Parliament of Owls is an attempt to highlight what happens when there is a vacuum of information within society. Focusing on the elite men’s only ‘Bohemian Club’ in Northern California, Latham’s images trace the dangers of not providing context to the public. Founded in 1872, the bohemian Club meets yearly within a redwood forest next to the town of Monte Rio. Some of it’s most notable members have included Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon and George Bush Sr/Jr. Shrouded in secrecy the club’s antics, during its yearly retreats, have become the subject of speculation, creating countless theories and rumours. During the year 2000, a relatively unknown Alex Jones (a Right Wing conspiracy theorist) broke into the encampment. With the aide of his cameraman, filmed the ‘Cremation of Care’. A theatrical play that takes place during the festivities in which an effigy of ‘worldly cares’ is burnt underneath a statue of an Owl. Jones would later release the footage to the general public, removing it from its context as a play and instead, suggested that the global elite were sacrificing real people and went so far as to insinuate that they were children. This act alone spring boarded Alex Jones’s career and made a mainstream name and the voice of alternative news. One of the threads of this projects shows the rise of Alex Jones to later become a source for ‘factual news’ for President Donald Trump. In 2002, after watching the documentary Jones released, a man calling himself the ‘Phantom Patriot’ broke into the grove armed with a crossbow and a shotgun with the aim of liberating the ‘captured children’. He was later arrested on terrorism charges and served 8 years in prison. This work is an attempt to explore the dangers within society when voids of context are challenged. The abscess of knowledge invites project and speculation.
