After the Revolution, Who Will Clean Up the Mess? is a work created by Glasgow based artist Ellie Harrison for the Counterpoint exhibition at Edinburgh’s Talbot Rice Gallery. Since 1 August, four large confetti canons have sat at the ready in the gallery, awaiting the outcome of the Referendum. In the early hours of 19 September, in the event of a yes vote, the confetti canons will detonate in the presence of revellers at the Referendum Results Party and those watching the live webcast online. A no vote will result in the canons remaining dormant until the end of the exhibition on 18 October.

After the Revolution, Who Will Clean Up the Mess? aims to question the possibilities and consequences of radical political change. To hear more from Ellie, watch this interview about the project:
