11 luxury
critique: We have reached a point
where luxury negates itself and now becomes that of the absurd. It has
lost its true essence as it becomes further diluted by its desire to
become a commodity like any other, produced en-masse and sold for profit.
reinterpret: The task is to reinterpret
luxury as something more than stuff, where there is a belief in the
existence of a spiritual comfort that transcends that which is may be
experienced through the acquisition of material goods.
propose: The conclusion of this
manifests itself at nine sites scattered throughout the Scotrail Railway
network where an intervention is proposed at a particular station which
refers directly to a personal experience of that site. These luxury
interventions include the journey itself, the sunsetting over Lochalsh
and listening to the sea crash of the Mallaig coastline.
