Jimmy Cauty's Aftermath Dislocation Principle (ADP) model village.
The Aftermath Dislocation Principle (ADP) is a trilogy of artworks by Jimmy Cauty on a nationwide tour across the UK.
Each artwork is a 1:87 scale model housed in a shipping container.
The models are viewed through observation ports in the sides of the containers.
ADP 1 is a 40ft container that houses a vast post-apocalyptic landscape populated only by the police and media crews. The landscape is set somewhere in Bedfordshire and is known as 'Old Bedford'.

------------------
seit den 1950er jahren bis heute wurden im rheinischen braunkohlerevier zwischen köln, mönchengladbach und aachen 46 dörfer und weiler und vier größere klöster bzw. burganlagen abgerissen. an ihrer stelle fraßen und fressen sich immer noch die großen, bis zu 350 meter tiefen tagebaue durch die landschaft. die bewohner werden umgesiedelt, wer nicht freiwillig geht, wird aus seinem haus herausgeklagt. umsiedlung oder vertreibung - die betroffenen menschen sehen das sehr unterschiedlich.
borschemich - 898 n. chr. erstmals urkundlich erwähnt, höchste einwohnerzahl 760 (in 1970), heute 54 einwohner (im dezember 2014) - muss dem tagebau "garzweiler 2" weichen und ist bereits weitgehend entsiedelt. danach werden noch lützerath, immerath, berverath, keyenberg, kuckum, oberwestrich, und unterwestrich von der erdoberfläche verschwinden. die orte reisdorf, garzweiler, priesterath, stolzenberg, elfgen, belmen, morken-harff, epprath, omagen, königshoven, otzenrath, spenrath, holz und zuletzt pesch sind inzwischen im tagebau garzweiler 2 versunken.
neben garzweiler 2 sind in der gegend noch zwei weitere tagebaue aktiv: "inden" und "hambach". inden ist inzwischen zum stillstand gekommen, nachdem 7 dörfer abgebaggert wurden. hambach wird in den nächsten jahren noch die ortschaften manheim und morschenich mitnehmen.
auffallend ist, dass diese gewaltige zerstörung von landschaft, lebensraum, kultur, heimat in der bundesdeutschen öffentlichkeit kaum wahrgenommen wird. selbst in den umliegenden städten und ballungsgebieten weiß kaum jemand um das ausmaß dieser verwüstung in der nachbarschaft.

since the 1950s until today some 46 villages and hamlets and four bigger monasteries and castles have been demolished in the rhenish lignite-mining district between cologne, mönchengladbach and aachen. in their place the enormous lignite open pits - up to 350 meters deep - have been gorging through the landscape, and they will proceed. the inhabitants have to leave their homes and villages. those who won't go voluntarily are sued for eviction.
the village of borschemich - founded in 898 a.d., largest population 760 (in 1970), population today 54 (in december 2014) has to give way to the open pit "garzweiler 2". after the demolition of borschemich also lützerath, immerath, berverath, keyenberg, kuckum, oberwestrich and unterwestrich will disappear from the earth's surface. fourteen other villages had shared this fate in the past.
it is quite striking to note that the german public doesn`t really perceive this tremendous destruction of landscape, anthroposphere, culture and heimat. even people in the nearby cities and urban agglomeration don't know much about the dimension of the devastation in their neighbourhood.
Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 25 miles (40 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2019 census, the city has an estimated population of 182,437. Fort Lauderdale is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,198,782 people in 2018.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control, operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

