Notes

Interview with Alex Forrester conducted by Michelle Owoo. A student studying Politics and the Third World, Forrester is interested in social movements, such as the Red Brigade. He is taking a couple of signs up onto the plinth that are dedicated to his girlfriend, who is going to watch over the internet as she is currently studying abroad, as well as his parents thanking them for their support. He is also going to create paper cranes, listen to music, and take pictures - Forrester talks about not wanting to do anything extravagant, preferring to relax instead, indeed, he described his application for One and Other as originally being a bit of a joke. He recently travelled to the Philippines (where his girlfriend's parents live) and noting the poverty there and the positive attitude of people despite the fact that they have so little. He contrasted this with the excessive materialism in the UK.
