I see the right, mirrored; in the center a soft Volkswagen

2004

Kelley Walker's *I see the right, mirrored; in the center a soft Volkswagen* presents a visually disorienting composition that plays with symmetry, repetition, and the language of consumer culture. The mirrored structure fragments and doubles familiar imagery, collapsing distinctions between original and copy, while the central presence of the Volkswagen evokes the soft, malleable quality associated with Claes Oldenburg's Pop sensibility. Walker's work probes the circulation of images and objects within mass media, questioning how meaning shifts and destabilizes through reproduction and reflection.
