Hello, There were some questions about Jeff Wall's work A Sudden Gust of Wind. The photo I have posted is A High Wind in Yeijiri 1831-3 by Hokusai. About Wall's photograph I found this: '...bureaucrats or bean counters, away from the office to inspect the farmers' book. But when a gust of wind blows their efforts to impose order and organisation skywards they are suddenly, like farmers, subjected to the capricious forces of the weather... ...equalising the group under nature' it continues 'Wall likes to remind himself that the intoxicating freedom of computers is an illusion. We are not divine but error-prone and mortal'Burnett, C Jeff Wall, TATE 2005
