In
his own words:
"I
am interested in the idea of play as a metaphor for how society operates. We
live in an era where daily life is becoming ever more structured, planned and
controlled. It feels as if there exists a complex group of games with rules and
laws to follow while at the same time there are rule-breakers and alternatives
to the system."
