ReviewOctober 4, 2006Photographer Tim Davis maps the peculiar landscape of US politics, framing a miscellany of objects, people, places, and situations epitomizing the bizarre amalgamation of conviction and capitalism in today's America. Davis' camera captures cardboard cutouts of glamour politicians JFK, Bill, and Hillary cavorting with entertainment icons Buffy, Austin Powers, and Xena Warrior Princess. Another photo shows a Martin Luther King, Jr.-themed mural proclaiming "One People One Nation One Taco One Destiny" above the tables in a fast food joint. Other found scenarios include a young, combat-clad anarchist slumbering beneath an upside-down American flag and the President cloned on widescreens in electronics retailer Circuit City. In Davis' un-staged images, the land of the free parodies itself. -SK
A concurrent solo exhibition, Illuminations , is on display at Galerie Edward Mitterand, Geneva, through November 4. |
