• DIANA SAID

    March 2019

  • In the animated virtual reality work Diana Said (2019) the viewer is seated within a glass cell that floats upriver in an eerie dream world inhabited by cows. The cow has been bred for centuries with an eye to maximum profit and for the pleasure of consumption; in Johnson’s work the cow becomes an elemental figure, a highly specialized object of modernity.
