The Inhuman Disposition

Final Year Project (Phase Three)
This project is a subsidiary to my final year project done based on the term 'Diffusion of Responsibility', also known as the Bystander Effect; whereby a person is less likely to take responsibility for an action or inaction when others are present.
 
The Inhuman Disposition
_____

As the society dips into a socio-psychological phenomenon, known as the Diffusion of Responsibility, whereby a person is less likely to take responsibility for an action or inaction when others are present, the human behaviour shows clear evidence resulting in moral and social breakdown. 

The Inhuman Disposition examines the repercussions of the system which has an adverse rippling effect on the society. The social instability forms the future world without humanity beliefs in each individual by the  cause of erosion in standards and values. 

The surreal visuals create representations of the viewer in position as the bystander to impact and prompt the viewer to reconsider their position in public when encountering the circumstances.

Certain people have said that the world is like a calm pond, and that anytime
a person does even the smallest thing, it is as if a stone has dropped into the pond,
spreading circles of ripples further and further out, until the entire world has been
changed by one action.
