suffering celebrities out there. The last few years have been tough for everyone… particularly on the incredibly rich and famous. They have been repeatedly UPSTAGED by world events… first a global pandemic, then the onslaught of impending economic recession and now - the situation has been compounded by war. Celebrity culture and capitalism are inextricably entwined. Both elevate the individual over the collective good. They rely on a LIE of “meritocracy”: work hard and you can achieve whatever you want - like say win an Oscar for Best Actor after hitting another man in front of millions on national TV - and get away with it?… What do we really expect though. A moment like this is golden - feeding the global audience through a mangle of unrelenting DREAD and VIOLENCE. Hypocrisy and privilege in its finest and purest form. Celebrity is simply an exercise in terror… a terror that has crossed the final rubicon. Today they are vessels, demoted from gods of the natural world to agents of the flow of information and cringe inducing self-absorbed drama. Hollywood is the fucked up horror quilt of stitches and pus that infects our society on a cellular level. It poisons reality and shifts our energies and focus. As a bastion of ideologies, the once gilded factory of cinema… has become little more than a mirror to show the UGLINESS of our world at large. We agree then - these people are manufactured. As a society we seem to have developed an APPETITE for both their inflated and deflated selves. We want to both elevate and destroy our celebrities… All the while destroying OURSELVES in the process. Wear a face if you need to. Enter whole heartedly into a new illusory world of created characters and no consequences. We are all entirely FUCKED. But who cares anyway? We just want to be ENTERTAINED.
