#Beijing2022 #CrimesAgainstHumanity
Badiucao is proving that major international sports events and crimes against humanity share deep and dark roots. What is more, he is proving that they can and must be seen in conjunction.
The up-coming Olympics in Beijing is his case in point. The first of his five animations in collaboration with Human Rights Watch lets the Olympic flame highlight the crimes against humanity taking place in China. This is the reality of the Olympic spirit.
Badiucao uses monochrome layers that at once tell us of what China wishes to remain hidden and his uncovering them. A single strip of colour from the bleeding head midway accentuates the alarm that he is sounding. Let every wrongdoing be known.
