The text
Men Are Really Great
appeared originally in the projection,
Complete Hero,
created by the artist for the British Army in 2009.
It can be taken at face value or viewed ironically if seen from a post-colonial, post-feminist perspective.
The text was projected onto the austere, modernist elevations of the Guards’ Chapel, Bird cage Walk, London UK.
The full text, quoting writer Adam Nicolson,
NOTE

reads:
Men are really great or at least have the capacity to be great in them.
