Wait a second. Are you writing a paper for school or is your client an arts institution? If (a), then, um, you know just pick something.

it´s your brief that sucked buster. if i wanted somebody´s feedback, i´d make sure to provide the people i´m asking with proper context for the problem. not acting like a dick usually also helps a lot.
