There
is a moment in Planet of the Apes when Charlton
Heston (or Marky Mark, depending on your
age) stumbles upon the head of the Statue
of Liberty. Suddenly, everything becomes
clear. She was the symbol of the US of A
and thus, by reductive Hollywood logic,
the world. So they're on Earth. Damn.

But
what if they'd ended up in London? Without the
American propensity for scale and ostentatious
design, they'd have been screwed. But thankfully,
Naomi 'The Ego' Campbell, has come to the rescue,
selflessly donating her body for two entirely
unique 30
feet statues. NYC gets Liberty and London
gets the Statue of Narcissism? Marvellous.
We were hoping that Nick Knight, the creator
of this monumental amusement, was pulling either
our leg or hers. Sadly, it seems neither. Whatever
happened to models being content with two dimensions?
I mean, it's not like they've got any depth anyway.
Prints were good enough to get Go-Go Gagosian
off and running.
