This particular piece that i've chosen has to deal with the photographs of the american troops humiliating Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison that were published on the internet. The artist, Copper Greene captured the iconic ipod ad and used parody, in a sense to get his point across. The figure has electrodes attached to his hands standing on a box. The electric wires printed in pure white, like ipod headphones, transformed it into a dark comedy.
