Civil Atrocities - Amy Bassin

Civil Atrocities
Digital photography

Drawing on American history, this imaginary, abstract and ambiguous photography series mirrors systemic social/political issues rooted in the past that still exist today. I create tableaus with toy figures and soldiers from different time periods and wars with light, ice, water, and everyday objects. The distorted figures often depict racial, gender, class, and/or political inequalities. The images, open to interpretation mirror many of America’s current day divisiveness.
