Indicative of Ralph Gibson's later work with color photography, this piece explores the cultural symbols that the photographer has been surrounded by since his childhood. By superimposing iconic American images on top of one another and juxtaposing dense color with grainy black and white, this atmospheric work exudes a dark, brooding depth and an opaque narrative of implied symbolic meaning.