I have really neglected my artwork for the past few months and I have finally come to the realization of what seeking new eyes and not new landscapes truly means. I'm hoping that this will be a major turnaround in my life that will allow me to attend more focus to my ideas and I hope that it will spark a deeper meaning in my photos as well.
The latest project I have undertaken is a theme set up by the Definitely Superior Art Gallery (DefSup), called Dislocation.
In the past few days of thinking about this, I have had many thoughts regarding this subject buzzing around in my mind. Some of my thoughts have been regarding corporate greed, the loss of the human identity, as well as the loss of our own self identity. In our society, we are told how to work, learn, live, what to eat, and how to dress, and when it is okay to "retire"; but why? These thoughts, combined with my thoughts of the natural world around me made me feel completely dislocated. We now see animals as an unnatural intrusion into our environment, and we ourselves forget how ignorant we are towards nature because we have grown up in a world made up of completely unnatural things.
I am left to wonder: " true happiness... where does it lie...
In becoming more connected with the natural world around us?
Sometimes you just need to trust your instinct.
I'm thinking this may be one of my submissions.
James Cauty – The Aftermath Dislocation Principle Part V
Fonteijne, Vlissingen 2014
“The Aftermath Dislocation Principle Part V” van James Cauty ziet eruit als een verwoest, verlaten, vernietigd en verbrand landschap. In de overblijfselen zijn 5.000 politiemannen achtergebleven. Iedereen is opgepakt en weggevoerd, waarschijnlijk niet zonder slag of stoot. De politie heeft niemand meer om in de gaten te houden, op te pakken of te controleren. De ultieme politiestaat?
James Cauty's roguish and voluble approach has earned him a cult following for work that remains radical, responsive and darkly comical. He produces work that draws on and responds to contemporary culture, very often sampling it and sending/selling it back as recoded realities. In billboard and stamp projects Mickey Mouse was sent to Iraq in 'Operation Magic Kingdom' whilst Julie Andrews danced across vast rubbish heaps, crushed cars were sold to second hand car dealers as art and riots have been rendered as tiny models in jam jars.
His most recent work has been focussed on the making of 1:87 riotous scale models as small world re-enactments, often displayed in upturned jam jars as A Riot in A Jam Jar. His new exhibition The Aftermath Dislocation Principle continues this preoccupation with small world re-enactments as a vast 1:87 scale-model landscape (equivalent to 1 sq mile in miniature) which has been desolated, deserted, destroyed, burnt and is devoid of life apart from 5000 or so model police that attend this apocalyptic aftermath; a kind of bizarre twisted model village experience, where Cauty continues his fascination with subversion, consumerism and entertainment through creative exploration and dark humour.

James Cauty's 1:87 scale distopian vision housed in a 40' shipping container, currently on tour across the UK. Seen in Exeter as part of Art Week.
The ADP (Aftermath Dislocation Principle), aka The Model Village from Banksy's Dismaland.The Aftermath Dislocation Principle (ADP) is a trilogy of artworks by Jimmy Cauty (formerly of KLF) on a nationwide tour. Each artwork is a 1:87 scale model housed in a shipping container. The models are viewed through observation ports in the sides of the container between 11am and 7pm when its illuminated.
ADP 1 is a 40ft container that houses a vast post-apocalyptic landscape populated only by the police and media crews.
The artwork only goes to towns where there's been a riot. Macc had one in Market Place, with potatoes, in 1812. Who knew?
Been a while since i posted a self portrait. haha Well this wasn't taken by me, but it was OF me. I dislocated my elbow last night. What you are seeing here is the top bone, my Humerus, has popped out of the socket of the Radius and Ulna. So now the most common answers to common questions:
1. Yes... it hurt. Bad.
2. Happened in my soccer game. I fell down and as I planted my left arm to get back up, another player who was kicking for the ball, kicked the back of my elbow at full power. Dislocating it.
The ER Dr. first tried popping it back in by pulling and twisting it. But my blood curdling screams indicated this wasn't working. (AAAAHHH!!#&^$%@*&!!!)
So they gave me an IV, which put me into La-La land, then pulled and twisted again. It still hurt, but not as bad. I quickly felt it pop back into its socket. I now am wearing a sling and its really sore. At least i didn't break anything. I should be back behidn the camera shooting very soon!
