Fear book
Fear is a handmade artist book of eleven prints reflecting on the United States’ response to the September 11, 2001 attacks.
In the wake of the attacks, national leadership publicly urged citizens to “live life normally” and to go shopping, while simultaneously promoting fear of others instead of encouraging critical reflection on cultural, political, and imperial practices. Repeated directives to “live in fear,” amplified by mainstream media, shaped the national narrative.
Each of the eleven symbols addresses a range of issues, including the manipulation of information, the ownership of knowledge, and the instability of truth.
