Art Keeps Us Aware of Unintended Consequences of Our So-Called State Stability

Nerdwriter describes here, how film, sculpture and art expose the bare naked realities beyond the stories of men.

Shown in Cuaron's film, Children of Men, are paradoxes of people's self important narratives too often foregrounded over global conditions they're reacting to.

While we are all attracted to the foregrounding of the UK and Cameron exit, we mustn't let ourselves be trapped by its narrow effects.

We can keep to our main stories if we want, live in our little worlds. That's what this vote has meant.

But sooner or later the background is gonna come for all of us.
