Barbara Kruger Assignment
A) In this photo I see a pair of leather dress shoes, very snazzy and look as if owned by a wealthy man perhaps a lawyer or government official or maybe even a man with class and style. They are a pair with out feet in them and they rest on a shaggy like carpet of some sort.
B) The message being said in this picture to me would be about materialism and how possessions are more important to people than other things. We live in a consumer driven society where the things we buy get old in a few days. The words in the photo are a statement that despite the obsession with possessions these things become both worthless and pointless after death and in the grave.
C) I do enjoy some of Barbara Kruger’s to an extent. I do not like the way she puts her words together by looking through articles. I feel that it is more creative and significant when the statement is completely made up from your own mind. Some of her photo’s do not interest me along with her writing, despite this there are a few I do enjoy, so over all id say that she was not my favourite but not the worst.
