To reflect the theorizations of Horkheimer & Adorno and Kracauer, we juxtaposed the styles of Barbara Kruger and Shepherd Fairy with popular movie posters of the 2000’s. This project aims to expose the culture industry at work; the posters are altered to highlight their implication of being a piece of popular culture which serves as a mirror of the prevailing society. The text is used to speak to relevant themes, those being sameness, commodification, and of control.
