Jeremy Deller

War on Terror (Cycles chained, noir et blanc)

Five chromogenic prints capture the stark visual language of protest and political resistance, presenting bicycles bound together with chains in black and white. Jeremy Deller's work evokes the imagery of civil unrest and collective action, drawing connections between everyday objects and the broader socio-political climate of the post-9/11 era. The monochromatic palette strips the scene of distraction, forcing the viewer to confront the tension between mundane life and the pervasive culture of surveillance and conflict.
