“Four legs good, two legs bad.”

From Animal Farm by George Orwell.

Humans walk upright, but use chairs to rest or work. 

The act of sitting in a chair leads to thought.

We all sit, and we all think.

I thought it would be interesting to poke fun at those philosophers who were too solemn and serious by changing their quotes into ridiculous sentences. I want my audience to be able to see my work and look at philosophers with wit and humour and from a Post-colonial point of view.

I chose twelve philosophers. Then I chose twelve chairs that represented their time and place. I also changed some of the words in their more famous quotes into either "sit" or “chair”.
