- Summary:
- Since meeting as students in the late summer of 1967, Gilbert & George have been travelling together on a visionary and moral journey that they liken to John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. This journey is made on foot along the endless streets of London; occasionally by bus to the city's eastern edges. New-build developments on reclaimed and reworked land; excursions into a not-too-distant future, as disquietingly mild as it is lowering. These 'New Normal Pictures' have the air, also, of temperate yet strangely intense days. In fact, the stages on a journey they seem to recount have a 'post-everything' air; as though Gilbert & George have just crossed through a fissure in time to a place that is almost but not quite familiar - a place that looks normal but is not normal, is skewed, perhaps abandoned.
