Description: The project grew out of an invitation to work with an image from the photographic archive of the Mexican muralist David Siqueiros. The work was part of a group exhibition held at REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater) in 2006. This image was not from the Siqueiros archive. It shows two men that had been stripped of their cloths and are collapsed in the street after the riot. The image was digitally altered and is nearly abstract image.
