Empire

The Pax Americana guarantees tranquility, ensures comfort, and grants prosperity, in other words, an idyllic postcard of a new Empire. Archives images compiled by Salier demonstrates the blissful consumers of the American standard family, which become deformed by their transparent backdrops. Little by little, these transparent forms become more obvious, more readable, then, slowly one makes out military vehicles. Empire is a graphic illustration of American way of life, and its warlike tendencies.
