Stay/Go
2007
Two large-scale chromogenic prints are presented side by side as a diptych, featuring Kruger's signature bold, black-and-white photography overlaid with stark red-and-white text. The words "Stay" and "Go" command the viewer with Kruger's characteristically confrontational graphic language, borrowed from the visual vocabulary of advertising and mass media. The artist's frames further assert her control over the work's presentation, reinforcing her ongoing interrogation of power, desire, and the directives that govern human behavior.
