The Invisible Police Photograph

"The imaginative use of characters as props can convey ideas, values and priorites very effecttively... using humans this way is not so unusual in fine art... Cindy Sherman's modifications to herself, and less well-known, Juha Arvid Helminen's striking Invisible Empire all speak of alternative world views, values, and motivations." Speculative Everything by Anthony Dunne & FionaRaby. The MIT press. "Like stills from a movie, carefully composed, lighted and staged, the pictures of The Invisible Empire are symbolic rather than realistic, yet they portray with cold accuracy the potential for the pursuit of domination and destruction in the heart of any human."
