SPOILS OF WAR
REF: SP25WMB1
EDITION: 1 OF 1
"Spoils of War" explores the intricate and often sinister relationship between trade and conflict on a global scale.
Each edition of the piece is adorned with real dollar bills, symbolizing the toxic fuel that powers this cycle. The decommissioned AK-47, which has seen active service, is covered with burnt dollar bills, evoking the dirt, fumes, and corruption that lie at the heart of this interplay. The weapon is then intricately collaged with hand-cut detailing from the dollar bills, transforming the iconic object of violence into a layered commentary on power and greed.
Bran replaces the AK-47’s bullets with commodities sourced from regions plagued by conflict where the weapon itself is prevalent. Rather than neutralizing the weapon, these commodities amplify its symbolism, highlighting the latent power and exploitation tied to both. The work subtly underscores the interdependence of these commodities and the weapon, portraying a destructive feedback loop where one fuels and sustains the other.
