I re-read my post and realized that I didn't mention what the work was that I passed often - the AGO commissioned piece by Barbara Kruger. It is a site-specific work on display of the front facade. Kruger created it in response to the festival's theme 'pervasive influence'. Consisting of found images and statements that include "shove it", "love it", "kiss it", "believe it", and "shame it". This project aimed to explore 'how photography informs and transforms human behaviour, especially via the medium's connections to mass media, advertising, consumerism, and propaganda'.
