FIATFIRE’s Persistence of Hegemony brings together three images already charged with history: The Hooded Man from Abu Ghraib, The Terror of War from Vietnam, and a 2003 U.S. $100 bill. Placed in direct relation, the three images reveal how violence, state power, and the symbolism of money continue to reinforce one another. The collage format is correct for this material. Collage is the medium of juxtaposition, the form that says: these things belong together, even if no one has put them together before. FIATFIRE is not illustrating a thesis. The image is the thesis. The starting bid is 300,000 sats. The buy now is 600,000. The work documents something that cost considerably more than that.
Giclée collage print on paper. 16 x 20 inches. Unframed. Ships from artist.
